What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that links your crypto wallet with decentralized apps (dApps) like DeFi platforms, NFT markets, and blockchain games. It does this through secure QR codes or deep links, without ever exposing your private keys.
Launched in 2018, WalletConnect is now integrated with hundreds of wallets and thousands of dApps, making it one of the most trusted standards in Web3.
Why Use WalletConnect?
🔒 Security First – Your private keys never leave your wallet.
🔑 Full Control – Every transaction must be approved by you.
🌍 Interoperability – Works with 500+ wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Cwallet, etc.).
💡 Convenience – Scan a QR code on your computer and confirm on your phone.
🚀 Access to Web3 – Use DeFi apps, NFT platforms, and blockchain games safely.
How It Works
Visit a dApp and click “Connect Wallet.”
Choose WalletConnect from the options.
A QR code (or deep link) appears.
Open your wallet app → select WalletConnect → scan/approve.
Confirm transactions directly in your wallet.
Disconnect anytime for extra security.
Example: Using WalletConnect with Cwallet
Cwallet is a multi-functional wallet that supports both custodial and non-custodial accounts. With WalletConnect inside Cwallet, you can:
