How to use Wallet Connect? Wallet Connect is a protocol that many crypto wallets use to enable users to connect with DApps of decentralized finance.
Because we have to interact with DApps, we will need a wallet that is able to connect to DApps and give them permission to make signed transactions. Wallet Connect enables this to happen.
How to use Wallet Connect?
As mentioned, Wallet Connect is an open-source protocol that allows users to connect and interact with DApps and other wallets. Wallet Connect can be found in mobile wallets like Trust Wallet and MetaMask.
Below are the steps that you need to follow to use Wallet Connect:
1. Open up the DApp that you want to connect to. In the top right hand corner of most DApps, you should see a [Connect] button to click.
2. If you’re using a desktop browser to access the website, click the [Connect] button. You’ll now see a pop-up presenting different options for connecting your wallet. Click [WalletConnect] to display a QR code.
3. There will be a QR code to scan with the WalletConnect enabled mobile wallet
4. In Trust Wallet, head to [Settings] and then [WalletConnect]. This selection will bring up your camera for you to then scan the QR code.
5. A pop-up will appear in your wallet once you scan the QR code. Tap [Connect] to give the DApp permission to interact with your wallet. You’ll now be successfully connected and can disconnect if needed by tapping [Cancel] in the top left corner.
6. Click [Confirm Swap] button to confirm transactions while connected to WalletConnect
7. A pop-up will then appear asking you to confirm your transaction. Make sure the details of the transaction are correct before pressing the confirm button.
In Conclusion
On a final note, it is good practice to make sure you disconnect your wallet from a DApp when you’re finished. Also, it’s encouraged to check that the DApp you’re connecting to is trusted and that you have accessed it with the correct URL. Finally, restarting your app and refreshing your browser also will help improve your security when connecting to a DApp.
