Multi-Chain Wallet BitKeep Has Officially Connected to WalletConnect 2.0

Validated Project

The Web 3.0 communication protocol WalletConnect has connected to the multi-chain wallet BitKeep, regarding BitKeep as a vital part of the “Wallet + DApp” ecosystem. Users can smoothly experience BitKeep wallet with WalletConnect by scanning the QR code on browsers or jumping to the APP through Deep Link to safely interact with all integrated DApps.

The BitKeep mobile terminal is now compatible with WalletConnect 1.0 and 2.0 versions. The implemented functions include the following:

Available for multi-chains such as EVM and Solana

DApp can initiate multi-chain connection requests at the same time

Reconnect when disconnected

Later versions will support Cosmos chain connections, switching between EVM chains on the authorized link page, multi-session, Chat, Push, etc.

Security is also considered as one of the critical factors. The connection between BitKeep and WalletConnect reduces the exposure of the mnemonic and private keys. Similar to a sandbox environment, it keeps mnemonic and private keys in the mobile device without exposing them to DApps. The new version is achievable for the connection with DApps and transaction signature.

It is understood that both WalletConnect and BitKeep were established in 2018 and have gone through bulls and bears markets multiple times. They are committed to building the infrastructure of the Crypto industry to help more users and developers enjoy the convenience brought by financial paradigms and innovations. According to BitKeep developer Jack, “WalletConnect is an unbiased protocol representing the consensus of stakeholders in the ecosystem. They provide all wallets and DApps with equal and open communication opportunities by end-to-end encrypted communication at the bottom layer.”

“Insufficient convenience will restrict ecosystem development, thus it is critical to solve internal communication in Web 3.0.” By accessing WalletConnect, BitKeep has obtained an efficient solution combining web and mobile terminals to improve interoperability with DApps and strengthen user connection.

The product optimizations of WalletConnect 2.0 are compatible with BitKeep wallet:

Multi-chain Support

Multi-chain has always been the primary function of the BitKeep wallet. It currently supports more than 70 mainstream public chains. With multi-chain development, the demand for cross-chain interaction is proliferating. WalletConnect 2.0 adds availability for Cosmos, Polkadot, Solana, and Near; and DApps can request multi-chain connections. BitKeep has authorized connections for Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana; and Cosmos authorization will be functional in the next version.

Pairing & Session Separation

In response to the frequent pairing of the previous version, the WalletConnect 2.0 protocol will cache previously paired wallets. It can be shared between applications in the same browser through an iframe without repeated scan code pairing all over again. This optimization can also improve the wallet connection for GameFi when using the BitKeep APP.

Security Risks Shield

Security is also considered as one of the critical factors. The connection between BitKeep and WalletConnect reduces the exposure of the mnemonic and private keys. Similar to a sandbox environment, it keeps mnemonic and private keys in the mobile device without exposing them to DApps. The new version is achievable for the connection with DApps and transaction signature.

BitKeep’s mission is to design products for the next billion Web 3.0 users. The alliance between BitKeep and WalletConnect is committed to deepening the connection between mobile and web terminals, as well as wallet and DApps, attracting more users and paving the way for mainstreaming Web 3.0 in the future.

  • Sonne Finance: This attack was a donation attack. We are investigating the attacker and have suspended the market.

    Sonne Finance released an attack analysis report. This was a donation attack. Sonne had avoided this problem in the past by adding a collateral factor of 0% to the market, adding collateral and then destroying it, and only then increasing c-factors according to the proposal. Sonne recently passed a proposal to add the VELO market to Sonne. This transaction was arranged on a multi-signature wallet, and c-factors were arranged to be executed within 2 days due to the time lock. When the 2-day time lock for creating the market ended, the attacker executed 4 of the transactions and then executed the transaction to add c-factors to the market. The attacker was able to use the protocol to obtain approximately $20 million in funds through a known donation attack. Seal contributors quickly noticed this issue and reserved approximately $6.5 million by adding VELO worth approximately $100 to the market. Sonne is investigating the attacker and has suspended the market to mitigate further losses. Sonne is prepared to offer a bounty to the attacker and promises not to pursue the issue further if the attacker returns the funds.

  • Sonne Finance confirms attack, but still has about $6.5 million in funds

    On May 15th, Sonne Finance announced that its Optimism protocol had suffered a known donation attack, resulting in a loss of approximately $20 million. The attack exploited a vulnerability in the newly launched market and within two days of its creation, the attacker used a multi-signature wallet and time-lock function to execute critical transactions, successfully manipulating the market's collateral factors (c-factors). Despite Sonne's team quickly organizing a response to the attack and suspending the market within 25 minutes of discovering the issue to minimize further losses, approximately $6.5 million in funds were still retained. Sonne's team is working hard to track down the identity of the attacker and has offered a bounty to the attacker in the hopes of returning the funds to avoid further investigation. At the same time, Sonne's team sincerely apologizes for this incident and is reaching out to all possible partners to try to recover the funds.
