Paying with crypto does not always mean copying a wallet address and sending funds manually. Sometimes, you can connect your wallet directly and confirm the payment in one click.
This is where WalletConnect helps: it connects crypto wallets to websites and apps. Learn how it works and how to make a payment through CryptoNow.
What Is WalletConnect
WalletConnect is an open protocol for connecting crypto wallets to websites and applications.
