#WallectConnect $WCT @WalletConnect WalletConnect is an open-source, decentralized communication protocol used to establish secure connections between blockchain wallets (such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet) and decentralized applications (DApps) (such as Uniswap, OpenSea), allowing users to interact with DApps through their wallets without the need to install extensions directly in the browser.
1. Core Concepts of WalletConnect
(1) Problems Solved
Traditional DApp interaction relies on browser extensions (such as MetaMask), but not all users are willing to install extensions, especially on mobile devices.
The DApp experience on mobile is poor because most DApps are primarily optimized for desktop browsers.
Security issues: Directly connecting wallets on web pages may pose phishing risks.
The goals of WalletConnect are:
- To allow users to connect their wallets to DApps securely without installing browser extensions.
- To support seamless interaction on both mobile and desktop.
- To provide end-to-end encryption to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
