WalletConnect

[lukasschor]

Context

In order to make the Gnosis Safe successful, there needs to be a convenient way to interact with dapps. We already have Safe apps, however the dapp landscape develops too rapidly to have Safe apps ready for all new dapps out there.
Besides Metamask, WalletConnect is the standard that basically all dapps out there support.

Also, we got feedback from a number of users that they are missing this generic way for dapp interaction. It does not need to be perfect UX, but there needs to be a generalized way for interacting with dapps.

Task

Build a WalletConnect Safe app (hence "Safe Connect") where a Safe Multisig user can connect any WalletConnect-eabled dapp in order to enable an easy (even if hacky) solution to trigger Multisig transactions from generic dapps.

Details

• There is prototype for this, built by Tobias and Richard: https://github.com/tschubotz/safe-connect (Details here)
• IPFS Link of prototype: https://ipfs.gnosisdev.com/ipfs/QmV2yunABUtb66Qv8owQc8YzuCkUkEpKm8F9qUhsKX8fjS/
• Only one dapp at a time can be connected right now.
• This should be a simple Safe app consisting of 2 screens:

Screen 1 (Start)

• User can paste a WalletConnect QR code image which opens a WalletConnect connection and Screen 2 is opened.
• User sees instructions on
  • how this app works
  • how to take a screenshot on Mac or Windows (Mac: CMD+shift+ctrl+4)
  • how to paste
• User sees a link to a help center article with more information (Article will appear here)
• User sees an error when an invalid image/file/content was pasted

Screen 2 (Connected)

• User sees the connected dapp (Icon, Name, URL)
• User sees instructions how to trigger a transaction (something like "Open dapp, trigger transaction, come back here in order to confirm it.")
• User can disconnect which leads them to screen 1

(in Connected state)

• Whenever the dapp triggers a transaction, the Safe apps bring up the regular Safe app transaction dialog which a user can then submit.

Invalid QR code: https://invis.io/T4XF6KSQX7M#/429167945_Apps_-Safe_Connect_-_Error-_1272px_

After pasting: logo, name and url are shown: https://invis.io/T4XF6KSQX7M#/429167946_Apps_-Safe_Connect_-_Pasted-_1272px_

Connected state (Disconnect directs to initial screen): https://invis.io/T4XF6KSQX7M#/429167944_Apps_-Safe_Connect_-_Connected-_1272px_

This was done for the new layout. In the old layout the columns would just be narrow.

I was able to connect with the synthetix app using walletConnect and mint tokens

Issues:
I tried with Sablier and Uniswap and both apps had the issue of not recognizing the network I was working on.

[francovenica]

Tried again in mainnet and there Sablier and Uniswap didn't had issues recognizing the network, so maybe is just those app being inconsistent with the networks

Sorry, I created a new ticket and missed this one.

Note for WalletConnect we can also add a support to copying raw wc: link instead of pasting the QR code around.

Or whatever you think makes it easier to the user.

Someone else already asked for getting a raw wc: link from the WalletConnect modal.

@miohtama We didn't find many dapps that expose the raw wc: link. Only uniswap prints it on the console afaik. Hence we went with the QR code copy solution.

You mean that was already a feature request for the WalletConnect team?

[miohtama]

Yes, I discussed this with someone in WalletConnect Discord a while ago. He was building a desktop app wallet.

[brentanon]

Hey! Yea, we asked for the URI feature to be able to link walletconnect to desktop, and same devices. I believe this was talked about here https://github.com/WalletConnect/walletconnect-monorepo/pull/353/files . I think this was what you were asking for
