WalletConnect v2 Integration

SSP Wallet features comprehensive WalletConnect v2 support (now Reown), enabling seamless integration with thousands of decentralized applications (dApps) on EVM-compatible blockchain networks while maintaining the security of the 2-of-2 multisignature architecture.

Overview

WalletConnect v2 (rebranded as Reown) is the leading protocol for connecting wallets to dApps, providing a secure and standardized way to interact with the decentralized web on EVM-compatible networks. SSP Wallet's implementation ensures that all the security benefits of the multisignature system are preserved during dApp interactions.

Key Features

Universal dApp Compatibility

• Connect to any WalletConnect-enabled dApp

• Support for DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and trading platforms

• Seamless integration with popular dApps like Uniswap, OpenSea, and Aave

EVM-Compatible Chain Support

SSP Wallet's WalletConnect integration supports:

• Ethereum Mainnet - Full DeFi ecosystem access

• Polygon - Low-cost transactions and gaming dApps

• Binance Smart Chain (BSC) - Diverse DeFi options

• Avalanche - High-speed transactions and DeFi protocols

• Base - Coinbase Layer 2 with growing consumer apps

Important: WalletConnect only works with EVM-compatible networks. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and other UTXO networks do not support WalletConnect protocol.

Advanced Transaction Types

• Standard Transactions: Send/receive tokens and interact with contracts

• EIP-712 Message Signing: Full support for typed structured data signing

• Batch Transactions: Execute multiple operations in a single transaction

• Contract Interactions: Direct smart contract calls with parameter validation

Security Architecture

2-of-2 Multisignature Preservation

• All WalletConnect transactions still require both SSP Wallet and SSP Key approval

• Private keys never leave their respective devices

• Transaction signing follows the standard SSP security protocol

Session Management

• Secure WebSocket connections for real-time communication

• Session expiration and renewal mechanisms

• Automatic cleanup of inactive sessions

Supported Methods

Standard Methods

• eth_sendTransaction: Execute standard Ethereum transactions

• personal_sign: Sign arbitrary messages

• eth_sign: Basic message signing

• eth_signTypedData_v4: EIP-712 structured data signing

Chain-Specific Methods

• wallet_switchEthereumChain: Network switching

• wallet_addEthereumChain: Add custom networks

• wallet_watchAsset: Add custom tokens

Account Abstraction Support

SSP Wallet's WalletConnect integration includes native support for ERC-4337 Account Abstraction:

Features

• Gasless Transactions: Sponsored transaction execution

• Batch Operations: Multiple actions in single transaction

• Session Keys: Temporary permissions for specific dApps

• Social Recovery: Enhanced account recovery options

Smart Account Capabilities

// Example: Batch transaction with Account Abstraction
const batchOps = [
  {
    target: tokenContract,
    data: encodeTransfer(recipient, amount),
    value: 0
  },
  {
    target: stakingContract,
    data: encodeStake(amount),
    value: 0
  }
];

await smartAccount.executeBatch(batchOps);

EIP-712 Message Signing

SSP Wallet provides full support for EIP-712 typed structured data signing, which is essential for modern dApp interactions:

Supported Types

• Domain separators for security

• Primary types and nested structures

• Array and primitive data types

• Custom message formats

Example Implementation

const domain = {
  name: 'Example dApp',
  version: '1',
  chainId: 1,
  verifyingContract: '0x...'
};

const types = {
  Order: [
    { name: 'trader', type: 'address' },
    { name: 'amount', type: 'uint256' },
    { name: 'nonce', type: 'uint256' }
  ]
};

const message = {
  trader: '0x...',
  amount: '1000000000000000000',
  nonce: 123
};

// SSP Wallet handles the signing with both devices
const signature = await ssp.signTypedData(domain, types, message);

Development Integration

For dApp Developers

// Initialize WalletConnect connection (Reown)
import { createWeb3Modal, defaultWagmiConfig } from '@web3modal/wagmi/react'
import { WagmiConfig } from 'wagmi'
import { arbitrum, mainnet, polygon, bsc, avalanche, base } from 'wagmi/chains'

const chains = [mainnet, polygon, bsc, avalanche, base]
const wagmiConfig = defaultWagmiConfig({ chains, projectId: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID' })

// Create modal
createWeb3Modal({ wagmiConfig, projectId: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID', chains })

// Connect to SSP Wallet
await web3Modal.open()

// Send transaction (EVM chains only)
const result = await connector.sendTransaction({
  to: '0x...',
  value: '1000000000000000000', 
  data: '0x...',
  chainId: 1 // Ethereum mainnet
});

Configuration Options

• Custom RPC endpoints for different networks

• Gas estimation and fee customization

• Transaction timeout and retry logic

• Error handling and user feedback

Security Considerations

Best Practices

1. Verify Connection Requests: Always review dApp permissions carefully

2. Monitor Session Activity: Regularly check active WalletConnect sessions

3. Use Trusted dApps: Only connect to verified and audited applications

4. Review Transaction Details: Carefully examine all transaction parameters

Risk Mitigation

• Automatic session expiration

• Transaction amount limits

• Suspicious activity detection

• Real-time security alerts

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Connection Failures: Check network connectivity and QR code validity

• Transaction Delays: Network congestion may cause slower confirmations

• Session Expiry: Re-establish connection if session becomes inactive

Support Resources

• WalletConnect debugging tools

• SSP Wallet connection logs

• Community support channels

• Technical documentation

Future Enhancements

Planned Features

• WalletConnect v3 migration support

• Enhanced session management

• Custom permission systems

• Advanced gas optimization

Integration Roadmap

• Support for additional blockchain networks

• Enhanced Account Abstraction features

• Improved user experience flows

• Developer SDK improvements

The WalletConnect v2 integration in SSP Wallet represents a significant advancement in secure dApp connectivity, combining the convenience of universal dApp access with the robust security of 2-of-2 multisignature technology.
