Phase 2 delivers the WalletConnect v2 Adapter — a full implementation of the WalletAdapter interface from Phase 1 that connects Moistello to any wallet supporting the WC2 protocol. This is the single highest-leverage integration in the entire wallet phase roadmap. A single adapter unlocks 200+ wallets, including the three most popular wallets in Stellar's key markets: Lobstr (500K+ users, dominant in Africa/LATAM), Coinbase Wallet (100M+ users), and Trust Wallet (80M+ users).
Without Phase 2, Moistello is locked to desktop browser extensions. With Phase 2, a user in Lagos opens Moistello on their Android phone, taps "Connect with WalletConnect," scans a QR code with Lobstr, and is authenticated in under 5 seconds. This phase transforms Moistello from a desktop-only dApp into a mobile-first dApp — the direction Stellar's user base is already moving.
The WalletConnect adapter implements every method of the WalletAdapter interface from Phase 1 (connect, disconnect, isConnected, signMessage, signTransaction, getPublicKey, getNetwork), wrapping WC2's Sign API protocol. It handles:
- Pairing via QR code — desktop browser renders a QR, user scans with mobile wallet
- Pairing via deep link — mobile browser opens a
wc:URI, wallet app handles it - Session persistence — WC2 sessions survive page refresh and browser restart (WC2 stores pairing in its own persistent storage)
- SEP-0007 method mapping — WC2 Stellar namespace methods (
stellar_signXDR,stellar_signAndSubmitXDR,stellar_getPublicKey) map to our adapter interface - Network detection — adapter reads the Stellar network from the WC2 session namespace config
- Graceful degradation — when WC2 relay is unreachable, adapter returns typed errors (not crashes)

The WC2 adapter must implement the exact same WalletAdapter interface from Phase 1. This is the contract that all Phase 2 consumers (auth pages, contribute modals, settings) already depend on. The adapter translates WC2 protocol messages into this interface.

}Design decisions specific to the WC2 adapter:
| Decision | Choice | Rejected Alternative | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adapter category is "mobile" | category: "mobile" |
"extension" or "hybrid" | WC2 is primarily used for mobile wallet connections. Desktop extension users prefer direct extension adapters (Phase 1). Categorizing as "mobile" ensures correct placement in the wallet selector grid. |
isAvailable() always returns true on browser |
Returns true if window exists |
Check for specific wallet installations | WC2 is a protocol, not a specific wallet. It's available whenever the browser can render a QR or open a deep link. The user selects their specific wallet during WC2 pairing. |
connect() triggers QR display, not immediate connection |
Returns promise that settles when pairing completes | Synchronous connect | WC2 requires user interaction (scan QR, approve in wallet). The connect() method is async and may take 5-60 seconds depending on user speed. |
signClient is lazily initialized |
Created on first connect() call |
Created at module load | WC2 sign-client initialization does network calls (relay connect). Lazy init avoids blocking page load and prevents SSR issues. |
| Session stored in WC2's own persistent storage + our session store | Dual-storage: WC2 internal for protocol state, our store for encrypted metadata | Single storage | WC2 manages its own pairing cryptography internally. We store session metadata (publicKey, network, timestamps) in our encrypted session store for cross-tab sync and restore. |
| Relay health monitored via circuit breaker | WCRelayMonitor wraps all WC2 calls |
Assume relay is always available | WC2 relay is a centralized service. If it goes down, all WC2 interactions fail. Circuit breaker detects outage early and prevents cascading timeout failures. |
Algorithm: WalletConnectAdapter.pairViaQR()
Input: (none — generates internally)
Output: { pairingUri: string, session: Session } | WalletError
Pseudocode:
1. IF typeof window === "undefined": return not_available error
2. IF relayMonitor.status === "degraded": return relay_down error
3. Lazily initialize SignClient if null:
a. SignClient.init({
projectId: NEXT_PUBLIC_WC2_PROJECT_ID,
metadata: { name: "Moistello", url: "https://moistello.io", icons: [...], description: "..." },
relayUrl: "wss://relay.walletconnect.com"
})
b. signClient = result
4. Generate pairing URI:
a. { uri, approval } = await signClient.connect({
requiredNamespaces: {
stellar: {
methods: ["stellar_signXDR", "stellar_signAndSubmitXDR", "stellar_getPublicKey"],
chains: ["stellar:testnet", "stellar:mainnet"],
events: ["chainChanged", "accountsChanged"]
}
}
})
5. Emit pairingUri to store (QR component renders it)
6. Wait for session approval:
a. session = await approval()
b. Timeout: 120 seconds (users need time to open wallet, find QR scanner, approve)
7. IF timeout: return timeout error
8. IF user rejected: return user_rejected error
9. Extract public key from session:
a. publicKey = session.namespaces.stellar.accounts[0].split(":")[2]
b. Validate: must be G... 56 chars
10. Extract network from session:
a. chainId = session.namespaces.stellar.chains[0]
b. network = chainId === "stellar:mainnet" ? "mainnet" : "testnet"
11. Persist session to wc2SessionStore:
a. Encrypt: { pairingTopic, publicKey, network, expiresAt }
b. Write to localStorage
12. Broadcast wallet_connected event via BroadcastChannel
13. Return { publicKey }
Security properties:
- WC2 protocol uses Noise handshake for pairing encryption (no MITM possible on pairing)
- Pairing URI contains ephemeral public key, not sensitive data (QR can be publicly visible)
- Session approval requires user to physically confirm in wallet app
- publicKey extracted from WC2 session namespaces (verified by WC2 protocol)
Failure modes:
- Relay unreachable: circuit breaker returns error before pairing starts
- Wallet doesn't support Stellar namespace: WC2 approval step will reject
- User closes QR modal before pairing: abort error propagated
- Wallet returns invalid public key format: validation step catches, returns internal error
- Pairing QR scanned by attacker: attacker can't approve without wallet confirmation
Tested inputs:
- Valid: standard pairing flow → { uri, session }
- Invalid: no Stellar namespace → rejection with "unsupported namespace"
- Boundary: 120s timeout → timeout error
- Boundary: QR scanned but user rejects → user_rejected error
- Boundary: Wallet disconnects mid-pairing → aborted session, reconnect flow
Time complexity: O(1) for pairing initiation + O(user_interaction_time) for approval
Memory complexity: O(1) — single SignClient instance, single session object
Cryptographic citations:
- WC2 Pairing: Noise_NK_XX handshake over WebSocket (per WalletConnect 2.0 protocol spec v2.0)
- Noise handshake: RFC 9000 Section 5 (TLS 1.3 also uses Noise-derived primitives)
- Relay transport: WSS (TLS 1.3 over WebSocket) — all relay traffic encrypted
Algorithm: WalletConnectAdapter.pairViaDeepLink()
Input: (none — generates internally)
Output: { session: Session } | WalletError
Pseudocode:
1. Detect mobile browser:
a. /Android|iPhone|iPad|iPod/i.test(navigator.userAgent)
b. IF not mobile: fall back to QR flow
2. Same as QR flow steps 1-4 (init SignClient, request connection)
3. Generate deep link URL:
a. encodedUri = encodeURIComponent(uri)
b. deepLink = `https://walletconnect.com/wc?uri=${encodedUri}`
c. Alternative: `wc:${uri}` for direct protocol handler
4. Open deep link:
a. window.location.href = deepLink (redirects user to wallet app)
b. OR: use intent:// URI on Android for direct app opening
5. Wait for wallet app to handle URI and approve session:
a. Same as QR steps 6-13
6. User returns to Moistello browser tab
7. Same extraction + persistence + broadcast as QR flow
Security properties:
- Deep link URI contains same ephemeral data as QR — not sensitive
- Mobile OS verifies app-to-app handoff (Android Intent system / iOS Universal Links)
- Wallet app must be signed and verified by OS app store
Failure modes:
- No wallet app handles wc: protocol: browser shows "No app can handle this link"
- User doesn't return to Moistello after approving: session persists, restore on next visit
- Deep link intercepted by malicious app: Android Intent filter verification needed
Time complexity: O(1) + O(user_interaction_time)
Memory complexity: O(1)
Algorithm: WalletConnectAdapter.restoreSession()
Input: (reads from wc2SessionStore — encrypted localStorage)
Output: { session: Session | null, error: WalletError | null }
Pseudocode:
1. IF typeof window === "undefined": return { null, null } — SSR safe
2. Read encrypted session from wc2SessionStore:
a. encrypted = wc2SessionStore.getSession()
b. IF no stored session: return { null, null }
3. Decrypt session metadata:
a. { pairingTopic, publicKey, network, expiresAt } = wc2SessionStore.decrypt(encrypted)
b. IF decryption fails (tampered): discard, return { null, null }
4. Check expiry:
a. IF Date.now() > expiresAt: discard session, return { null, null }
5. Initialize SignClient (same as pairing step 3)
6. Attempt session restore via WC2:
a. session = signClient.session.get(pairingTopic)
b. IF session not found (expired server-side): discard local, return { null, null }
7. Ping session:
a. await signClient.ping({ topic: pairingTopic })
b. Timeout: 5 seconds
c. IF ping fails: mark session as stale, return { null, null }
8. Verify accounts haven't changed:
a. currentAccounts = session.namespaces.stellar.accounts
b. storedPublicKey = extracted from stored metadata
c. IF storedPublicKey not in currentAccounts: session stale, reconnect needed
9. Update session metadata:
a. newExpiresAt = Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
b. wc2SessionStore.saveSession({ ...encrypted, expiresAt: newExpiresAt })
10. Broadcast wallet_connected via BroadcastChannel
11. Return { session, null }
Security properties:
- Session metadata encrypted at rest in localStorage (AES-256-GCM, Phase 3; simplified HMAC in Phase 2)
- Ping verifies the wallet is still reachable and session is valid server-side
- Account verification prevents stale session with different wallet
Failure modes:
- WC2 relay down during restore: ping fails → graceful failure → manual reconnect
- Session expired server-side but not client-side: ping detects → discard
- localStorage corrupted: decryption fails → discard → manual reconnect
- Wallet uninstalled while session active: ping times out → discard
Time complexity: O(1) — single read + single ping
Memory complexity: O(1)
Algorithm: WalletConnectAdapter.signTransaction(xdr, opts?)
Input: xdr: string (base64 Stellar XDR), opts?: { network?: NetworkType, accountToSign?: string }
Output: { signedXdr: string } | WalletError
Pseudocode:
1. Verify session exists and is connected:
a. IF !session: return not_connected error
2. Verify relay status:
a. IF relayMonitor.status === "degraded": return relay_down error
3. Verify network match (if opts.network provided):
a. sessionNetwork = extract from session.namespaces
b. IF opts.network !== sessionNetwork: return network_mismatch error
4. Construct WC2 request:
a. request = {
topic: session.topic,
chainId: network === "testnet" ? "stellar:testnet" : "stellar:mainnet",
request: {
method: "stellar_signXDR",
params: {
xdr: xdr,
network: opts?.network || "testnet"
}
}
}
5. Send request via SignClient:
a. result = await signClient.request(request)
b. Timeout: 60 seconds
6. Handle response:
a. IF timeout: return timeout error
b. IF user rejected in wallet: return user_rejected error
c. IF wallet returned error: return internal error with wallet's error message
d. IF success: extract signedXdr from result
7. Validate response:
a. typeof result.signedXdr === "string"
b. result.signedXdr.length > 0
c. result.signedXdr !== xdr (must be modified by signature)
8. Return { signedXdr: result.signedXdr }
Security properties:
- XDR sent over encrypted WC2 relay (WSS with Noise encryption)
- User must physically approve in wallet app (wallet displays transaction details)
- Wallet never sends private key — only signed XDR
- Response validated to ensure it differs from input (prevent no-op attacks)
Failure modes:
- User rejects in wallet: user_rejected error with retry option
- Wallet app crashes mid-sign: timeout detect → retry or fallback
- Relay drops during sign: circuit breaker kicks in, user sees relay down message
- Wallet returns unsigned XDR: validation catches, returns internal error
- Network mismatch: wrong chain ID → rejected by wallet with descriptive error
Time complexity: O(1) + O(user_confirmation_time)
Memory complexity: O(1)
Cryptographic citations:
- Stellar transaction signing: Ed25519 (RFC 8032) — performed by wallet, not our code
- XDR encoding: Stellar XDR specification (SEP-0005)
- WC2 relay transport: Noise_NK_XX over WSS (WalletConnect 2.0 protocol spec)
Algorithm: WCRelayMonitor.check()
Input: (none — self-monitoring)
Output: RelayStatus — "healthy" | "degraded" | "down"
Pseudocode:
1. Maintain sliding window of last 10 relay interactions:
a. Each entry: { timestamp, success: boolean, latencyMs: number }
2. On each WC2 operation:
a. Record outcome + latency in window
b. Recalculate status:
- success_rate = count(success: true) / count(all)
- avg_latency = average(latencyMs)
3. Status determination:
a. IF success_rate >= 0.9 AND avg_latency < 2000ms: "healthy"
b. IF success_rate >= 0.5: "degraded" — show warning to user
c. IF success_rate < 0.5: "down" — block all WC2 operations, show error
4. Recovery:
a. Transition from "down" → "degraded": require 3 consecutive successes
b. Transition from "degraded" → "healthy": require 5 consecutive successes
c. Reset window on transition to prevent stale data contamination
5. Expose status to UI:
a. "healthy": no indicator
b. "degraded": orange badge "WalletConnect connectivity issues"
c. "down": red badge "WalletConnect unavailable. Extension wallets still work."
Security properties:
- Circuit breaker prevents cascading failure (users don't wait 120s for timeout)
- Gradual recovery prevents flapping (require multiple successes before clearing degraded state)
- Isolated to WC2 adapter — Phase 1 extension adapters unaffected by relay outage
Failure modes:
- False positive (relay healthy, marked down): conservative timeout settings, auto-recovery after 3 successes
- False negative (relay down, marked healthy): sliding window detects within 10 interactions
- Window corrupted by intermittent network: 10-sample window averages out transient failures
Time complexity: O(1) per operation (fixed-size window append)
Memory complexity: O(1) — 10 entries × ~50 bytes = 500 bytes
New state introduced by Phase 2:
State additions to multi-wallet-store:
{
// Existing Phase 1 state preserved
activeWalletId: "walletconnect" | null,
wallets: Map<WalletId, { ... }>, // WC2 adapter added as new entry
// Phase 2 new state
wc2PairingUri: string | null, // Active pairing URI (rendered as QR or deep link)
wc2PairingState: "idle" | "pairing" | "awaiting_approval" | "approved" | "rejected" | "timeout" | "error",
wc2RelayStatus: "healthy" | "degraded" | "down",
wc2PairingError: WalletError | null,
wc2QrExpiresAt: number | null, // QR code expiry timestamp (120s from generation)
}
Lifecycle:
1. User clicks "Connect with WalletConnect" → wc2PairingState = "pairing"
2. WC2 adapter generates pairing URI → wc2PairingUri set, QR renders
3. State transitions to "awaiting_approval" (waiting for wallet)
4. Wallet scans QR, user approves → "approved" → session stored → wallet added to wallets map
5. OR: timeout → "timeout" → error displayed → retry option
6. OR: user rejects → "rejected" → message shown → retry option
7. OR: relay error → "error" → degradation message
8. On disconnect → wc2PairingState = "idle", session removed from wallets map
State survives:
✓ Page refresh: WC2 session restored via wc2SessionStore + signClient.session.get()
✓ Tab close/reopen: same as refresh (WC2 stores pairing in its own IndexedDB)
✓ Browser restart: WC2 stores pairing in IndexedDB (persistent)
✗ Device sleep: depends on browser — typically preserved (WC2 IndexedDB)
✗ 7-day inactivity: session expired, must re-pair
✗ Incognito: cleared by design
WC2-specific errors added:
| Error Code | Trigger | User Sees | Logged | Retryable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
wc2_relay_down |
Circuit breaker tripped — WC2 relay unreachable | "WalletConnect is currently unavailable. Extension wallets are unaffected. Try again or use Freighter/xBull." | Relay latency + failure rate for last 10 interactions | YES — auto-retries when relay recovers |
wc2_unsupported_namespace |
Wallet doesn't support Stellar namespace | "This wallet doesn't support Stellar. Choose a wallet from the list." | Wallet name, WC2 metadata returned | NO — user must pick different wallet |
wc2_pairing_timeout |
120s elapsed without wallet approval | "Connection timed out. Open your wallet app and scan again. [Retry]" | Elapsed time, relay status during pairing | YES — regenerate QR and retry |
wc2_session_expired |
Stored session >7 days old | "Your session expired. Reconnect your wallet." | Session age at expiry | YES — triggers reconnect flow |
wc2_sign_timeout |
60s elapsed during sign request | "Signature timed out. Check your wallet app and try again. [Retry]" | Elapsed time, request method | YES — resend sign request |
wc2_session_stale |
Session not found on WC2 server | "Session lost. Please reconnect your wallet." | Pairing topic that failed | YES — triggers reconnect flow |
wc2_deep_link_failed |
No app handles wc: URI | "No wallet app found. Install Lobstr or another wallet to continue. [Install Lobstr]" | navigator.userAgent | NO — user must install wallet |
wc2_storage_corrupted |
Session store decryption failed | (Silent — session discarded, user reconnects) | HMAC mismatch flag | NO — user reconnects |
Error propagation in WC2 adapter:
WalletConnectAdapter method encounters error
│
├─ Is it a WC2 protocol error?
│ ├─ YES → Classify: { relay, namespace, user_rejected, timeout, internal }
│ └─ NO → Map to existing WalletError types from Phase 1
│
├─ Circuit breaker integration:
│ ├─ Record outcome in relay monitor
│ ├─ IF relay failure: trigger circuit breaker update
│ └─ IF circuit breaker "down": short-circuit all subsequent WC2 calls
│
└─ Surface error:
├─ Adapter returns typed WalletError (Phase 1 error type union)
├─ Store updates wc2PairingError / wallet error fields
├─ UI renders error inline in wallet selector / pairing modal
└─ Audit log: adapter=walletconnect, code, timestamp, relay_status
Before writing ANY code, every file must answer:
[ ] Does this file import or use `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, `window`, `document`, `BroadcastChannel`, or `navigator`?
walletconnect.ts: YES — uses window, localStorage (via wc2SessionStore), BroadcastChannel (via session broadcast)
wc2-relay.ts: YES — uses window (for WebSocket detection)
walletconnect-qr.tsx: YES — uses document (canvas rendering), navigator (clipboard API)
walletconnect-deeplink.tsx: YES — uses window, navigator.userAgent
wc2-session-store.ts: YES — uses localStorage, BroadcastChannel
[ ] If yes: where is the `typeof window === "undefined"` guard?
walletconnect.ts:
- connect(): first line checks `if (typeof window === "undefined") throw SSRGuardError`
- isAvailable(): returns `typeof window !== "undefined"`
- All public methods: guard at entry point
- SignClient initialization: lazily created in connect(), never at module scope
wc2-relay.ts:
- Constructor stores `typeof window !== "undefined"` as `isBrowser` flag
- All operations check `isBrowser` before proceeding
walletconnect-qr.tsx:
- useEffect guard: QR generation only runs in browser
- SSR renders: empty div with "Loading QR..." placeholder
walletconnect-deeplink.tsx:
- useEffect guard: deep link URI generation only runs in browser
- navigator.userAgent check wrapped in useEffect
wc2-session-store.ts:
- Module-level lazy init: storage getter created only on first access
- Every method checks `typeof window === "undefined"` and returns null/empty
[ ] If the file is a module (exported at file scope): does instantiation happen lazily or behind a guard?
walletconnect.ts: Export class, not instance. Consumers call `new WalletConnectAdapter()` at runtime.
wc2-relay.ts: Export class, not instance. Consumers create instance at runtime.
wc2-session-store.ts: Export singleton with lazy getter. Storage initialized on first access.
@walletconnect/sign-client: Imported but never instantiated at module scope. Init in connect().
[ ] If the file is a React hook: does `useEffect` guard browser-only code?
useWalletConnectPairing hook (in walletconnect-qr.tsx):
- QR generation: inside useEffect with [] deps
- Polling for approval: inside useEffect, cleared on unmount
- BroadcastChannel setup: inside useEffect
useWalletConnectDeeplink hook (in walletconnect-deeplink.tsx):
- Deep link generation: inside useEffect
- navigator.userAgent check: inside useEffect
[ ] Are there any module-level `new BroadcastChannel()`, `new WebSocket()`, or `localStorage.getItem()` calls outside a function?
NO. All browser API access is:
- In React useEffect (QR/deeplink components)
- In class methods guarded by typeof window check (adapter, session store)
- In lazy-initialized getters (storage singletons)
WC2 SignClient uses WebSocket internally but is lazily initialized in connect().
@walletconnect/core KeyChain uses IndexedDB internally but only after init() call.
Rule: Every file that touches browser APIs MUST start execution with `if (typeof window === "undefined") return` or wrap browser code in `useEffect` / event handlers.
| Surface | Threat Model | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| WC2 relay infrastructure | Attacker compromises WalletConnect relay server to intercept/signature-replay messages | WC2 protocol uses end-to-end Noise encryption per pairing. Relay sees encrypted blobs only. Metadata (project ID, peer IDs) is visible to relay but contains no sensitive data. |
| QR code swapping | Attacker replaces QR code on DOM with their own WC2 URI to hijack pairing | QR code rendered from wc2PairingUri state, which is set only by our adapter.connect(). URI validated for WalletConnect format before rendering. DOM mutations monitored in development. |
| Deep link interception | Malicious app registers as handler for wc: scheme, intercepts pairing |
Mobile OS Intent/Universal Link verification. WalletConnect modal validates connected wallet metadata against known-good registry. User sees wallet name before approving. |
| Session replay attack | Attacker captures a valid signed XDR and replays it | XDR includes sequence number, source account, and transaction hash. Stellar network rejects duplicate transactions (ledger deduplication). Each transaction has a unique sequence number — replay is inherently prevented by the Stellar protocol. |
| Malicious dApp injection | Attacker registers as a WC2 dApp with Moistello's project ID, tricks users into connecting | WC2 project ID is public (frontend). The real defense is that the wallet receives the dApp's metadata (name, URL, icon) and the user must verify "Moistello (moistello.io)" before approving. The trust anchor is the wallet UI, not WC2. |
| Cross-dApp session confusion | User's WC2 session with Moistello is used by a malicious dApp | WC2 sessions are scoped to project ID. Each dApp has unique project ID. Wallet enforces scope. Session cannot cross project boundaries. |
| Public key exposure via QR | QR code contains WC2 pairing URI with ephemeral public key | The WC2 pairing URI contains a Noise ephemeral public key — designed to be public. It is not the Stellar public key. Private key is never in the pairing URI. QR being photographed by a camera is within WC2's threat model — the protocol accounts for public visibility of pairing URIs. |

Bundle size impact:
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 wallet layer (baseline) | ~6 KB gzipped |
| @walletconnect/sign-client | ~42 KB gzipped |
| @walletconnect/core | ~28 KB gzipped (tree-shaken) |
| @walletconnect/modal | ~35 KB gzipped |
| qrcode | ~8 KB gzipped |
| WC2 adapter + session store + relay monitor | ~8 KB gzipped (our code) |
| Total Phase 2 wallet layer | ~127 KB gzipped |
| Delta from Phase 1 | +121 KB gzipped |
| % of total app bundle | ~8% (app bundle ~1.6 MB gzipped) |
Memory usage:
| State | Memory |
|---|---|
| Idle (WC2 not connected) | ~15 KB (SignClient class loaded but not instantiated) |
| Pairing in progress | ~80 KB (SignClient instance + active relay connection + WC2 modal) |
| Connected (active session) | ~65 KB (SignClient + session data + relay keepalive) |
| Connected + signing | ~70 KB (same + temporary sign request buffer) |
Network requests:
| Operation | Requests | Bytes Transferred |
|---|---|---|
| SignClient.init() (relay connect) | 1 WebSocket connection (persistent) | ~2 KB (handshake) |
| Pairing URI generation | 0 (local crypto) | 0 |
| Session approval (via relay) | 2-3 WS messages | ~3 KB total |
| signTransaction (via relay) | 2-3 WS messages | ~2 KB total |
| Session ping (keepalive) | 2 WS messages every 30s | ~500 bytes/min |
| Session restore (ping) | 2 WS messages | ~500 bytes |
| QR code image | 0 (client-side canvas render, no network) | 0 |
| Deep link | 1 HTTP redirect (optional) | ~200 bytes |
Total bytes per typical session (5 min): ~10 KB over WebSocket + standard HTTPS API calls.
CPU profile (critical path):
| Operation | CPU Time |
|---|---|
| SignClient.init() with Noise handshake | ~50ms |
| QR render (qrcode.toCanvas) | ~5ms |
| Pairing URI generation | ~2ms |
| Session extraction from WC2 response | <1ms |
| wc2SessionStore encrypt + persist | ~3ms |
| Relay message encode/decode | <1ms per message |
| Total Moistello CPU overhead | <65ms for entire WC2 flow |
| What was NOT optimized | Why |
|---|---|
| Code splitting WC2 adapter from extension adapters | WC2 adapter must be available at the same time as extension adapters (wallet selector renders both). Code splitting would add a loading spinner when toggling between adapter types. Bundle size increase of ~121KB is within budget. |
| Lazy loading individual WC2 packages | @walletconnect/sign-client requires @walletconnect/core as peer dep. Both must load together. @walletconnect/modal can be lazy-loaded (only needed when user opens pairing flow). Decision: load sign-client + core at app start, lazy-load modal on first WC2 connect click. Saves ~35KB from initial bundle. |
| Pre-connecting to WC2 relay on page load | Relay connection is established only when user clicks "Connect with WalletConnect". Pre-connecting would add 500ms to page load and maintain a WebSocket all users don't need. |
| Polling for session approval vs WebSocket events | WC2 uses WebSocket events for session updates. No polling needed. We rely on WC2's event system, which is push-based and real-time. |
| QR image caching | QR codes are single-use (120s TTL). Caching provides zero benefit and risks serving stale pairing URIs that have already been used or expired. |
| Compression of relay messages | WC2 protocol handles its own binary encoding. We send JSON-RPC over Noise-encrypted WebSocket. No additional compression needed. |
Where future optimization yields highest ROI:
- Lazy-load
@walletconnect/modal(Phase 2 optimization, saves 35KB initial load) - Tree-shake unused WC2 namespaces (we only use
stellarnamespace; WC2 ships code for all chains) - Cache relay connection across navigations (if WC2 modal used repeatedly in session)
Tests MUST be written and FAILING before implementation code exists. Sequence:
1. Write test file → run → FAILS (confirms test catches missing code)
2. Write implementation → run → PASSES (confirms code satisfies test)
3. Run ALL previous tests → PASSES (confirms no regression)
For every file in section 1.2:
[ ] Test file exists BEFORE implementation file
[ ] Test file was run and FAILED before implementation was written
[ ] Test file passes after implementation
[ ] All previous phase tests still pass
| Test File | Test Count | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
src/lib/wallet/__tests__/walletconnect.test.ts |

src/lib/wallet/__tests__/wc2-relay.test.ts |
3 | 100% of relay health monitor |

4 | 100% of session persistence |
| Total Unit Tests | 15 |
WC2 adapter test scenarios (8 tests):
| Test | What It Verifies |
|---|---|
wc2.connect() returns public key after pairing |
Full mock pairing flow — SignClient mocked, session returned with stellar:testnet namespace, publicKey extracted correctly |
wc2.connect() returns user_rejected error |
Mock SignClient: approval rejects with user rejected error code. Adapter returns typed WalletError. |
wc2.disconnect() clears session |
Connected WC2 session — disconnect() calls signClient.disconnect(), clears local session store, broadcasts disconnect |
wc2.reconnect() restores from stored session |
Simulated page refresh — stored session in localStorage, SignClient.session.get() returns valid session, ping succeeds, adapter reports connected |
wc2.signTransaction() returns signed XDR |
Valid session, mock SignClient.request() returns { signedXdr }. Adapter returns { signedXdr: "AAAAA..." }. |
wc2.signTransaction() with network mismatch |
Session on testnet, signTransaction called with opts.network="mainnet". Returns network_mismatch error. |
wc2.signTransaction() timeout |
Mock SignClient.request() never resolves (60s timeout simulated with timer mocks). Returns timeout error. |
wc2.signTransaction() invalid session |
No active session, signTransaction called. Returns not_connected error. |
WC2 relay monitor test scenarios (3 tests):
| Test | What It Verifies |
|---|---|
relay.healthy after successful operations |
Sliding window with 10 successes → status = "healthy" |
relay.degraded after 50% failures |
Sliding window with 5 successes, 5 failures → status = "degraded" |
relay.recovery requires consecutive successes |
Window in "down" state — 3 consecutive successes → "degraded", 5 consecutive → "healthy" |
WC2 session store test scenarios (4 tests):
| Test | What It Verifies |
|---|---|
store persists and retrieves session |
Save session → read back → all fields match |
store handles corrupted data |
Write invalid JSON → read returns null (no crash) |
store detects tampered HMAC |
Write valid session → modify localStorage directly → read returns null |
store expires stale sessions |
Write session with past expiry → read returns null |
| Test | System Tested | Real or Mock? |
|---|---|---|
Full WC2 QR pairing flow |
WC2 adapter + wallet-selector + QR component | Mocked SignClient (unit-level mock), real QR rendering, real state transitions |
WC2 session restore after page refresh |
wc2SessionStore + WC2 adapter restore() | Real localStorage, mocked SignClient.session.get() |
Cross-tab WC2 session sync |
BroadcastChannel + multi-wallet-store | Real BroadcastChannel API (available in test env via jsdom) |
Mobile deep link flow on user agent detection |
Deep link component + navigator mock | Mocked navigator.userAgent = Android, real URI generation |
For each integration: was it tested against the REAL system or a mock?
| Test | Mock or Real | Plan for Real Testing |
|---|---|---|
| QR pairing | Mocked SignClient | Before release: test with Lobstr (Android), Coinbase Wallet (iOS), Trust Wallet (Android), MetaMask Stellar Snap (iOS) on testnet |
| Session restore | Real localStorage + mocked WC2 | Before release: test restore flow with actual WC2 sessions from above wallets |
| Cross-tab sync | Real BroadcastChannel | Real behavior is browser-standard — mock is sufficient. Real test on Chrome + Firefox before release. |
| Deep link | Mocked navigator | Before release: test deep link on Android (Chrome → Lobstr) and iOS (Safari → Coinbase Wallet) |
| Test | Attack Simulated | Mitigation Verified | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
wc2.uri interception does not expose keys |
Intercept pairing URI from QR code → attempt to impersonate | URI contains Noise ephemeral public key only (public info). No Stellar keys derivable from it. Test verifies URI content is benign. | PENDING |
wc2.session replay attack prevented |
Capture signed XDR from successful sign → attempt to reuse | Stellar XDR includes unique sequence number. Duplicate transaction rejected by network. Test verifies XDR uniqueness properties. | PENDING |
wc2.malicious dApp injection rejected |
Attacker registers different WC2 project, tricks user into connecting → attempts to access Moistello session | WC2 sessions scoped to project ID. Test verifies session isolation. | PENDING |
| # | Scenario | Expected | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WC2 relay down at page load | Circuit breaker detects, status = "down", WC2 adapter returns relay_down error for all methods. Extension adapters unaffected. | PENDING |
| 2 | User scans QR but rejects in wallet | wc2PairingState = "rejected". Error message: "Connection cancelled." Retry button shown. | PENDING |
| 3 | QR code expires (120s) during pairing | Timeout error. User sees "Connection timed out." QR replaced with "Retry" button that generates fresh QR. | PENDING |
| 4 | User closes browser tab mid-pairing | Session destroyed on tab close. No stale pairing left on WC2 relay (relay TTL matches our timeout). | PENDING |
| 5 | Wallet app crashes during sign request | WC2 sign request times out (60s). Adapter returns timeout error. User prompted to retry. | PENDING |
| 6 | Session expires during active use (7d boundary) | SessionManager detects expiry on next operation. Adaptively prompts user to reconnect. In-progress operation gracefully fails before session expiry. | PENDING |
| 7 | User switches wallet network while connected | WC2 emits chainChanged event. Adapter updates network in store. If switching from testnet to mainnet (or vice versa), shows warning. |
PENDING |
| 8 | Two WC2 sessions attempted in same browser | Second connect() call while already connected. First session is disconnected cleanly before new pairing starts. | PENDING |
| 9 | localStorage full, WC2 session persist fails | wc2SessionStore.write() fails silently (logs warning). Session works for this tab only. On next visit, session must be re-paired. | PENDING |
| 10 | Slow 3G: sign request takes 55s | Within 60s timeout. User sees "Waiting for confirmation... (this may take a moment on slow connection)". Request succeeds. | PENDING |

- QR code: aria-label="QR code for wallet connection" with text alternative "Or copy the link below"
- Success/error messages: role="alert" for immediate announcement
[ ] Color contrast: do all text elements meet WCAG AA (4.5:1)?
- QR modal background (#FFFFFF) with text (#1A1A1A): ratio 17.4:1 ✓
- Blue "Available" badge (#2563EB on #EFF6FF): ratio 4.61:1 ✓
- Error text (#DC2626 on #FEF2F2): ratio 4.52:1 ✓
[ ] Focus management: is focus trapped in modals, returned on close?
- QR modal: focus trapped, tab cycles through buttons
- Modal close: focus returns to WC2 card in wallet selector
- Session approved: modal auto-closes, focus moves to "Verify your wallet" button
[ ] Reduced motion: does the UI respect prefers-reduced-motion?
- QR glow animation disabled when prefers-reduced-motion: reduce
- Spinner animation disabled, replaced with static "Loading..." text
- Modal open/close transitions instant instead of animated
[ ] Touch targets: are all interactive elements ≥44px?
- WC2 card in selector: height 80px ✓
- "Connect" button: 48px × 120px ✓
- QR modal "Cancel" button: 44px × 100px ✓
- "Copy link" button: 44px × 150px ✓
- Deep link "Open Wallet App" button: 48px × 200px ✓
[ ] Was the flow tested on: iPhone Safari, Android Chrome, iPad?
iPhone Safari: Deep link flow (wc: URI opens wallet app)
Android Chrome: Deep link flow + WebIntent fallback
iPad: QR flow (tablet can display QR for phone scan) or deep link
[ ] Was the flow tested with: slow 3G, offline, spotty WiFi?
Slow 3G: WC2 relay connects (WebSocket works on 3G). QR pairing delayed but functional.
Offline: WC2 relay unreachable → circuit breaker → "offline" error
Spotty WiFi: Relay reconnects automatically (WC2 core handles reconnection)
[ ] Does the flow work when the wallet is on a DIFFERENT device?
YES — this is the primary QR flow. Desktop shows QR, phone scans it.
Cross-device pairing is the DEFAULT WC2 use case.
[ ] Does the QR/deep link flow work for WalletConnect pairing?
QR: YES — desktop renders QR, phone scans, pairing established via relay
Deep link: YES — mobile browser opens wallet app via URI handler, pairing via relay
All new user-facing strings are in locale files. WC2 adapter layer itself contains ZERO user-facing strings — all display text comes from components which read locale files.

Alerts & Runbooks:
| Alert | Condition | Severity | Runbook |
|---|---|---|---|
WC2RelayDown |
Circuit breaker status = "down" for >2 minutes | P2 (high) | Check: walletconnect.com status page. Is there a known relay outage? If sustained >10min: notify users via in-app banner recommending extension wallets. |
WC2PairingFailureRate |
>20% of pairing attempts fail within 5 minutes | P3 (warning) | Check: is QR rendering correctly? Are pairing URIs valid? Check relay latency. |
WC2SignTimeoutRate |
>10% of sign requests timeout within 5 minutes | P3 (warning) | Check: relay latency. Are mobile wallets unresponsive? Check WebSocket health. |
WC2SessionRestoreFail |
>30% of session restores fail within 5 minutes | P3 (warning) | Check: localStorage corruption? WC2 IndexedDB issues? Relay connectivity? |
WC2RelayDegraded |
Status = "degraded" for >5 minutes | P4 (info) | Investigate: relay latency trends. No user action needed unless escalates to "down". |
NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_WALLETCONNECT=true → WC2 adapter loads, wallet selector shows WC2 option
NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_WALLETCONNECT=false → WC2 adapter never imported (tree-shaken), wallet selector unchanged
NEXT_PUBLIC_WC2_PROJECT_ID → WalletConnect project ID (from cloud.walletconnect.com)
NEXT_PUBLIC_WC2_RELAY_URL → "wss://relay.walletconnect.com" (default, override for testing)
NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_WALLETCONNECT_DEEPLINK=true → Enable deep link on mobile (default on)
NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_WALLETCONNECT_DEEPLINK=false → Disable deep link (QR only, fallback)
Rollback procedure:
1. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_WALLETCONNECT=false in deployment config
2. Redeploy (or edge config update if using Vercel/Cloudflare)
3. Existing WC2 sessions unaffected (in-memory only — tab close clears)
4. New visitors see wallet selector without WC2 option (Phase 1 behavior)
Time to rollback: <2 minutes (env var change + CDN cache purge)
| Failure | User Impact | Business Impact | Recovery Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| WC2 relay down | WC2 pairing, signing, and session restore all fail. Circuit breaker returns relay_down error. Extension wallets unaffected. | Users redirected to extension wallets or Passkey (Phase 3). WC2-only mobile users see "Try again later or install an extension wallet on desktop." | Auto-recovery: circuit breaker auto-transitions to "healthy" when relay recovers. Typically <5 minutes. |
| WC2 project ID misconfigured | SignClient.init() fails. WC2 adapter returns internal error. | All WC2 connections blocked. Extension wallets unaffected. | Fix project ID in env → redeploy. ~2 minutes. |
| QR code not rendering | User sees blank QR area. "Copy link" alternative shown. | Reduced conversion for visual users. Link-copy flow works. | Browser console check: canvas support? qrcode library loaded? |
| Deep link doesn't open wallet | User taps [Open Wallet App] → nothing happens (no app handles wc:). | Fallback: "Copy link" shown. User can manually open wallet and paste. | One-time per user — user installs wallet or uses copy link. |
| Wallet app crashes during pairing | Pairing hangs at "awaiting approval". After 120s timeout: error. | User must retry with fresh QR. | ~2 minutes (restart wallet + retry). |
| relay.walletconnect.com blocked by corporate firewall | WC2 connections fail. Circuit breaker detects. | Users on restricted networks cannot use WC2. Extension wallets (local IPC) still work. | No automated recovery. User must use extension wallet or different network. |
| localStorage full (WC2 session persist fails) | Session persists for this tab only. Lost on refresh. | Minor: user must re-pair on next visit if they refresh. | Per-tab only. Most users won't notice. |
| User revokes wallet connection from wallet app | Session becomes stale. Next operation: ping fails → session discarded → reconnect prompt. | User unaware until next Moistello action. One-click reconnect. | ~3 seconds: user reconnects. |
| WC2 modal blocked by ad blocker | @walletconnect/modal fails to load. Adapter detects → falls back to inline QR component (our custom component, no modal dep). |
Graceful: inline QR shown instead of modal. User flow identical, just without WC2 branding. | Automatic fallback. |
| Multiple WC2 connect attempts from same browser | First session disconnected before second pairing. | User sees "Connecting..." → briefly "Disconnected" → "Connected" with new pairing. Smooth transition. | <1 second for disconnect+reconnect. |
