WalletConnect (WCT) is a communication protocol that allows decentralized applications (dApps) to securely connect with crypto wallets (like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.) using QR code scanning or deep linking.
Key Points:
Purpose: Securely connects your wallet to dApps without revealing your private key.
How it works: You scan a QR code (or click a deep link) to establish an encrypted session between the wallet and the dApp.
Use Case: Used in DeFi apps, NFT platforms, and Web3 projects to sign transactions directly from your wallet.
Supported Wallets: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, etc.
Secure: Your private keys never leave the wallet – only transaction approvals are shared.
