Have you ever thought that when you complete a flash trade on Uniswap, mint a hot NFT on OpenSea, or claim equipment in a chain game, different wallets and DApps belong to different blockchain ecosystems? How can they instantly complete secure connections? The answer lies in Walle's 'invisible infrastructure'. This open-source protocol, born in 2018, now supports 47.5 million users and over 65,000 DApps, completing more than 300 million on-chain interactions. With its full-chain compatibility, end-to-end encryption, and ecological governance, it has become the irreplaceable 'connection core' in the Web3 world.
In the early development of Web3, 'connection' was a 'roadblock' that deterred countless users. At that time, Ethereum wallets could only connect to the Ethereum ecosystem, and Solana wallets were incompatible with BSC applications. Users wanting to experience multi-chain services had to install four or five wallets on their phones. Not only did they have to manage multiple private keys, but a moment's inattention while manually copying wallet addresses could result in a single character mistake that would cause their assets to 'sink into the sea'. For developers, adapting to different wallets was a 'nightmare'—connecting one wallet required debugging APIs and adapting functions, and connecting 10 wallets meant repeating the same work 10 times, extending the development cycle by several months and severely dispersing their focus. This 'fragmentation' predicament has kept Web3 trapped in a 'niche circle', making it difficult to reach the masses.
In 2018, Walle@undefined emerged and broke this deadlock. As an open-source protocol, its core innovation is the proposal of a 'standardized connection protocol', similar to the HTTP protocol in the internet, which does not focus on specific application content but only defines the 'communication rules' between wallets and DApps. Whether it is leading wallets like MetaMask and Trust Wallet, or popular DApps like Uniswap and Blur, as long as they follow the Walle@undefined specification for integration, they can achieve 'one integration, full ecosystem interconnectivity'. For developers, what used to take 3 months to connect to 10 wallets can now be completed in just 1 week, reducing adaptation costs by 90%; for users, one wallet can connect to 65,000+ DApps, truly realizing 'one chain in hand, full chain access'.
End-to-end encryption is Walle@undefined 's trusted 'key strength'. In Web3, the private key is the 'lifeline' of user assets, and any connection vulnerability could lead to disastrous consequences. Walle@undefined employs a 'zero storage + peer-to-peer encryption' architecture: every time a connection is made, the system generates a pair of temporary public-private keys, with the wallet holding the private key and the DApp obtaining the public key. All transaction authorizations and message signing data are encrypted using the public key and transmitted directly, without passing through Walle@undefined 's servers and without storing any sensitive information. Third-party security agencies have simulated 'man-in-the-middle attacks', and the results showed that the intercepted data was only garbled text, unable to decipher the core information. After six years of operation, Walle@undefined has never experienced asset loss due to protocol vulnerabilities, and this 'zero security incident' record has allowed 47.5 million users to trust it.
The interoperability of the entire chain allows Walle@undefined 's 'connection map' to continue expanding. It abandons the limitations of traditional tools that are 'single-chain bound' and, through flexible protocol design, has become compatible with 20+ mainstream blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Polygon, and Avalanche. Users can connect to Solana chain DApps using MetaMask (Ethereum wallet) and can access BSC DeFi platforms with Phantom (Solana wallet); a certain NFT platform integrating Walle@undefined has expanded user coverage from 1 chain to 5 chains, doubling monthly active users. This 'cross-chain freedom' not only enhances user experience but also allows DApps to break through the user boundaries of a single chain, achieving 'one chain development, multi-chain reach'.
As the scale of the ecosystem expands, Walle@undefined completes the leap 'from tool to ecosystem' through the WCT token. Deployed on Optimism and Solana, WCT serves as both a 'governance credential' and an 'ecosystem catalyst'. WCT holders can initiate proposals for protocol upgrades (such as adding support for Aptos and Sui chains) and vote on the allocation of the ecosystem fund; staking WCT also provides rewards and priority access to new features. The V2 version launched in 2023 was determined through community voting on the upgrade direction, ultimately achieving a 30% increase in connection speed and breakthroughs in supporting complex on-chain operations. As of May 2024, over 200 wallet teams and 5,000+ DApp developers are participating in staking, forming an ecosystem closed loop of 'co-construction and sharing'.
Today, Walle@undefined 's 'connection network' has penetrated every corner of Web3: over 1 million users complete operations through it daily, over 500 new DApps apply for access, and 20+ new public chains actively adapt. In the first quarter of 2024, its average monthly connection count exceeded 30 million, a 50% year-on-year increase, a testament to the market's recognition of it.
For the Web3 industry, Walle@undefined 's value lies not only in solving the 'connection' pain points but also in lowering the entry barrier through standardization and security, promoting ecosystem collaboration. It proves that true infrastructure is not 'isolated strength', but 'connected prosperity' — only by enabling seamless cooperation among different chains, applications, and users can Web3 move towards popularization.
In summary, Walle@undefined is no longer just a simple 'connection tool', but a 'secure channel' on-chain for 47.5 million users, serving as the 'core link' for interconnectivity in the Web3 ecosystem. Understanding it is to understand the core logic of collaborative development in Web3 — its existence brings Web3 one step closer to the goal of being 'universally available'.
