WalletConnect works by a link or a QR code. The browser extension talks to the desktop app, and the app has to be running. The site you connect does not receive the keys.
You sign on the device
A transaction in a dApp is signed in Terius. Read what you are signing before you confirm. Uniswap, OpenSea, PancakeSwap, Getgems and other dApps use the same connection.
The NFT gallery shows NFTs on Ethereum, Solana and TON that belong to your addresses.
The desktop app has to be open
A site talks to the wallet through the browser extension and the local bridge. The desktop app has to be running and unlocked.
You approve each request
A connection or a signature waits for your confirmation. The site does not receive the seed phrase.
WalletConnect and TonConnect
EVM and Solana sites connect with a WalletConnect link. TON sites connect with TonConnect. The desktop app has to be open. Each signature waits on a confirm screen. You can disconnect a site later. The site never receives the seed phrase.
