Moonstake is excited to announce we have become strategic partners with the leading multi-purpose blockchain domain solution Unstoppable Domains to simplify the crypto experience across the Web3 ecosystem. With the new integration, our users can now use a single “crypto username” to make transactions to others as well as applications and services supported by Unstoppable Domains. Conveniently send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and USDT cryptocurrencies using one simple custom “name” instead of juggling between multiple complicated crypto addresses.

With a single Unstoppable Domain name, make transactions of BTC, ETH, ADA, and USDT hassle-free on Moonstake Wallet. Instead of having to share multiple long, alphameric addresses to send and receive, you can just use a simplified, easily readable domain name. Unstoppable Domains are built on the Crypto Name Service (CNS) on Ethereum, issued as ERC-721 tokens that grant user irrevocable ownership of the domains they have created. This means that users are always in full control of their domain and assets and can manage their domain from any compatible wallet, exchange, marketplace, or any other Web3 applications that support this standard.

 

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake, says:

“We are thrilled to partner Unstoppable Domains to simplify crypto transactions for users worldwide. With the human-readable, customized domain name to replace long, complex crypto addresses, Moonstake hopes to improve the experience of crypto users by eliminating user error in your everyday crypto interactions. We are happy to be a strategic partner of the Unstoppable Domains ecosystem to help deliver a frictionless Web3 experience for global users while empowering you to always be in control of your assets.”

Moonstake started the staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Currently, Moonstake supports 18 leading PoS assets including Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs (Ethereum and Polygon), IOST, TRON, Shiden, FIO, Everscale, Oasisa and Solana.

Meanwhile, Unstoppable Domains enables seamless connection to Web3 through the use of blockchain domains. Purchasing your own Unstoppable Domain allows you to have a blockchain-connected web address that turns multiple crypto addresses into one human-readable name that can also connect with  exchanges, marketplaces, and other Web3 applications. This greatly simplifies crypto interactions by eliminating user errors when handling many lengthy randomized public keys. The purchased Unstoppable Domain is also in your full control, as you can transfer, upload, and link it to any compatible services and platform, such as Moonstake.

Crypto applications are now more popular than ever. In Q4 2021 alone, new installs of crypto apps skyrocketed by 902% year-on-year .With the recent FTX collapse further eroding trust in centralized platforms, there is now renewed interest and demand for decentralized services. 

To access dApps and DeFi services on multiple blockchains, you can use crypto wallets that integrates with WalletConnect. Moonstake is one such wallet that supports WalletConnect, as well as 17 leading PoS chains, each with their own DApp ecosystems. In this article, let’s learn more about the WalletConnect protocol and how to use it to access your favorite apps and services on Moonstake Wallet!

What is WalletConnect

WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that establishes a remote, encrypted connection between crypto wallets and dApps of multiple supported blockchains like Ethereum and Cosmos.

As of v2, WalletConnect supports connecting to multiple chains at once, decentralized messaging between compatible wallets, and direct push notifications that notify users of incoming transactions. This makes it a secure and convenient solution to access dApps especially using handy mobile wallets.

How WalletConnect Works

Currently, WalletConnect supports connection between more than 170 wallets, including Moonstake, and 450 dApps like Uniswap and Aave. Users of a compatible wallet can scan the QR code of the compatible DApp to start paying for dApp transactions with their wallet funds and confirm transactions with the wallet.

Is WalletConnect Safe?

WalletConnect uses a shared key between the two peers to develop a symmetrically encrypted connection, where information is only transmitted between them and securely encrypted. No third party has access to this key This is claimed to be safer than connecting with browser extensions like MetaMask.

How to Use WalletConnect on Moonstake

Both the mobile and web versions of Moonstake Wallet support WalletConnect, allowing users to connect to various DeFi and dApps without any restrictions on devices or browsers. In this detailed step-by-step guide, we will use the mobile wallet as the example.

  1. Go to the top right menu to access “Settings”.
  2. Click the “Wallet Connect” button.
  3. Scan the QR code displayed on the DeFi / dApps side of the connection.
  4. Click “Connect” to start the connection.
  5. Once connected, you can start confirming transactions made on the DApp using your wallet. Your wallet funds will be used for these transactions. To stop, simply click “Disconnect” and confirm.

Note:

  • With the Moonstake mobile wallet, the QR code needs to be scanned with a camera to access DeFi / dApps, therefore the DeFi / dApps service cannot be opened on the same device and connected to it. Please display the QR code to connect to DeFi / dApps on another device, and scan the QR code from the mobile device to access the service.
  • While using WalletConnect, exiting the connected screen will disconnect you from the DApp. You can stay on the connected screen and approve transactions there.
  • The dApps will support its own set of chains, so you will not see all of your funds on Moonstake Wallet on the DApp, only the balance of the coins the DApp support. For example, Uniswap only supports Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Celo.

 

How to Ensure Safe Transactions When Using WalletConnect

WalletConnect is a secure solution to access dApps but it is by no means foolproof. There is always a user risk when interacting with any online application. As with any crypto transaction, check that the recipient address and transaction amount are correct before confirming it. This is to ensure that the dApp isn’t altering the transaction details with any intention of sending a malicious transaction, especially if you are using a more obscure dApp. Make sure to DYOR on dApps before trying out any of them. You can consult DApp data aggregators and ranking sites to see how active and trusted the app is.

Additionally, it’s a good practice to disconnect your wallet from the dApp once you’re finished with your transaction. You must also make sure that you’re accessing the dApp with a secure, trusted URL. And if you are using public WiFi, turn on VPN to keep yourself protected.

Moonstake also natively supports the Shiden dApp Store natively for users looking to stake with Shiden dApps via an official app store without needing to use WalletConnect. Follow us on Twitter and Telegram for the latest updates on Moonstake news!
