WalletConnect being OFAC-complain has one advantage they have freed up space in the market for someone to create a decentralized alternative :)

I've been supporting Walletconnect since maybe 2019, educating hundreds of people in our @gweicz community about WC since then. But this feels like a stab in the back to me. If I knew you had no problem being OFAC complain, I would never have promoted this.

I’ve been building the protocol since 2018 and I’m really glad that you have been a supporter since 2019 It’s important to note that OFAC compliance does not affect the protocol development But right now the network is operated only by our company and we must comply to the law where it’s headquartered …

The project has always been open source and we never published with restrictive licenses Additionally the protocol development is specified for anyone to implement Currently implemented in several languages: - JS - Swift - Kotlin - Dart - C# Check out our protocol specs below https://specs.walletconnect.com …

We have been very transparent about our current centralization and described our progressive roadmap to decentralize Our team keeps championing standards that enable the best UX on Ethereum and broader Web3 Invite anyone to watch our latest talk in Paris https://www.youtube.com/live/WxTlmpjuj1o?si=m9xo8i0fDUbTD3sD

I'm watching the video and it's confusing. Versioning is used to indicate the particular version we're talking about. But V2.0 in that video indicates the current version, but also future versions (?). Why isn't the current version v2.0, permissioned v2.1 and permissionless v2.2 or similar?

I think this is one of the things that doesn't help at all. I wrote about V2.0 back in 2021, and when V2.0 came out, people (rationally) expected all the decentralization that was promised to be there. But not really, because it's some OTHER V2.0. Very confusing.

I think we all understand progressive decentralization, and we're used to it - but the WC route is very unclear and confusing. And that is perhaps the biggest problem. Not technology, but communication.

The confusion is on the architecture The protocol itself doesn’t need to be decentralized because it’s transport-agnostic However the only transport supported by default is the Relay servers The Relay server is what needs to be decentralized This will happen seamlessly without client-side upgrades

Yes the architecture is very confusing I don't understand why it's not p2p client-client and why there has to be some relays (besides solving NAT issues), or why WC solves RPC connections and blockchain I just need something that allows me to send a message from my dapp to my wallet and vice versa

Dapps and wallets usually have their own RPC connection - I don't understand why WC has to have one too. To me, WC is really just supposed to be a message broker from point A to point B

I think you misunderstood the diagram completely WalletConnect is a message broker Please read the specs carefully https://specs.walletconnect.com

I see the need to have a message broker between two clients, between two web3 instances for example (wallet <-> dapp). This should be maximally abstracted. When I open the documentation, I see so many APIs and I don't know what is the relationship between them and why I should need them.

From a dapp developer's point of view - I don't want to deal with any special WC APIs at all, I just want to load the library, it wraps the web3 instance and redirects certain requests elsewhere if needed - thats all.
