Many people use @WalletConnect every day, possibly unaware of its influence. Open Trust Wallet, scan a code, and connect to Uniswap; behind this is WalletConnect at work. Your private key will not leave your device, and the dApp only gains temporary signature permissions.
Today, it has become the interaction standard for 48 million monthly active wallets and over 6000 dApps, safeguarding over 300 million value transfers cumulatively. From the initial scanning bridge to the current cross-chain "nervous system", the V2 protocol now supports over 150 public chains, with reconnection taking only 5 seconds, and allowing fine control over asset access permissions.
Whether in bull or bear markets, the essential need for on-chain interaction will not disappear. WalletConnect is no longer just a "tool", but the infrastructure of Web3.
