Every day, we perform a seemingly simple operation: connecting a Wallet. This action, in the world of Web3, actually equates to a virtual "immigration registration."

In this digital realm, WalletConnect plays a role similar to that of a "Web3 customs officer," quietly recording every move of the users.

Every time you connect your Wallet, you are essentially declaring your identity, origin, and destination to the blockchain world. This step determines whether you are a legitimate, trustworthy, and traceable on-chain citizen. Without this step, you are like an "unknown" virtual person on the chain, with unclear behavior.

WalletConnect is not just about connecting wallets, but also about connecting your on-chain identity, permissions, and trust status. It can identify the type of wallet you are using (just like recognizing your "passport nationality"), the dApp you want to access (similar to your "destination"), the permissions you have (whether it's a short stay or a long residency), as well as the signature, authorization, and verification methods you are using.

Doesn't this entire process resemble border checks in the real world?

In this virtual world, WCT (WalletConnect Token) plays the role of a "digital visa" and "points card". Just like the visa system in the real world, it determines whether you can enter a certain dApp, how long you can stay, and whether multiple entries are allowed, etc.

This mechanism not only ensures the security of the Web3 world but also provides users with better privacy protection and permission management. Every time you click "Connect Wallet", you are actually navigating through a complex and sophisticated virtual border system.

Understanding this process can help us better comprehend the operational mechanism of Web3 and remind us of the importance of protecting our "virtual identity" in this digital world. Next time you connect your Wallet, you might imagine yourself passing through a virtual border checkpoint, which may give you a whole new perspective on the Web3 world.
