No matter how many wallets or browsers I try, I connect a wallet to Talent Protocol and it just keeps telling me to "Connect Wallet". What did I do wrong?

To be honest,
I don't see why it should be needed to connect the wallet.

For such products, we should be able to just copy pasta our wallet in a field.

They want you to sign a message using the private key to prove you have access to the address, because otherwise I could pretend to be anybody

Agree in general sign-ins are overused and responsible for billions in phishing losses due to permit(), but in this case they want to like disparate data sources to your on-chain identity so it's justified IMO

I understand why one should sign

but here in this case, still I believe this could be just accessible by copypasting.

No need to prove anything to see a wrapped year of an address, there's no incentive to sign

Even in the social sharing of one's wrapped, the content is a simple url that doesn't require a sign-in

Too many useless sign-ins in crypto. Not good for the average Joe & Jane we want to onboard to web3
