Xiaoyu, a UI designer at an internet company, has always wanted to start a side job to increase his income. By chance, he saw online that some people were making a fortune selling NFT digital artworks. The exquisite and unique digital creations, along with the potential wealth returns, instantly ignited his interest.
Xiaoyu already had a solid design foundation and quickly created a series of uniquely styled digital works, ready to showcase on the NFT trading platform. However, when he was excitedly preparing to list his works, he was stopped by the complex wallet connection and transaction processes. Various wallet plugins were cumbersome to install, and the rules of different platforms were complicated. Just trying to connect his wallet took him several days in front of the computer, but he still couldn’t succeed. "At that time, I felt particularly helpless, as if standing in front of a treasure door but unable to find the key to open it," Xiaoyu recalled that experience, still feeling a bit resigned.
Just when Xiaoyu was about to give up, during a gathering with friends, he shared his troubles. A friend who develops blockchain immediately recommended WalletConnect to him, saying, "This thing is really useful; it can help you easily connect your wallet and NFT platform, and it’s simple and safe to operate!"
With a try-it-out mentality, Xiaoyu began to learn about WalletConnect. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it is an open-source protocol, like a convenient bridge, that allows for quick and secure connections to various crypto wallets and decentralized applications (dApps) by scanning QR codes or clicking deep links, without cumbersome plugin installations. "This is simply my lifesaver!" Xiaoyu exclaimed.
Following the tutorial, Xiaoyu quickly connected his commonly used crypto wallet and preferred NFT trading platform using WalletConnect. Seeing the "Connection Successful" message on the screen, he was so excited that he nearly jumped up. After successfully connecting, Xiaoyu smoothly listed his NFT works. Initially, his works didn't have high view counts, but he didn’t get discouraged. He continuously optimized the work descriptions and actively promoted them on social media. Finally, hard work paid off; his first NFT work was successfully sold. Although the price wasn’t high, this small achievement greatly encouraged him.
As he gained experience, Xiaoyu gradually mastered the marketing techniques in the Web3 world. He began to regularly release new works and engaged in exchanges and collaborations with other NFT creators, leading to increasing recognition and sales for his works. Besides NFT trading, Xiaoyu also discovered that WalletConnect was very useful in other Web3 applications. He tried participating in some decentralized design competitions, also quickly connecting his wallet via WalletConnect to receive rewards, making the entire process simple and smooth.
Now, Xiaoyu earns a considerable income every month by selling NFT works, successfully starting his Web3 side business. He also recommended WalletConnect to friends who are interested in Web3, saying sincerely, "If you also want to explore the Web3 world, WalletConnect is definitely an indispensable helper for you." $WCT
