WalletConnect is a widely adopted open-source protocol that enables secure and convenient communication between decentralized applications (DApps) and wallets. With v2, users can easily connect their wallets to various DApps and interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, NFT marketplaces, and other blockchain-based applications.

The addition of WalletConnect v2 to AirGap Optimism is part of our deliverable for the grant we got from the Optimism Foundation. While the addition of our Ethereum Wallet is because WalletConnect v1 was deprecated and a direct response to the feedback and demands of our dedicated community. We have listened to your suggestions and are constantly striving to provide the best user experience and comprehensive features. This integration will empower our users with greater accessibility, allowing them to seamlessly connect to a wide range of DApps within the Optimism & Ethereum ecosystem.

By leveraging WalletConnect’s secure and decentralized architecture, AirGap Optimism & Ethereum Wallet users can enjoy the following benefits:

  1. Simplified Interaction: WalletConnect eliminates the need for cumbersome manual key imports and provides an intuitive and user-friendly way to connect your wallet to various DApps.
  2. Enhanced Security: Your private keys remain securely stored within the AirGap Vault, ensuring maximum protection against potential threats or vulnerabilities.
  3. Interoperability: WalletConnect enables cross-platform compatibility, allowing you to connect your AirGap Optimism & Ethereum Wallet to both desktop and mobile DApps with ease.
  4. Seamless Experience: Experience a smooth and uninterrupted flow of transactions between your AirGap Optimism & Ethereum Wallet and supported DApps, enhancing the overall user experience.
