What is WalletConnect? The bridge that connects the Web3 world

The WalletConnect protocol is a vital infrastructure in the Web3 system, acting as a secure and open-source bridge that connects cryptocurrency wallets to decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2018, it has since become an industry standard for enabling seamless and secure interactions between users and blockchain applications across multiple blockchains. This protocol allows users to connect to applications without needing to share their private keys, significantly enhancing security and privacy.

WalletConnect is distinguished by its ability to provide end-to-end encrypted connections using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, ensuring that all data exchanged between the wallet and the application remains private and protected. The protocol supports hundreds of digital wallets and thousands of decentralized applications across more than 150 different blockchain networks, making it a versatile and interoperable solution.

As WalletConnect# moves towards a community-managed decentralized network, it enhances its resilience against censorship and sets new standards for on-chain user experience (onchain UX). Through the "WalletConnect Certified" program, the protocol ensures that integrated wallets meet high standards of security and usability, contributing to the development of a reliable and efficient ecosystem.
