Protection built in. Our proprietary Verify API product is integrated at the core of WalletConnect, giving wallets a powerful way to protect users from phishing and malicious domains.

Global wallet compatibility. Support a broad ecosystem of wallets and assets across chains and through a single integration, enabling consistent payment experiences across regions.

Designed for conversion and scale. Frictionless user experiences reduce drop-off, support high-volume traffic, and scale as payment platforms grow.
