WalletConnect™ The Official @Home Site
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that allows secure connections between decentralized applications (dApps) and mobile wallets. It enables users to interact securely with dApps from their mobile wallets without compromising their private keys. WalletConnect establishes a secure connection using end-to-end encryption, ensuring that user data remains private and secure.
How does WalletConnect work?
WalletConnect uses a combination of QR code scanning and web sockets to establish a connection between a dApp and a mobile wallet. Here's how it typically works:
Initiating the Connection: The dApp generates a QR code containing a session request. The user scans this QR code using their mobile wallet app.
Approving the Connection: Once scanned, the wallet app prompts the user to approve the connection request. Upon approval, the wallet securely shares the user's public address with the dApp.
Secure Communication: After the connection is established, the dApp and wallet communicate directly through an encrypted channel. This allows users to interact with the dApp using their wallet while keeping their private keys offline.
Benefits of WalletConnect
Security: WalletConnect ensures that private keys are never exposed to the internet, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Convenience: Users can interact with dApps directly from their mobile wallets, enhancing usability and accessibility.
Compatibility: WalletConnect supports a wide range of wallets and dApps, making it a versatile solution for decentralized finance (DeFi) and other blockchain applications.
