Institutions’ adoption of onchain finance is one of the biggest growth drivers of crypto, and Fireblocks plays a critical role in enabling access for institutions. Through Fireblocks’ integration with WalletConnect, institutional capital has a direct, secure, and scalable path into the onchain ecosystem.
While most DeFi platforms focus on sheer user count, Fireblocks is different: it’s built to move billions, not onboard millions, and through their integration with WalletConnect, Fireblocks can do both, securely connecting the world’s biggest financial players to onchain finance.
High-trust capital meets high-composability infrastructure.
What Is Fireblocks?
Fireblocks is one of the most trusted infrastructure providers in institutional finance. From global payment networks to crypto-native companies, Fireblocks powers secure digital asset custody and movement for Worldpay, Visa, Bridge, Revolut, eToro, and over 2,000 more enterprise-grade institutions across both traditional finance and crypto.
With over $10 trillion in transactions, 500 million wallets secured, and $200+ billion in monthly stablecoin volume, Fireblocks isn’t just part of the ecosystem; it’s shaping the future of it.
Their platform supports EVM-compatible chains, Bitcoin, Sui, and Monad, among others, making it one of the most versatile and security-first options for any serious digital asset business.
The Opportunity: Billions in Value, But Missing the Connectivity Layer
Most DeFi platforms offer wallet support via browser extension for popular tools like MetaMask, Phantom, Base Wallet, OKX Wallet, and Binance Wallet. These browser-based or mobile-native wallets are deeply integrated into app UX, making them the go-to for individual users.
But institutional wallets like Fireblocks? Often left out.
And that creates friction. While Fireblocks may not have millions of users, it moves more money per user than any other wallet in the market. Billions of dollars in onchain value were effectively disconnected from the app layer.
This disconnect made it harder for apps to tap into institutional liquidity, and even harder for institutions to interact with the next generation of onchain finance.
The Solution: WalletConnect Powers Fireblocks Access
Enter WalletConnect: the standard for secure, chain-agnostic wallet connectivity.
With one integration, apps gain access to over 70,000+ apps, including Aave, Hyperliquid, Spark Fi, and Aerodrome Finance. No additional code paths. No special setups. Just one SDK that works across the board. WalletConnect is the connectivity layer for the financial internet.
For institutions, this unlocks access to the same apps being used by everyday users. For developers, it means high-value wallets like Fireblocks can now interact with your app without requiring new infra or backend logic.
This isn’t just connectivity. It’s capital efficiency at scale.
Sui + Fireblocks + WalletConnect: Real Multichain Support
While WalletConnect is chain-agnostic by default, some networks need a little extra care.
That’s where the Sui integration comes in.
Sui is a fast-growing Layer 1 chain with strong interest from institutional players. To support Sui, WalletConnect teamed up with both Fireblocks and Sui to upgrade the connectivity layer and ensure seamless wallet-to-app interactions.
The result: full Fireblocks support across Sui-powered apps via WalletConnect, with no compromises on UX or security.

Why WalletConnect Is Secure for Institutions
WalletConnect uses end-to-end encryption by default, so WalletConnect's servers are not able to see or alter the communications between apps and wallets. That matters for institutions, where privacy, integrity, and compliance are non-negotiable. Whether it’s sensitive KYC data or large-value transaction flows, WalletConnect ensures information stays private and tamper-proof. Unlike custom integrations that trade security for speed, WalletConnect delivers both, secure by design, and composable across chains and apps. For financial institutions operating at scale, it provides the confidence to interact onchain without compromising operational standards.
Why Speed Matters and How WalletConnect Delivers It
In finance, speed isn’t optional; it’s everything. Markets move fast, and any delay in signing, switching apps, or logging in can mean missed opportunities or broken flows. WalletConnect eliminates those delays with instant, session-based connections that keep users active across devices and chains. Unlike browser extensions that require constant logins, pop-ups, or tab switching, WalletConnect maintains a live, encrypted session that just works. For institutions executing high-volume or time-sensitive transactions, that speed translates directly into performance and reliability at scale.
Why This Matters
Institutional interest in onchain infrastructure has never been higher, but onboarding is often where things fall apart. Fireblocks integration with WalletConnect changes that.
- Developers now have access to capital-rich wallets with just one integration.
- Institutions gain secure, compliant, and native access to thousands of apps.
- Apps become fully inclusive of high-trust, high-volume users, without rebuilding UX.
This is a major leap forward for making the onchain economy not just open, but functional for everyone.
