WalletConnect App SDK is chain agnostic and provides seamless integration with several blockchain ecosystems. WalletConnect App SDK when combined with Universal Provider library enables compatibility across any blockchain protocol.

Pre-requisites

This section is to inform you about the pre-requisites for integrating WalletConnect as an App with JavaScript (vanilla JS).

Cloud Configuration

Create a new project on WalletConnect Dashboard at https://dashboard.walletconnect.com and obtain a new project ID. You will need this project ID to initialize WalletConnect in your project (app).

Get started

Allowlist

To help prevent malicious use of your project ID, you are strongly encouraged to set an allowlist of origins where your project ID is used. You can manage your allowlist in the WalletConnect Dashboard under the project settings. The allowlist supports a list of origins in the format [scheme://]<hostname[:port]>. Using localhost (or 127.0.0.1) is always permitted, and if the allowlist is empty, all origins are allowed. Updates take 15 minutes to apply. Examples of possible origins in the allowlist:
  • example.com - allows https://example.com or http://example.com but not https://www.example.com
  • https://example.com - allows https://example.com but not http://example.com
  • https://*.example.com - allows https://www.example.com but not https://example.com
Requests from origins not in the allowlist will be denied. Make sure to add all domains where your app will be deployed.

Installation

npm install @reown/appkit @reown/appkit-universal-connector @reown/appkit-common ethers

Implementation

Here is a sample implementation of WalletConnect App SDK with JavaScript. You can also check the example repository below.

WalletConnect App SDK JavaScript Example

Check the WalletConnect App SDK JavaScript example
For a quick integration of WalletConnect App SDK you can use the UniversalConnector class. Which simplifies the integration of WalletConnect App SDK by providing a single interface for all the blockchain protocols. You can configure the Universal Connector with the networks you want to support. For more information, please visit RPC Reference section from our docs. We recommend creating a config file to establish a singleton instance for the Universal Connector:
import { UniversalConnector } from '@reown/appkit-universal-connector'

export const projectId = import.meta.env.VITE_PROJECT_ID || "YOUR_PROJECT_ID_HERE" // Replace with your actual project ID

if (!projectId || projectId === "YOUR_PROJECT_ID_HERE") {
  throw new Error('Project ID is not defined. Please set your project ID from the WalletConnect Dashboard.')
}

// you can configure your own network
const suiMainnet = {
  id: 784,
  chainNamespace: 'sui',
  caipNetworkId: 'sui:mainnet',
  name: 'Sui',
  nativeCurrency: { name: 'SUI', symbol: 'SUI', decimals: 9 },
  rpcUrls: { default: { http: ['https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443'] } }
}

export const networks = [suiMainnet]

export let universalConnector

export async function getUniversalConnector() {
  if (!universalConnector) {
    universalConnector = await UniversalConnector.init({
      projectId,
      metadata: {
        name: 'Universal Connector',
        description: 'Universal Connector',
        url: 'https://www.walletconnect.com',
        icons: ['https://www.walletconnect.com/icon.png']
      },
      networks: [
        {
          methods: ['sui_signPersonalMessage'],
          chains: [suiMainnet],
          events: [],
          namespace: 'sui'
        }
      ]
    })
  }
  return universalConnector
}
In the main.js file you can add:
import { getUniversalConnector } from './config/appKit.js'

async function setup() {
  const universalConnector = await getUniversalConnector()

  // check if session is already connected
  if (universalConnector?.provider.session) {
    session = universalConnector?.provider.session
  }
}

setup() 

Trigger the modal

To open the WalletConnect modal you need to call the connect function from the Universal Connector. For more information, please visit RPC Reference section from our docs.
<script>
    let address = null
    let addressStacks = null
    let session = null

    async function handleConnect() {
      // universalConnector is the universal connector instance from the implementation section
      if (!universalConnector) {
        return
      }

      const { session: providerSession } = await universalConnector.connect()
      // get the address from the session
      if (providerSession?.namespaces?.sui?.accounts?.[0]?.split(':')[2]) {
        address = providerSession?.namespaces?.sui?.accounts?.[0]?.split(':')[2]
      } else if (providerSession?.namespaces?.stacks?.accounts?.[0]?.split(':')[2]) {
        addressStacks = providerSession?.namespaces?.stacks?.accounts?.[0]?.split(':')[2]
      }
      // update the session
      session = providerSession;
    }

    document.getElementById('open-connect-modal').addEventListener('click', handleConnect);
</script>
.... 

<div> 
  <button id="open-connect-modal">Open WalletConnect modal</button>
</div>

Smart Contract Interaction

Wagmi hooks can help us interact with wallets and smart contracts:
import { useReadContract } from "wagmi";
import { USDTAbi } from "../abi/USDTAbi";

const USDTAddress = "0x...";

function App() {
  const result = useReadContract({
    abi: USDTAbi,
    address: USDTAddress,
    functionName: "totalSupply",
  });
}
