TradeStars has integrated WalletConnect, an open-source protocol for connecting DApps (decentralised applications) to mobile wallets.

TradeStars is the first Fantasy Sports Gaming DApp where you can trade Fantasy Stocks whose value is directly linked to the real-life performance of world-famous athletes. The stocks can be purchased and sold using TSX, which is both the in-game currency (utility token) and the governance token of the ecosystem.

TradeStars is built on the Ethereum blockchain and powered by Polygon Network’s Layer 2 scaling solution. Till now, you could deposit and withdraw TSX to and from your in-game blockchain wallet only through Metamask.

With the WalletConnect integration, you can now deposit and withdraw TSX into your TradeStars account using a mobile wallet of your choice. WalletConnect supports a wide range of popular and reputed cryptocurrency wallets, including Trust Wallet, Coinomi, Infinito, and so on.

What is WalletConnect?

WalletConnect is a protocol which is being used by a host of cryptocurrency wallets to allows you to easily connect with a range of DApps. You can securely interact with the supported DApps through your mobile phone, by scanning a QR code (for desktop) or clicking an application deep link (for mobile).

When you wish to interact successfully with a DApp, you have to connect your wallet and enable the DApp (provide permission) to make signed transactions. WalletConnect implements this by establishing an encrypted connection between your wallet and the DApp you’re interacting with, offering a much more secure choice as compared to desktop or browser extension wallets.

We’re always in the pursuit of providing you with the best possible user experience, and the integration with WalletConnect is a step in the same direction.

WalletConnect wallets are available for Android and iOS. The complete list of wallets supported by WalletConnect is provided here.
