WalletConnect's Origins and Adoption
Pedro Gomez, the founder of WalletConnect, discusses the origins of WalletConnect and the need for a solution to remotely connect wallets to DApps. In the early days of Ethereum, Metamask was the dominant wallet option, leading to a lack of wallet diversity. WalletConnect aimed to change that by allowing users to connect any wallet to any DApp remotely. This breakthrough led to the adoption of WalletConnect by major wallets such as Trust Wallet, Cipher Wallet, and Safe Wallet, making it an essential tool for the growing DeFi ecosystem.
