WalletConnect is a protocol that allows you to connect decentralized applications (dApps) to mobile wallets using QR code scanning or deep linking. Here's how you can use WalletConnect:
Using WalletConnect:
Choose a dApp:
Open the dApp you want to connect to on your desktop or mobile browser.
Find the WalletConnect Option:
On the dApp, look for the option to connect a wallet. It might be labeled as "Connect Wallet," "Connect," or similar.
Select "WalletConnect" from the list of available wallet options.
Scan the QR Code:
If you're using a desktop browser, a QR code will appear. Open your mobile wallet app (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.) that supports WalletConnect.
In the wallet app, look for the WalletConnect option and use it to scan the QR code displayed on the dApp.
OR
Deep Link:
If you're on a mobile device, clicking on the WalletConnect option in the dApp may open your wallet app directly without needing to scan a QR code.
Approve the Connection:
In your wallet app, you'll see a prompt to approve the connection to the dApp. Review the details and confirm the connection.
Interact with the dApp:
Once connected, you can interact with the dApp using your wallet. Approve transactions and actions as needed directly from your wallet app.
Example with MetaMask:
Open the dApp:
Visit the dApp's website on your desktop or mobile browser.
Connect Wallet:
Select "Connect Wallet" on the dApp, then choose "WalletConnect."
Open MetaMask Mobile App:
Open MetaMask on your mobile device.
Tap on the three lines (menu) in the upper left corner.
Tap "WalletConnect" and scan the QR code on your desktop screen.
Approve Connection:
Confirm the connection in the MetaMask app.
Interact with dApp:
You are now connected and can interact with the dApp. Approve transactions in your MetaMask app as needed.
By following these steps, you can securely connect to dApps using WalletConnect and manage your transactions through your preferred mobile wallet.
