In the world of Web3, there is a silent yet indispensable behind-the-scenes hero—WalletConnect. Though it is not often mentioned, it has quietly resolved many pain points for users, significantly enhancing the Web3 experience. Let's take a look at the five major changes brought by WalletConnect.

First of all, WalletConnect has completely solved the dependency problem on browser plugins. In the past, using decentralized applications (dApps) required installing specific browser plugins, which was especially inconvenient on mobile devices. Now, with WalletConnect's QR code and deep link technology, users only need to scan the code on their computer screen with their mobile phone to confirm transactions on the mobile side while seeing real-time results on the computer. This innovation has enabled 70% of current mobile Web3 interactions to be completed through WalletConnect.

Secondly, WalletConnect makes cross-chain operations exceptionally simple. Suppose you hold assets on different blockchains, such as ETH on Ethereum and AVAX on Avalanche, and you want to use them for DeFi strategies. Previously, this required cumbersome cross-chain transfer operations. Now, WalletConnect can automatically recognize multi-chain assets in the wallet, allowing dApps to call them directly, saving users a significant amount of time and transaction fees.

Thirdly, WalletConnect provides a more secure dApp connection experience. Its encrypted session feature verifies the dApp's domain name and chain information, and alerts users promptly if any anomalies are detected. More importantly, the user's private keys are always stored locally, ensuring that assets are not leaked even when connected to malicious dApps, greatly enhancing users' sense of security.

Fourth, WalletConnect simplifies the wallet switching process. When users switch from one wallet to another, WalletConnect automatically migrates the previous session records, allowing users to continue using the connected dApp without needing to reauthorize, providing an experience comparable to mobile app data migration.

Finally, WalletConnect empowers users to participate in ecological governance through its native token WCT. Users holding WCT can vote on important decisions regarding the protocol, such as whether to support new blockchains and how to optimize Gas fees, ensuring that the development direction of the protocol aligns with user needs. This community-led model is a core feature that distinguishes Web3 from Web2.

From convenient dApp connections to seamless cross-chain transactions, and to the participation rights in ecosystem governance, WalletConnect is driving Web3 to become more user-friendly through technological innovation. It is like an excellent infrastructure, understated yet indispensable, and its importance can only be truly appreciated when in use.
