Summary

WalletConnect is an open-source protocol connecting crypto wallets to decentralized applications. In September 2024 its operator, WalletConnect Inc., rebranded as Reown, and a separate WalletConnect Foundation took over stewardship of the WalletConnect Network and its WCT token. No regulatory action or compromise of the core protocol was found in this review; the main documented harms are third-party impersonation (a fake Google Play app and phishing sites) that exploited the brand.
