WalletConnect isn't just a protocol; it's the cornerstone of the New Internet, where ownership, utility, and usability converge to redefine the digital landscape. We believe that the next phase of the internet is characterized by ownership, control, choice, and composability. Through our builder product suite - AppKit and WalletKit - we enable interoperability between 6,000+ apps and 500+ wallets, powering over 10 million connections every single month.
