WalletConnect’s New Transformation: What is Reown?

The Ultimate On-Chain UX Platform for Web3 Developers, Reown

Hello! We are TOKTOKHAN.DEV, a development agency specializing in creating IT products.

Reown, WalletConnect’s New Rebranding, Provides a Powerful Toolkit to Help Developers Build On-Chain UX More Intuitively and Securely. In This Post, We’ll Explore the Key Features of Reown’s AppKit and WalletKit!

What is WalletConnect?

WalletConnect is an open-source protocol designed to link wallets with DApps (decentralized blockchain applications). It enables users to securely connect their wallets to DApps via QR code scanning or deep linking.

In the past, each DApp had to develop its own wallet integration, but with WalletConnect, developers can easily connect to various wallets using a single protocol.

💡 Features of WalletConnect

  • Can connect to various blockchains and wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Rainbow, Trust Wallet, etc.)
  • Supports secure connections and transaction signing
  • Usable on both mobile and web platforms
  • After the WalletConnect v2 update, offers multi-chain connectivity and push notification features

What is Reown?

WalletConnect has been rebranded as Reown! Reown aims to be a platform that goes beyond simple wallet connections, focusing on providing a more intuitive and secure way to manage accounts and digital ownership in Web3.

The Vision of Reown

“Toolkits to build onchain UX”

→ Providing tools to build on-chain UX.

💡 Rebranding Points

  • WalletConnect has expanded from simple wallet connections to Web3 account and authentication systems
  • Provides an easier and safer user experience (UX) in the Web3 environment
  • Brand and UI/UX renewal → the official website has been redesigned to be cleaner and more intuitive

👀 Design Renewal Points

What are the key points the TOKTOKHAN.DEV design team had in mind?

Reown’s rebranded website uses the Bento Grid Layout to effectively convey the brand image. Inspired by the Japanese word ‘Bento,’ meaning ‘lunchbox,’ this layout is a design trend that clearly represents the hierarchy of information through a well-organized grid structure. This layout is perfect for emphasizing the intuitiveness of the developer toolkit Reown provides and harmonizes with regular graphic elements to convey Reown’s brand identity at a glance. 😊

Reown is a toolkit that helps developers easily build on-chain UX. While WalletConnect was simply a connection protocol, Reown is an extended Web3 solution that includes wallet connection, authentication, and account management! 🚀

🔹 Core Features of Reown WalletKit

WalletKit enhances the core functionalities of WalletConnect, making signing (Sign), authentication (Auth), and account management easier through its SDK.

  • Sign API Allows DApps to request users to sign transactions or messages.
  • Auth API Enables login implementation by verifying wallet address ownership with a single sign request.
  • Chain Independence Designed to be compatible with all chains, not tied to any specific blockchain.

WalletKit helps you easily add wallet authentication and signing features to DApps! 🚀

Why is Reown important?

Difference between the original WalletConnect and Reown

With the arrival of Reown, Web3 account and authentication systems have become more intuitive and powerful. Especially with features like email/social login, multi-chain support, and Web3 Inbox, the onboarding process is expected to become easier, and user experience will improve.

As a developer, you can use AppKit and WalletKit to build even easier and more powerful Web3 applications! 😎🔥
