What is WalletConnect

What is WalletConnect?

WalletConnect is a protocol that allows users to connect with different wallets to the dApps that have integrated it. It establishes a remote and encrypted connection between the wallet and the dApp. This happens through QR codes and deep linking.

👉 The Venly Wallet is now compatible with WalletConnect v2.0. You will be able to use it with dApps that support the same version. Check the steps below to learn how.

How to connect with a Venly Wallet through WalletConnect

Navigate to an app that supports WalletConnect v2.0
Click to connect to the app and select WalletConnect

A pop up like this one should appear. If you don’t see Venly as an option, click “View all” to search for it.



Select Venly

The Venly Wallet will open in a new tab.

If not already logged it, select your preferred login method
Click on the Session Proposal from the app you’re trying to connect to



→ Important! If it’s the first time you’re using Venly through WalletConnect, you’ll have to link wallets for the networks you want to connect to (the networks, on which the apps run).

To do that, you can click on the banner on the bottom:



Another way to do it is through the Settings:

- Click on the icon in the upper right corner
- Click “Manage wallets”

In case you don’t have a wallet for a specific network, you can create one through the Venly Wallet app. Once created, it will appear in the list with wallets available to link.

Click “Approve” on the Session Proposal

That’s it. You’re now connected and can go back to the app. 🚀

From now on, whenever the app requires a transaction or signature request to be approved, you will get a notification (if enabled through the browser settings). When you open the Venly WalletConnect app, you will see the request.



When you click it, the Venly Wallet pop up will appear, where you will be able to review the transaction/signature request details and confirm it.

Session Proposal details
