In the Web3 world, have you ever encountered a situation like this? You just connected with a new Decentralized Application (DApp), and the next day you mysteriously received so-called "Airdrop" tokens. Worse yet, your Wallet Address starts being targeted by certain on-chain advertisements, and some protocols even automatically send tokens carrying malicious programs to your address.



These seemingly 'beneficial' actions are actually the price you pay for connecting your Wallet on the blockchain without any defenses. Each time you connect your Wallet, you are actually exposing a large amount of sensitive information, including your full Address, historical interaction records, on-chain asset distribution, and even your level of activity, active time periods, and on-chain behavior preferences.

In the traditional Web2 environment, we have long been aware that cookies track user behavior. However, in the Web3 space, a simple Wallet connection is equivalent to exposing your data to the public eye.

In the face of this challenge, WalletConnect has emerged. It is not a wallet or exchange in the traditional sense, but a bridge connecting DApps and wallets. More importantly, WalletConnect is gradually evolving into a firewall for on-chain privacy connections.

WalletConnect has brought several key improvements:

1. Multi-device session control: Users can actively disconnect, no longer being unable to control once connected.
2. Decentralized connection: Connect by constructing a SessionID to avoid directly exposing the Address.
3. Security Authorization Panel: Clearly displays the permissions granted by users, enhancing transparency.
4. Unified Connection Management: Users can easily view the DApps they have previously connected to, avoiding "forgetting exposure".

These innovative features make WalletConnect an important tool for protecting user privacy and enhancing on-chain security. By redefining the connection method, WalletConnect provides users with greater control and security, thereby building a more secure and transparent interactive environment in the Web3 ecosystem.

With the continuous development of blockchain technology, privacy protection will become an increasingly important issue. The emergence of WalletConnect undoubtedly provides an innovative solution to this problem, bringing Web3 users a safer and more private on-chain experience.

This trap prevention mechanism should have been in place a long time ago.

If you don't get trapped, you deserve to be played for a sucker, right? The old suckers lose clearly.
