Last updated
WalletConnect serves as a decentralized bridge between DApps and wallets, enabling seamless and secure communication without compromising user security. It operates on a peer-to-peer connection model, leveraging end-to-end encryption to protect sensitive data.
How WalletConnect Works
Initiating Connection: When a user wishes to interact with a DApp, the DApp generates a unique QR code containing a session request.
Scanning QR Code: The user scans the QR code using their wallet app, initiating a secure connection between the wallet and the DApp.
Authorization: The user reviews the transaction details and authorizes the action within their wallet app.
Transaction Execution: Once authorized, the wallet signs the transaction and sends it to the DApp, which then executes it on the blockchain.
Key Components of WalletConnect
QR Code: Serves as a communication channel between the DApp and the wallet, containing encrypted session details.
Session: Represents the established connection between the wallet and the DApp, allowing for secure data transmission.
Bridge Server: Facilitates the initial handshake and relays encrypted messages between the DApp and the wallet.
Integrating WalletConnect into DApps and wallets is straightforward, thanks to its open-source nature and developer-friendly documentation.
Integration Steps
SDK Integration: Developers can integrate the WalletConnect SDK into their DApps to enable seamless connectivity with supported wallets.
Wallet Support: Wallet developers can implement WalletConnect support within their applications, allowing users to connect with DApps.
User Interaction: Users initiate the connection by scanning the QR code generated by the DApp, granting permission to interact with their wallet.
