We’re thrilled to announce that Fireblocks, the digital asset custody, transfer, and settlement platform, has integrated WalletConnect v2.0 to offer its institutional clients access to the Solana blockchain’s ecosystem of decentralized applications for the very first time.
As one of the largest players in the crypto custody infrastructure space, Fireblocks serves over 1,300 institutions with its software and APIs. With its integration of WalletConnect v2.0, Fireblocks is moving beyond EVM-compatible chains to include non-EVM chains in its service offering, starting with Solana.
This is made possible by the enhanced version of our remote signer API, WalletConnect Sign. We developed the WalletConnect Sign API to enable wallets and apps to securely interact through an end-to-end encrypted connection, to realize interoperability within the flourishing web3 space. With v2.0 of the protocol, we have expanded interoperability to include non-EVM chains, providing support for multi-chain features such as simultaneous transaction signing.
