【WalletConnect Beginner Series · Article One: Starting from 'Connection', Understanding this Web3 Infrastructure】
When using a crypto wallet, there is always a problem: switching between different DApps, do you have to copy addresses and manually authorize every time? In fact, there is a simpler way — through the connection protocol built by @walletconnect, wallets and DApps can securely communicate with one click, which is the core value of WalletConnect.
As a decentralized cross-chain connection protocol, WalletConnect addresses the 'trust layer' issue: it does not store private keys, but serves as a relay for encrypted information, allowing you to use applications like DeFi and NFT markets without repeatedly exposing wallet information. Currently, over 500 wallets and 10,000+ DApps worldwide have integrated into this ecosystem, seamlessly connecting on both mobile and web platforms, making it a 'universal data cable' in the Web3 world.
And WCT, as the native token of the ecosystem, is the 'fuel' and 'governance credential' of this connection network. Future series will gradually break down its specific functions; just remember one point: protocol upgrades and ecosystem incentives are closely related to WCT.
Next, we will discuss everything from technical principles to ecological cases, from beginner operations to advanced gameplay. Stay tuned and let's deeply understand WalletConnect together～
