What is WalletConnect? How to use WalletConnect with Dapps

WalletConnect is a helpful tool to connect with DApps, especially when users are unable to use computers or laptops on the move. It can help save time and effort, while maintaining high security in the long run.

What is WalletConnect?

WalletConnect is an open source protocol, allowing wallets to connect and interact with DApps and other wallets using mobile devices or computers.

Creating a secure and trustworthy connection with a DApp will be much easier with WalletConnect. It is also capable of sending and receiving notifications regarding transactions.

Some notes for using WalletConnect

Using WalletConnect is relatively safe. The connection between the wallet and the DApp is encrypted, and no one can access the private keys.

WalletConnect establishes a secure (encrypted) connection to DApps with investors’ consent. It also asks for approval before making transactions, and never grants DApps access to private keys. In other words, with WalletConnect, the funds in users’ wallets cannot be spent without their approval.

The security issues when using WalletConnect are external, for example, accessing a fake application through a fake URL made by hackers. Therefore, to limit the risks of losing assets, investors must ensure they are using the genuine DApp, accessing the correct URL.

In addition, it is advised to disconnect with DApps when all transactions are finished. Users should always check the authenticity of DApps and their URL.

Finally, restart the application and refresh the browser to improve security when connecting to DApps.

Conclusion

WalletConnect is a popular tool in decentralized finance. It takes only a few minutes to learn, but brings major convenience by allowing access to a variety of services. With crypto wallets becoming more and more portable, WalletConnect is a useful tool for accessing DApps on the go.
