Many crypto wallets use a protocol called WalletConnect that facilities easy connection with DApps.
To use it, all you have to do is find the DApp you wish to interact with, connect using a QR code or deep-link, and you’re good to go. Just remember to disconnect after every session to ensure maximum security.
Let us further understand how WalletConnect works and how you can use it with mesha.
To begin with, you should know that for successfully interacting with a DApp, you need to connect your wallet and permit the DApp to make signed transactions. One way of doing that is through WalletConnect.
What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol. It allows your wallet to connect and interact with other wallets and DApps. The protocol establishes an encrypted connection between your wallet and the DApp by scanning a QR code or clicking a deep link.
The push notification in the protocol can notify users of incoming transactions. WalletConnect is available on Android and iOS wallets like TrustWallet and MetaMask.
How to use WalletConnect with mesha?
You can connect to other DApps on mesha via WalletConnect, but the method is different for both mobile and desktop browsers. However, neither of them takes much time.
And if you ever face issues during the connecting process, make sure to go back to the beginning and try all the steps again.
Note:
If you have been wondering whether mesha wallets are compatible with WalletConnect, then the answer is yes. All mesha wallets are compatible with WalletConnect, but only after executing the WalletConnect proposal. Also, you cannot close WalletConnect while trying to approve a transaction or while waiting for it to get approved. It may cause the transaction to fail.
Let us now look at the steps to connect to a DApp like Uniswap on mesha, using WalletConnect –
Step 01
In the Uniswap app, head to the Swap section and click on ‘connect to a wallet’. It will show various options like MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Fortmatic and Portis. Click on WalletConnect.
Step 02
A QR code will show up. Click on ‘copy to clipboard’ and go to your mesha dashboard.
Step 03
Click on ‘Wallet Connect’ and paste the WalletConnect QR code.
Step 04
Once you have done that, click on Connect. Uniswap will now be connected and be visible on your ‘Connected DApps’ list.
How to stay safe with WalletConnect?
Make sure you have disconnected your wallet from any DApp when you’re finished. Another thing you should always ensure is that you’re connected to a trusted DApp and have accessed it with the correct URL. Another way to improve your security when connected to a DApp is by restarting and refreshing your browser.
Takeaway
WalletConnect is famous throughout the DeFi DApp world as it takes only a few minutes to learn how to use but gives you access to a variety of different services. Given how crypto wallets are becoming more mobile, WalletConnect is a powerful tool for accessing any DApp on the go.
