WalletConnect DeFi Guide: Connect Your Wallet to dApps Safely

What WalletConnect does

WalletConnect bridges your mobile wallet and desktop dApps via an encrypted relay. You scan or paste a wc: URI, approve the session, and sign transactions on your phone — keys never leave your device.

Safe connection habits

Verify the dApp domain in the approval prompt. Reject unknown sessions. Disconnect stale connections in Metrust's Connect tab. Use testnet first when trying new protocols.

Setting up Metrust for DeFi

Add your free Reown (WalletConnect) Project ID, open the Connect tab, paste the URI from Uniswap or your favorite aggregator, and approve. EVM signing works across all supported networks.
