What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is a tool that enables secure connections between decentralized applications (dApps) and mobile wallets.
With WalletConnect, you can interact with dApps on your computer or mobile browser using your Bifrost Wallet. This connection is established through scanning a QR code or using a deep link, creating an encrypted session between the dApp and your wallet.
WalletConnect is a widely adopted standard and is supported by many dApps and wallets across the ecosystem.
