Measured in a real app
A Vite React app first-loads 11.03 kB with Konekt, 145.74 kB with the official Ethereum Provider, and 721.26 kB with AppKit. React is marked external in all three.
konekt
A better WalletConnect client for performance-minded apps. A Vite React app first-loads 11.03 kB with Konekt, against 145.74 kB for the official provider and 721.26 kB with AppKit.
Konekt gives your app an EIP-1193-compatible provider backed by WalletConnect v2. It has no @walletconnect runtime dependency, and chain support is split into optional imports so unused code can stay out of your bundle.
A smaller, clearer connection layer
Section titled “A smaller, clearer connection layer”No runtime framework tax
Konekt has no @walletconnect runtime dependency. Add chain adapters, reads, authentication, and UI only when your app uses them.
Your stack stays in charge
Keep viem, wagmi, ethers, your RPCs, and your design system. Konekt owns WalletConnect sessions and requests—not the rest of your application.
Measured, not guessed
See the versioned bundle measurements and full comparison with Reown.
Read the comparison →Start with one provider
Call Provider.init() once, show the pairing QR, and wait for the user to approve the connection in their wallet.
Choose your networks
Add EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, or Cosmos networks. Konekt proposes only the networks and wallet methods you configure.
Bring your own UI—or use ours
Listen for a pairing URI and render it yourself, or install konekt-ui for a React wallet picker and QR modal.
Add sign-in when you need it
The optional SIWE feature requests authentication during pairing. Verify the signed result on your server.
Where to begin
Section titled “Where to begin”The guides are a path, from the easiest setup to full control. Take them in order:
- Getting started — a React app with a connect button, using konekt, konekt-ui, and wagmi.
- Design your own connect UI — your own buttons and dialogs on top of the pairing hooks.
- Plain JavaScript — the provider itself, with no framework and no UI package.
- Solana, Cosmos, Bitcoin, and Sui — the same provider beyond Ethereum.
- Everything together — one connection covering several ecosystems at once.
Or jump straight to what you need:
- Want to see it running first? Open the live showcase: pairing, every EIP-1193 method, kernel reads, and the event log.
- Already using
@walletconnect/ethereum-provider? Follow the migration guide. - Comparing clients? See why Konekt is better for versioned bundle measurements and architecture trade-offs.
- Configuring networks, reads, or request routing? Read Chains and networks.
- Using an EVM client library? Follow the viem, ethers, or wagmi integration guide.
- Using Next.js or another server-rendered framework? Read Frameworks and SSR.
- Configuring storage, timeouts, or diagnostics? Read Sessions and options.
- Keeping the initial page small? See the measured bundle sizes, tree-shaking, and lazy-loading patterns.
- Adding Sign-In with Ethereum? Read Authentication features.
- Something not working? Check Troubleshooting for every error Konekt throws.
- Looking up a type or function? Open the API reference.
