Using WalletConnect and syncing a wallet with it is one of the most amazing things that you can do in your cryptocurrency journey. The reason why one must use WalletConnect with a crypto wallet is that it allows you to establish a connection between your wallet and a decentralized application of your choice. Since you cannot access some dApps directly, therefore you need to have access to a bridge that will help you with establishing this connection.
So, if you are a Coinbase Wallet user and you are planning to access any decentralized application to explore the Web3 world, then I would suggest you stay tuned and learn the whole process in detail. The procedure can be performed both on a Desktop as well as a Mobile phone and should take just a few minutes. Now, let's jump straight into the procedure.
Connecting Coinbase Wallet and WalletConnect
The following procedure has been divided into some important steps so that you can easily understand the whole procedure in detail. Here we go:
- Select a preferred dApp
Begin by choosing a decentralized application that supports WalletConnect. Well, you can choose from a wide collection of dApps e.g. Uniswap, PancakeSwap, ParaSwap, etc. Most of the dApps that are deployed on the Ethereum blockchain are compatible with WalletConnect. Today, we are taking the example of Paraswap to walk you through the whole process. To use this, you must go to the app.paraswap.io webpage.
- Choose the option to connect the wallet
As soon as you reach this website, you will see an option that says "Connect Wallet" at the top of the page. Select this option and then choose "WalletConnect" from the available options.
- Get and scan the QR code
At this stage, you have to scan the QR code that is displayed on your screen using Coinbase Wallet. So, open the Coinbase Wallet on your mobile device and use the available scanner to scan the given QR code. This will connect ParaSwap with your Coinbase Wallet.
- Or, connect the desktop wallet
On the flip side, if you are using a desktop, you can switch to the "Desktop" version in the given QR code window where you'll see the list of wallets that you can connect to the ParaSwap. Further, you can choose Coinbase Wallet from the given list, sign into your wallet account, and proceed with the given steps.
Congratulations!!! You have successfully connected your Coinbase wallet to the dApp of your choice. Please note that you can repeat the similar process for any other dApp.
