WalletGuide is designed to be the ultimate directory for digital
wallets, helping users and developers identify which wallets excel
across a variety of standards, including security, features,
quality, and more. This initiative underscores WalletConnect’s
commitment to leading UX innovation and collaborating across the
industry to deliver the best possible experience to users.
"At WalletConnect, we are committed to driving UX innovation and
setting high standards within the industry, and WalletGuide is just
an extension of this promise,” said Jess Houlgrave, WalletConnect
CEO. “By leveraging the insights of respected industry leaders,
WalletGuide promises both users and developers with a comprehensive
list of secure, feature-rich, and compliant digital wallets, sealed
with the 'WalletConnect Certified' gold badge of approval. We are
dedicated to delivering the best possible experience to our
community."
In collaboration with key industry partners, WalletGuide ensures
a consensus-driven and comprehensive approach to establishing and
evaluating UX criteria. By working closely with experts and
stakeholders from across the ecosystem including wallets
themselves, WalletConnect guarantees that WalletGuide reflects the
latest best practices and industry innovations.
“WalletConnect’s collaborative, open-sourced, and user-focused
approach is at the heart of our industry’s DNA,” said Eric Kuhn,
Head of Kraken Wallet. “This initiative provides a new standard for
security and functionality that ensures wallet users have full
confidence that their onchain experience is going to work. This
aligns exactly with what Kraken Wallet has set out to achieve.”
“Partnering with WalletConnect on WalletGuide allows us to
showcase our commitment to community driven standards and user
experience,” said Jasmine Xu, Head of Product at Magic Eden “This
directory will be invaluable for users and developers alike,
setting a benchmark for excellence in the digital wallet
space."
“WalletConnect and Trust Wallet have long shared the mission of
building for the long-term, collaborating openly with communities,
and putting users first,” said Nate Zou, Head of Product at Trust
Wallet. “We’re excited to partner with them on this new initiative
to further drive that mission forward in a way that ensures users
are protected with the highest international standards while
maintaining innovation and seamless user experience.”
This announcement follows WalletConnect’s recent launch of
AppKit and WalletKit, providing developers with innovative tools to
build solutions that simplify web3 interactions efficiently. AppKit
and WalletKit offer customizable APIs for enhanced user control and
flexibility, empowering developers to transform existing
applications into more advanced experiences while increasing
control over user data and assets across applications, wallets, and
websites.
WalletConnect is also on a path to fully decentralize its
protocol, a move that champions greater community participation and
user ownership in the blockchain ecosystem. More details about this
decentralization effort will be revealed at the upcoming event in
Singapore this September.
