};

WalletConnect lets you connect a DFNS wallet to external applications (dApps) directly from the dashboard. Once connected, you can approve transaction requests and sign messages from the dApp using your DFNS wallet.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and approve the session">
    The dashboard will show the dApp's details (name, URL) and the requested permissions. Review and approve the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Approving requests

Once connected, the dApp can send signature or transaction requests. When a request arrives:

1. A notification appears in the dashboard
2. Click on the pending request to review the details
3. Approve or reject the request. Approved requests are signed with your DFNS wallet's key

<Warning>
  Always verify the details of each request before approving. Check the recipient address, amounts, and contract interactions carefully.
</Warning>

## Managing sessions

Active WalletConnect sessions are listed on the wallet page. You can:

* View connected dApps and their details
* See pending signature requests
* Disconnect a session at any time

Sessions expire automatically after 7 days of inactivity.

## Limitations

* WalletConnect is a **dashboard-only** feature. It is not available via the API
* Each session is tied to a specific wallet
* Only available on networks that support WalletConnect (see above)
