🐦 If you've been paying attention you will notice that from next 
@rotki release you will be able to send onchain transactions from inside rotki itself!

A game changer signaling our shift towards active management of your assets from inside the app. You will be able to choose from you addresses, their tokens and then choose any address in your address book or copy paste a raw address.

But how does an app like rotki connect to a wallet?

rotki is the portfolio management tool that protects your privacy

Well there is two ways. If you access rotki in your browser, then it's easy. Just like any other dapp since it's in the browser you connect to the browser wallet.

But if you run rotki as most do, as the local electron local app we are using some @walletconnect magic by creating a local bridge in a browser tab to open a connection between the browser wallet and rotki.

There is ways to improve on this approach but for now as a first step to achieve a connection between rotki and the user's wallet this will do and it opens up so many new possibilities!

Using WalletConnect and a local bridge is a smart way to seamlessly link your browser wallet to the app. Can’t wait to see how this evolves and the new possibilities it unlocks for users!
