In the real world, we are accustomed to various card-swiping operations, such as taking the subway, entering an office, or a hotel room. However, have you ever thought about how we "enter" in the virtual world of Web3?

In fact, connecting a wallet is the card access control system in Web3. Whenever we access a Web3 project, the first step is usually to connect the wallet. This process involves several steps: first, the user provides the wallet address; then, the system verifies the user's identity; next, the access level is determined based on the user's on-chain assets and behavioral permissions; finally, the system grants authorization.

The core of this entire process is WalletConnect. It acts as the "access control system" underlying the Web3 world. With the launch of WCT by WalletConnect, every instance of user identity verification, compliance access, and on-chain interaction is regarded as a "high-quality entry behavior." In other words, every successful wallet connection builds the user's own "access record."

This mechanism is actually establishing a digital identity authentication system for the Web3 world. In the future, these access records may become credentials for users to enter advanced Web3 communities or participate in specific activities. Just like membership systems in the real world, "exclusive clubs" in Web3 may require users to have sufficient access records to enter.

This digital identity authentication system not only enhances the security of Web3 projects but also provides users with more personalized and precise services. As the Web3 ecosystem continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovative applications and services based on this digital identity authentication.

Overall, the emergence of WalletConnect and WCT is redefining the way to access the Web3 world and the user authentication mechanism, paving the way for the future of digital life.
