**WalletConnect: The Interoperability Bridge of the Web3 Ecosystem**
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol designed to solve the security communication issues between wallets and decentralized applications (DApps) in the blockchain ecosystem. It achieves seamless connection between user wallets and web or mobile DApps through an encrypted remote pairing mechanism (such as QR code scanning or deep linking), without the need to share private keys or sensitive information.
The core value of this protocol lies in its **cross-platform compatibility**, supporting mainstream wallets including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and covering multi-chain ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana. Its design adheres to the principle of 'user sovereignty', with all transaction authorizations completed on the user's local device, ensuring that asset control always belongs to the user.
The WalletConnect v2.0 launched in 2023 further optimizes multi-chain support and network efficiency, while introducing the governance token **$WCT**, promoting decentralized governance of the protocol. As a key component of Web3 infrastructure, WalletConnect lowers the barriers to user participation, becoming an important tool for connecting to the decentralized world. @WalletConnect
