Who it is for

  • React Native and Expo developers exploring a mobile wallet connection flow.
  • Developers adapting Metro configuration for Expo projects that depend on Node crypto packages.

Documented uses

  • Study or prototype a wallet connection and authentication screen in a React Native dapp.
  • Reference a Metro alias approach for handling WalletConnect’s Node crypto dependency in Expo.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The example is built on WalletConnect v1, which the repository says will stop working after June 28.
  • The repository recommends @web3modal/react-native for future development, but provides no evidence that this example has been ported or tested with it.
  • The README documents Yarn installation and starting the app with either yarn start or expo start.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
