Pedro Gomez, founder of WalletConnect, shares his journey of enhancing the Web3 wallet ecosystem by developing a communications protocol that enables secure connections between wallets and apps. WalletConnect, a Circle Ventures Portfolio Company, aims to foster a collaborative infrastructure where projects can build upon shared resources, promoting open network innovation rather than proprietary constraints. Since 2017, Gomez has focused on creating standards that improve user experience within the Ethereum ecosystem, believing that as the industry matures, wallet infrastructure will become decentralized, with businesses competing on user interface and service quality. Over the next year, WalletConnect plans to introduce Push and Chat APIs, enhancing user engagement beyond financial transactions. Gomez emphasizes the importance of patience, social coordination, and maintaining focus on network effects when developing infrastructure, advocating for trusting instincts and decisive action.
