What this concept is
This page explains WalletConnect at a basic, narrative level. It describes the name as a connection protocol commonly used to link wallet apps with websites and applications.
The goal is to clarify what the term refers to when it appears in crypto-related interfaces.
How it is commonly described
WalletConnect is commonly described as a way to approve a connection request between a wallet and a site, often using a QR code or a handoff between apps. Explanations typically emphasize that the wallet remains the place where approvals happen.
The name is often shown as a button label or as a compatibility note across multiple wallets.
What varies by platform
What varies includes the exact flow: QR scanning, deep links, supported wallet apps, supported networks, and what permissions are requested. Different applications may request different types of access.
The same protocol name can also refer to different versions and implementations over time.
