Install and Open the Wallet:
Download and install the supported mobile wallet app on your device.
Open the wallet app and create an account or import your existing wallet if you don't have one.
Navigate to WalletConnect:
In the wallet app, look for the option related to WalletConnect. This is usually found in the settings or connection section.
Initiate WalletConnect:
Choose to initiate a new WalletConnect session. This action generates a QR code or a connection code.
Using a Web Browser:
Install WalletConnect Extension (if required):
If you're using a web browser like Chrome or Firefox, you might need to install the WalletConnect extension.
Visit the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons and search for "WalletConnect."
Install the extension.
Access the dApp:
Open a decentralized application (dApp) in your web browser. Many decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, and other DeFi services support WalletConnect.
Connect to WalletConnect:
Look for an option within the dApp to connect your wallet.
Choose WalletConnect as the connection method.
Scan QR Code or Enter Code:
If you initiated the connection from your mobile wallet, scan the QR code displayed on the dApp with your mobile wallet's camera.
If you initiated the connection from the web browser, use your mobile wallet to scan the QR code or enter the connection code provided by the dApp.
Authorize Connection:
Authorize the connection on both your mobile wallet and the web browser. This often involves confirming the connection on your mobile device.
Start Using the dApp:
Once the connection is established, you can start using the dApp with your mobile wallet.
Always download wallets and extensions from official sources to ensure security.
Keep your recovery phrases and private keys secure and never share them.
Follow the specific instructions provided by your chosen wallet and the dApp you're connecting to.
