Future-Oriented Session Layer

We divide the internet into layers such as the transport layer, network layer, application layer, etc. In comparison, the value layer of blockchain is the settlement layer, while WalletConnect is defining a new 'Session Layer.' This is a forward-looking creative concept that deals not only with one-time transactions but also with ongoing, stateful, context-rich long-term dialogues between users and dApps.

Future on-chain interactions go far beyond simple transfers. It could involve participating in a continuous on-chain game, managing a DeFi portfolio, or joining the governance of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). All of these require complex, multi-step sessions. The professional design of WalletConnect v2 and its subsequent versions has paved the way for this, supporting multi-chain namespaces, chain requests, and richer message types, providing a framework for these advanced use cases.

As we move towards the next phase of 'Web3 mass adoption,' the relevance of this session layer is crucial. It will be the cornerstone for achieving complex on-chain social interactions, gaming, and commerce. Imagine your wallet as a smart agent, interacting with the dApps you authorize through the WalletConnect protocol in complex, automated ways. This is no longer just a simple connection but empowers a vibrant and intelligent interaction network. WalletConnect, therefore, evolves from a connecting tool to the foundational protocol for building the next generation of internet interaction experiences. $WCT @WalletConnect #WalletConnect
