In the Web3 ecosystem, there is a little-known yet crucial protocol quietly supporting the interoperability of the entire industry: WalletConnect. This protocol is like the 'Bluetooth' of the Web3 world, enabling seamless connections between different Wallets and DApps.



Although WalletConnect does not have a prominent icon or a flashy interface, its influence cannot be underestimated. Currently, it supports over 600 wallets, 65,000 applications, serves 47.5 million users, and has achieved a total of 300 million connections. Its core function lies in enabling 'automatic pairing' between Web3 devices while protecting user privacy.

Looking back at the Web3 user experience before 2018, it is not difficult to find the convenience brought by WalletConnect. At that time, users needed to manually copy wallet addresses when transferring on DApps, and a small input error could lead to asset loss. Changing wallets was even more cumbersome, just like needing to reconnect all Bluetooth devices after changing phones, users had to rebind the new wallet in each DApp. The complexity of cross-chain operations was even more daunting, as authorizations signed in Ethereum DApps were completely non-transferable on other chains.

The emergence of WalletConnect has completely changed the situation. Now, users can instantly connect to MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or even the hardware wallet Ledger with just a click of the 'Connect Wallet' button. Even more astonishing is that transactions signed on Ethereum can be directly operated with the same wallet in the Solana NFT marketplace, greatly enhancing cross-chain interoperability.

This seamless connection not only enhances the user experience but also paves the way for the mass adoption of Web3. WalletConnect acts like an invisible bridge, connecting different parts of the Web3 ecosystem, making the entire system more efficient, secure, and user-friendly.

With the continuous development of Web3 technology, underlying protocols like WalletConnect will continue to play an important role behind the scenes, driving the entire industry forward. Its existence brings us one step closer to a truly seamless, secure, and convenient Web3 world.
