How can developers avoid 90% of the detours? How WalletConnect solves the big challenge of cross-chain adaptation in Web3!
Before WalletConnect appeared, it was almost like 'going through tribulations' for Web3 developers to create cross-chain DApps. For example, in 2021, a team wanted to build an NFT trading platform that spanned Ethereum and Solana, and it took them three months just to adapt the wallets: on the Ethereum side, they had to write integration code for MetaMask and Trust Wallet, and on the Solana side, they had to adapt the SDKs for Phantom and Solflare. The logic of the two sets of code was completely different, and modifying a small feature (like optimizing connection speed) required changes in both chains' code, leading to extremely high maintenance costs later on.
But now, with WalletConnect's SDK, developers only need to integrate one set of code to be compatible with over 700 wallets and more than 150 public chains.
For instance, the cross-chain DeFi platform Radiant Capital, launched last year, achieved 'one interface to operate Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche assets' thanks to WalletConnect, reducing the development cycle by 40% compared to similar projects, and there is no need to maintain a dedicated team for adapting new wallets later on. This is also why now, among 65,000 DApps, over 70% choose to use WalletConnect for their connection layer; after all, no one wants to waste time on the basic work of 'adapting wallets'.
