WalletConnect is a revolutionary open-source protocol launched in 2018 by Pedro Gomes, aimed at securely and smoothly connecting cryptocurrency wallets (such as Trust Wallet and MetaMask) to Web3 applications (dApps).

🔑 How does WalletConnect work?
When selecting WalletConnect in a dApp, a QR code or deep link appears. The user scans the code using their wallet on their phone or clicks the link.
An encrypted session is created using TLS protocols and end-to-end encryption (E2EE), without the private keys leaving the user's device.
Requests (signatures, transactions, swaps...) are sent through the session, and the user is prompted to approve within the wallet.
