From 'Connecting Tool' to 'Web3 Hub'? WalletConnect's Next Steps May Change the Entire Ecosystem
When WalletConnect is mentioned, many people still think of it as just a 'tool for connecting wallets and DApps,' but in fact, it has already begun its transformation into a 'Web3 hub.' The recently launched 'WalletGuide' and smart contract monitoring features are good signals of this.
Let's first talk about 'WalletGuide.' For newcomers to Web3, choosing a wallet is the first challenge - there are dozens of wallets available on the market, some only support single chains, and some have low security ratings, making it easy for beginners to fall into pitfalls. 'WalletGuide' will recommend suitable wallets based on user needs. For example, if you want to play with projects on the Solana chain, it will suggest wallets like Phantom and Solflare, which have good compatibility; if you value security more, it will prioritize recommending types that support hardware wallet connections. Moreover, it will educate users on wallet usage precautions, such as 'do not share your private key with others' and 'regularly back up your recovery phrase,' helping newcomers avoid basic risks. This effectively provides assistance to users at the very first step of entering the Web3 ecosystem, making it not just a 'connecting tool,' but more like a 'Web3 guide for beginners.'
