From 'Connecting Tool' to 'Web3 Hub'? WalletConnect's Next Steps May Change the Entire Ecosystem
Now when WalletConnect is mentioned, many people still think it is just a 'tool for connecting wallets and DApps', but in fact, it has already begun to transform into a 'Web3 hub'. The recently launched 'WalletGuide' and smart contract monitoring features are good signals of this.
Let's talk about 'WalletGuide'. For newcomers to Web3, choosing a wallet is the first challenge—there are dozens of wallets on the market, some only support single chains, and some have low security, making it easy for beginners to fall into pitfalls. 'WalletGuide' will recommend suitable wallets based on users' needs. For instance, if you want to participate in Solana chain projects, it will recommend wallets like Phantom and Solflare, which have good compatibility; if you prioritize security, it will prioritize recommending types that support hardware wallet connections. Moreover, it will also educate users on wallet usage precautions, such as 'do not share your private key with others' and 'regularly back up your mnemonic phrase', helping newcomers avoid basic risks. This provides assistance right at the first step of entering the Web3 ecosystem, making it more than just a 'connecting tool', but rather a 'Web3 entry guide'.
