WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that facilitates secure communication between decentralized applications (dApps) and wallets such as Levain.
It enables users to interact with dApps on their preferred browsers, while keeping their private keys securely stored on their personal devices. This enhances security by allowing users to approve transactions on their Levain wallets, maintaining control over their private keys without exposing them to potential risks associated with the browser.
Here's how you can use Levain and WalletConnect to connect to DeFi (Decentralized Finance) protocols. For this example, we will be using popular DeFi protocol Uniswap:
Open the DeFi protocol or dApp – such as Uniswap – you want to use on your desktop browser.
Look for the WalletConnect option within the dApp interface. This is usually found in the settings or connection section. Select WalletConnect as your connection method.
Copy the address on WalletConnect and go back to your Levain wallet and paste the address in the field under WalletConnect.
Once the address has been input, Levain will prompt you to confirm the connection.
After the connection is established, you can now interact with the DeFi protocol through your browser. Your Levain wallet will handle transaction approvals and other relevant authorizations securely.
Apart from connecting to dApps via Levain, here are some of the key things you can do with WalletConnect:
WalletConnect supports a broad range of use cases within the DeFi ecosystem and the broader blockchain space. If you’re an asset manager, treasury manager or anyone looking to invest into DeFi, WalletConnect provides a more secure and user-friendly experience for anyone interacting with DeFi protocols via Levain. It also ensures that your private keys remain on your device, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or compromise. Additionally, it offers a seamless and convenient way to manage your DeFi assets across different platforms.
