Security isn’t just a feature; it’s a requirement. For custodians, financial institutions, and regulated platforms entering the onchain economy, trust and control must be built in from the start.
WalletConnect meets those needs without compromise. Here’s how WalletConnect enables secure, compliant, and user-friendly onchain access at scale.
1. No Private Key Exposure
WalletConnect never exposes or transmits private keys. Custodians and institutions retain full control over wallet access and signing authority at all times. This ensures that digital assets remain protected under your governance model, with no risk of key leakage through the connection layer.
2. End-to-End Encrypted Sessions
All WalletConnect connections are encrypted between the wallet and the app. That means no sensitive data is visible to intermediaries during a session and shifts trust assumptions as the process is less susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle attacks. For institutions with strict data protection policies, WalletConnect upholds privacy standards while enabling real-time user interaction.
3. No Custody, No Asset Flow Risk
WalletConnect does not take custody of funds, nor does it handle asset transfers. It simply facilitates a secure, end-to-end encrypted channel between apps and wallets. That means no added counterparty risk, no custodial exposure, and no unnecessary intermediaries in the flow of funds.
4. Travel Rule Ready Authorization
WalletConnect’s 1-click authorization feature helps institutions comply with Travel Rule requirements, without degrading the user experience. Transactions can be permissioned, logged, and approved with minimal friction, supporting real-time compliance.
5. Built to Fit Institutional Guardrails
WalletConnect is not one-size-fits-all. It can be tailored to meet the unique regulatory, security, and product requirements of each custodian or institution. Whether you're building an exchange, asset manager, or wallet service, the protocol adapts to your compliance stack, not the other way around.
6. Protection Built In
Our proprietary Verify API product is integrated at the core of WalletConnect, giving wallets a powerful way to protect users from phishing and malicious domains. It’s the first layered security solution of its kind, helping users confirm whether the app or site they’re connecting to is genuine. With its robust architecture, the Verify API enables wallets to safeguard users and build trust into every connection.
