WalletConnect was born in the context of early Web3 connection methods being insecure, poorly experienced, and especially lacking in mobile and cross-device connections. Its core mission is to provide an open, secure, user-friendly protocol standard that allows users' wallets (especially mobile wallets) to interact securely with various dApps (especially those running in browsers) without exposing private keys. It successfully addresses this critical pain point through an innovative mechanism based on URI/QR code scanning and end-to-end encrypted relaying, becoming an indispensable 'connection layer' in Web3 infrastructure, greatly promoting the popularity of decentralized applications and enhancing user experience. Its evolution from v1 to v2 also reflects a continued response to new demands such as multi-chain and complex interactions. #walletconnext @WalletConnect $WCT
