What is WalletConnect? The 'Connection Master' of Blockchain
In simple terms, WalletConnect is a 'bridge' that connects your crypto wallet (like MetaMask, Trust Wallet) with various dApps. It was born in 2018, at a time when the Web3 ecosystem was just starting. Connecting wallets and dApps was a significant challenge — different platforms were incompatible, connection methods were varied, and user experience was very poor.
When WalletConnect came into play, it solved this pain point! Through deep linking and encrypted QR codes, it allows users to simply scan and connect their wallets to dApps. Imagine going to a new store, without needing to carry a bunch of keys, just pulling out your phone to scan a code, and the door opens automatically — that’s the magic of WalletConnect!
