WalletConnect integration #18

Open benjizhai opened 1 year ago

benjizhai commented 1 year ago

During discussions with multiple parties both inside Dfinity and in the community, we seem to agree that while II is great as a next-gen identity solution, it is not suitable as a wallet. Moreover everyone should be able to develop a wallet for their specific usecase without requiring Dapp developers to integrate the wallet specifically.

Thus we propose to introduce a standard wallet interface on the IC, which would serve a similar purpose as WalletConnect on Ethereum, while leveraging IC specific technology.

After discussions at the WG, we agree that instead of coming up with our own WalletConnect-like interface, we would go for an integration with WalletConnect instead.

Steps:

  1. CAIP PRs
  2. Implementation details
