Not every wallet is 'all-powerful', but thanks to Grandpa WalletConnect, a bunch of web3 applications can connect smoothly with your wallet without risking your private key.
⛓️ Operation mechanism – simple yet effective:
WalletConnect is not an app, not a wallet, and not a blockchain. It is the 'intermediary keeping things discreet' – allowing your wallet to communicate with DApp without exposing sensitive information.
How does it work?
📲 Scan QR or click the link → create a private, encrypted connection session → you approve or decline the command on the wallet.
✅ You still control your private key
✅ DApp can only 'nod' when you allow it
✅ Every transaction is as safe as a vault
🧱 The brains behind WalletConnect consists of 3 parts:
1. Node network: Communicating between wallet ↔ DApp. Decentralized, no one is in control.
2. SDK: Developers just need to plug the SDK into the app to automatically have the connect function.
3. Communication standards: Communication with rules → no chaos. Wallet A can still talk to DApp B.
💡 Major advantage:
• Supports multiple networks: Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, even Bitcoin.
• Compatible with hardware wallets, software wallets, wallets in the cloud, and wallets on the ground – as long as it integrates WalletConnect.
⚠️ In summary:
WalletConnect is the 'wireless connection protocol of the Web3 world' – if you're going to do it, do it cleanly, securely, and without disturbing others.
