#walletconnect Smooth Transition from Web2 to Web3: How WalletConnect Plays the Role of a 'Guide'?

For new users accustomed to the seamless experience of Web2, the world of Web3 is filled with steep learning curves and confusing friction points. Downloading a wallet, backing up mnemonic phrases, understanding gas fees, switching networks… each step could deter a curious explorer. Making it smooth, seamless, and secure for billions of Web2 users to enter Web3 is one of the biggest challenges facing the industry.

WalletConnect plays a crucial 'guiding' role in this process. It does not change the underlying complexity of blockchain but instead provides a clever 'translation' and 'bridge' at the user experience level, greatly lowering the cognitive threshold and operational difficulty.

Simplifying the connection process: For new users, the action of 'connecting a wallet' is itself quite abstract. WalletConnect materializes it into a simple 'scan' action. This action has already been widely educated and accepted in the Web2 world (WeChat scan payment, shared bike unlocking), and users feel no unfamiliarity with it. There is no need to understand the public key encryption principles behind it; just a scan, and the connection is complete—it's a magical experience.

Unified interaction interface: No matter what DApp users are using, whether playing blockchain games, trading NFTs, or participating in DeFi, their most familiar operating environment is their wallet application. WalletConnect unifies all DApp transaction confirmation processes within the user’s wallet interface. Users do not need to learn and adapt to the different confirmation pop-ups of each DApp (which may hide phishing risks); they only need to trust and become familiar with the presentation of their wallet, greatly enhancing their sense of security and operational consistency.

Hiding cross-chain complexity: When a DApp requires users to switch from the Ethereum mainnet to the Polygon network, traditional operations require users to manually add networks and switch nodes in their wallets, which is cumbersome. Advanced wallets integrated with @WalletConnect can prompt users to 'switch networks with one click' through interactions with the DApp, or even automatically complete configurations, completely hiding complex backend technical details. $WCT
