Unity 4.14.0 - WalletConnect Upgrades

Firekeeper

Massive upgrade to the WalletConnect SDK

In previous versions of our SDK, choosing WalletConnect was akin to choosing MetaMask as a WalletProvider when connecting. We wanted to make sure we captured most of the WalletConnect features and have the two connection methods achieve different things, respectively:

  • Provide a simple interface for a single MetaMask connection using the native MM SDK, where you can easily customize the prefab, and in WebGL use the browser extension instantly without UI.
  • Make WalletConnect the option to support now over 400 wallets using a standalone modal that fits right into your desktop and mobile games.

We've now reached the point where we can gladly say WalletConnect is a stable option for developers who want to support external wallets, perhaps alongside web2 login options thirdweb provides - it has been customized to be fully integrated with the thirdweb Unity SDK, and you can now reach a wider audience easily.

To connect using WalletConnect, as usual, simply call SDK.Wallet.Connect and the magic will happen automatically.

using Thirdweb;
public async void ConnectWallet()
{
// Reference to your Thirdweb SDK
var sdk = ThirdwebManager.Instance.SDK;
// Configure the connection
var connection = new WalletConnection(
provider: WalletProvider.WalletConnect,
chainId: 1
);
// Connect the wallet
string address = await sdk.Wallet.Connect(connection);
}

WalletConnect Updates

  • Support for additional wallets: you can now connect to 400+ different wallets using their respective deeplinks, cross-platform.
  • WalletProvider_WalletConnect now fully utilizes the WalletConnect UI Modal.
  • You can customize which wallets to include, this feature was previously only available for WebGL, add the wallet ids to your ThirdwebManager's WalletConnect Options to use this.
  • Support for selecting different accounts for wallets that integrate this feature.
  • Support for connecting to multiple chains, and switching networks without being prompted until the next request comes in (big UX difference specially on mobile!)
  • All issues with reconnection have been fixed, disconnect and reconnect as you please, with any wallet you like!
  • All issues with mobile deeplinking and redirection have been fixed.
  • UI adapts to screen size and orientation.

Special thanks to the WalletConnect team for help with debugging and integration to get this to the finish line.
