What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that makes it easy for cryptocurrency wallets to connect to decentralized applications. Instead of relying on browser extensions or copying and pasting wallet addresses, WalletConnect allows you to link your wallet to a decentralized application by scanning a QR code or a deep link. WalletConnect works across multiple blockchain networks and aims to make Web 3 more accessible and secure for users.
The protocol was originally created to address fragmented and weak interactions between decentralized applications and wallets, and WalletConnect has evolved into a protocol and network that supports millions of users and thousands of applications.
