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 React.

​
Cloud Configuration

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

​
Installation

If you are setting up your React app, please do not use npx create-react-app, as it has been deprecated. Using it may cause dependency issues. Instead, please use Vite to create your React app. You can set it up by running npm create vite@latest.
npm install @reown/appkit @reown/appkit-universal-connector @reown/appkit-common ethers

​
Implementation

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

AppKit Core Example

Check the React AppKit Core example
 For a quick integration of Appkit Core you can use the UniversalConnector class. Which simplifies the integration of Appkit Core 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 type { AppKitNetwork } from '@reown/appkit/networks'
import type { CustomCaipNetwork } from '@reown/appkit-common'
import { UniversalConnector } from '@reown/appkit-universal-connector'

// Get projectId from https://dashboard.reown.com
export const projectId = import.meta.env.VITE_PROJECT_ID || "b56e18d47c72ab683b10814fe9495694" // this is a public projectId only to use on localhost

if (!projectId) {
  throw new Error('Project ID is not defined')
}

// you can configure your own network
const suiMainnet: CustomCaipNetwork<'sui'> = {
  id: 784,
  chainNamespace: 'sui' as const,
  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] as [AppKitNetwork, ...AppKitNetwork[]]

export async function getUniversalConnector() {
  const universalConnector = await UniversalConnector.init({
    projectId,
    metadata: {
      name: 'Universal Connector',
      description: 'Universal Connector',
      url: 'https://appkit.reown.com',
      icons: ['https://appkit.reown.com/icon.png']
    },
    networks: [
      {
        methods: ['sui_signPersonalMessage'],
        chains: [suiMainnet as CustomCaipNetwork],
        events: [],
        namespace: 'sui'
      }
    ]
  })

  return universalConnector
}
In the App.tsx file you can add : 
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { getUniversalConnector } from './config' // previous config file
import { UniversalConnector } from '@reown/appkit-universal-connector'

export function App() {
  const [universalConnector, setUniversalConnector] = useState<UniversalConnector>()
  const [session, setSession] = useState<any>()

  
  // Initialize the Universal Connector on component mount
  useEffect(() => {
    getUniversalConnector().then(setUniversalConnector)
  }, [])

  // Set the session state in case it changes
  useEffect(() => {
    setSession(universalConnector?.provider.session)
  }, [universalConnector?.provider.session])

​
Trigger the modal

To open AppKit Core you need to call the connect function from the Universal Connector. 
    // get the session from the universal connector
    const handleConnect = async () => {
      if (!universalConnector) {
        return
      }
  
      const { session: providerSession } = await universalConnector.connect()
      setSession(providerSession)
    };

    // disconnect the universal connector
    const handleDisconnect = async () => {
      if (!universalConnector) {
        return
      }
      await universalConnector.disconnect()
      setSession(null)
    };

    ...

    return (
    (
    <div>      
        <button onClick={handleConnect}>Open AppKit Core</button>
        <button onClick={handleDisconnect}>Disconnect</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",
  });
}
