How WalletConnect Verify API Protects Users from Phishing

Phishing remains one of the most common threats in Web3. Attackers often set up fake domains that look like real apps, tricking users into signing harmful transactions. @WalletConnect s Verify API is designed to stop that.

Here’s how it works:

1. Domain Verification When a user connects to a dApp, Verify API checks if the domain they’re on matches the app’s official metadata. If it doesn’t, the wallet can warn or block the connection.

2. Scam Detection Every domain is checked against WalletConnect’s Data Lake, which tracks known scam sites using trusted threat feeds and manual reviews. If the site is flagged, the wallet prevents the connection.

3. Trusted Apps Web3 apps can register their domains so wallets instantly recognize them as legitimate. This reassures users they’re interacting with the real app, not a fake.

4. Automatic Protection Wallets don’t need to manage manual allowlists. The Verify API handles checks in real time, keeping the user safe with zero extra effort.

The Result

Users get clear warnings before interacting with suspicious sites, wallets can block malicious connections, and apps can prove they’re trusted. Together, this adds a built-in shield against phishing across the Web3 ecosystem.

WalletConnect Verify API = safer connections, stronger trust.
