WalletConnect started in 2018 as an open standard and network for establishing secure connections between decentralized applications and wallets. After several years of development, the project has expanded from a single QR code scanning protocol to an ecosystem integrating hundreds of wallets and applications, allowing users to perform various operations such as message signing, transactions, and logins through a single connection. In September 2024, the project team announced that WalletConnect Inc. would be renamed Reown to highlight its goal of building a complete user experience layer (AppKit and WalletKit) for Web3. Reown remains a core contributor to the open-source WalletConnectNetwork, responsible for developing the SDK and introducing community governance and incentive mechanisms to the network.
