@walletconnectWalletConnect is an open-source protocol that allows users to connect their self-custody crypto wallets to decentralized applications (dApps) by scanning a QR code or using deep links. It acts as a secure communication bridge, enabling wallets and dApps to interact without exposing private keys. This means users can approve transactions directly from their mobile or hardware wallets, maintaining full control over their assets.
WalletConnect supports a vast array of blockchain networks and hundreds of wallets, making it a crucial component of the Web3 ecosystem. It enhances security by encrypting connections and streamlining the user experience across different devices and dApps. The project recently launched its native token, WCT, used for staking, governance, and incentivizing network participants.
The project's official account on X (formerly Twitter) is @WalletConnect.
