Getting Started

What is WalletConnect?​

WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that allows you to connect your mobile wallet to different decentralized applications and other wallets. Historically this has been done through a QR code, which establishes a secure end-to-end encrypted connection between the two devices. This allows you to interact with dapps and sign transactions securely from your mobile wallet.
