At the heart of WalletConnect lies a mission to make web3 accessible to everyone. Founded in 2018 by Pedro Gomes, WalletConnect began as an open-source protocol designed to bridge the gap between decentralized applications (dApps) and mobile wallets. The core idea was to enable secure and seamless interactions without compromising user's private keys, fostering a more user-friendly and secure web3 experience. The company's culture is deeply rooted in the principles of open-source development, interoperability, and community collaboration. WalletConnect envisions a future where every component of a wallet is fully decentralized, and where businesses compete on user interface, experience, and customer service, rather than proprietary, gated solutions. This ethos drives their commitment to building shared infrastructure that benefits the entire ecosystem, unleashing network effects and fostering innovation.

WalletConnect's values are centered around security, user control, and accessibility. They strive to provide a communications protocol for web3 that empowers users by keeping their private keys secure within their own wallets, while enabling encrypted connections to a vast array of dApps across multiple blockchains. The team is dedicated to simplifying the complexities of web3 interactions, continually refining user interfaces to be more intuitive and transparent. This commitment extends to initiatives like WalletGuide, a community-focused project to highlight digital wallets adhering to the highest UX and security standards. As WalletConnect evolves, its focus remains on decentralizing its protocol further, championing greater community participation and user ownership in the burgeoning blockchain ecosystem. They are not just building a product; they are nurturing an open network where any company or individual can join, leverage their infrastructure, and contribute to the future of a decentralized internet.
