# WalletConnect

> WalletConnect is the secure standard that links your crypto wallet to apps without ever exposing your private keys.

**WalletConnect** is a service that lets you safely connect your crypto wallet to apps, websites, and platforms, without giving them your private keys or seed phrase.

## How it works

Instead of typing in sensitive information, you scan a **QR code** or approve a connection inside your wallet app. This creates a secure link so the app can request actions, like approving a payment or signing a message, but you stay in full control, because nothing happens unless you confirm it in your wallet.

<Note>
  Think of WalletConnect as a secure bridge that lets your wallet talk to other apps, nothing more. It is widely used across the crypto world for exactly this reason.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Your **seed phrase** is the master key to your wallet. WalletConnect never asks for it, and neither will GAIMIN. If any app or person asks you to enter your seed phrase to "connect," stop: it is a scam.
