WalletConnect
What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that allows users to connect cryptocurrency wallets (such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet) to decentralized applications (DApps) in a secure and easy way, without the need to enter secret phrases or passwords.
How does WalletConnect work?
When you enter a decentralized application (such as a trading platform or blockchain game), you will see the option "Connect Wallet". When selecting WalletConnect:
1. The application generates a QR code.
2. You scan it using the wallet app on your phone.
3. After scanning, an encrypted connection is established between the wallet and the application.
4. You can execute transactions from your phone, and the application will carry them out after your approval.
Advantages of WalletConnect
✅ High security: Your private keys are not shared with any site.
✅ Ease of use: Scanning a QR code is enough to connect.
✅ Wide support: Supported by many wallets and platforms like Uniswap and OpenSea.
✅ Cross-device operation: You can interact with applications from the computer while controlling from your phone.
