The Blockchain.com Wallet has long been a cornerstone in the journey toward accessible, user-controlled cryptocurrency ownership. From its inception as a simple Bitcoin wallet to its current status as a multi-chain powerhouse, it continues to evolve in step with the rapidly expanding Web3 ecosystem. Today, that evolution takes a significant leap forward with the integration of WalletConnect v2.0, enabling seamless and secure interaction with decentralized applications (DApps).
This upgrade isn’t just a technical enhancement—it’s a gateway to deeper engagement with the decentralized web, empowering users to explore NFTs, DeFi, and the Metaverse like never before.
From Bitcoin Wallet to Web3 Gateway
When Blockchain.com first launched its wallet, the goal was clear: make crypto accessible without sacrificing self-custody. Users needed a way to buy, sell, and securely store Bitcoin—without relying on third parties. Over time, that foundation expanded.

Now, the Blockchain.com Wallet supports over 1,000 digital assets, covering more than 99.9% of tokens available on Ethereum and other major blockchains. It’s become one of the most widely used wallets globally, responsible for an estimated one-third of all on-chain Bitcoin transactions.
But true ownership means more than just holding assets—it means using them. That’s why the introduction of custodial and non-custodial account hosting in a single app marked a turning point. And now, with WalletConnect v2.0, users gain full access to the decentralized application layer that defines Web3.
What Is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that securely links crypto wallets to DApps across multiple blockchains. Instead of relying on centralized intermediaries, it enables peer-to-peer communication between your wallet and the apps you use—preserving privacy, transparency, and control.
With WalletConnect, your Blockchain.com Wallet becomes a universal key to the decentralized internet. Here’s what you can do:
- Trade tokens on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap or SushiSwap
- Buy and sell NFTs on marketplaces such as OpenSea
- Earn yield by supplying assets to DeFi protocols like Aave or Compound
- Explore virtual worlds and purchase land in platforms like Decentraland
Because DApps run on blockchain networks, they inherit core crypto principles: decentralization, immutability, and resistance to censorship. By connecting via WalletConnect, you interact directly with smart contracts—no middlemen involved.
Why WalletConnect v2.0 Matters
The jump from v1 to v2.0 represents a major architectural overhaul, addressing scalability, security, and usability challenges that limited earlier versions. Here’s what’s new—and why it benefits you:
Chain-Agnostic Interface
No longer tied to a single blockchain, WalletConnect v2.0 supports cross-chain interactions seamlessly. Whether you're on Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, or emerging Layer 1s, the experience remains consistent.
Multi-Chain Support
You can now switch between chains without reconnecting your wallet. Once paired, your session stays active across multiple networks, reducing friction during complex DeFi operations.
Pairing & Session Separation
Security improves through distinct pairing and session layers. Pairing establishes initial trust (via QR code), while sessions manage ongoing activity. If one session ends, others remain unaffected—enhancing both safety and convenience.
JSON-RPC Permissions
Granular permissions allow you to approve only the specific actions a DApp requests—such as signing a transaction or accessing account balance—without granting full wallet access.
Improved Session Management
Longer-lived sessions reduce the need to reconnect frequently, especially useful for active traders or those participating in multi-step DeFi strategies.
Decentralized Message Relaying
Messages between your wallet and DApps now travel through decentralized relay servers, eliminating reliance on any single point of failure and improving censorship resistance.
These upgrades collectively make WalletConnect v2.0 faster, safer, and far more flexible—perfectly aligned with the demands of modern Web3 users.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is WalletConnect safe to use with my Blockchain.com Wallet?
A: Yes. WalletConnect uses end-to-end encryption and never exposes your private keys. All transaction approvals happen directly within your wallet app.
Q: Does WalletConnect work on desktop?
A: Currently, WalletConnect v2.0 in the Blockchain.com Wallet is supported on iOS and Android mobile apps. Web browser integration is planned for future release.
Q: Can I connect to multiple DApps at once?
A: Yes. Thanks to session separation in v2.0, you can maintain secure connections to several DApps simultaneously across different blockchains.
Q: Are there any fees when using WalletConnect?
A: WalletConnect itself is free to use. However, interacting with DApps may involve standard network fees (gas fees) paid in the native token of the respective blockchain.
Q: What happens if I lose my phone or uninstall the app?
A: As long as you’ve backed up your wallet with your recovery phrase, you can restore access to your funds and reconnect to DApps on a new device.
Q: Does enabling WalletConnect give DApps access to my funds?
A: No. DApps can only request actions—you must manually approve every transaction and signing request in your wallet.
The Future of Self-Custody Meets Web3
The integration of WalletConnect v2.0 into the Blockchain.com Wallet marks a pivotal moment in democratizing access to decentralized finance and digital ownership. It bridges the gap between holding crypto and actively using it—turning passive asset storage into dynamic participation in global financial systems.
As blockchain technology matures, tools like this ensure that users remain in full control while enjoying greater functionality than ever before.
