        nativeCurrency: {
          name: 'Test OPN',
          symbol: 'OPN',
          decimals: 18
        },
        rpcUrls: ['https://testnet-rpc.iopn.tech'],

WalletConnect Integration

WalletConnect allows you to connect any compatible wallet to DApps.

For DApp Developers

import WalletConnectProvider from "@walletconnect/web3-provider";
import Web3 from "web3";

// Initialize WalletConnect
const provider = new WalletConnectProvider({
  rpc: {
    984: "https://testnet-rpc.iopn.tech",
  },
  chainId: 984,
});

// Enable session
await provider.enable();

// Create Web3 instance
const web3 = new Web3(provider);

// Now you can use web3 as normal
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();

For Users

  1. Open DApp that supports WalletConnect

  2. Click Connect Wallet → WalletConnect

  3. Scan QR Code with your mobile wallet

  4. Approve Connection in your wallet

Programmatic Wallet Connection

Detect Installed Wallets

// Check for injected wallets
function getInstalledWallets() {
  const wallets = [];
  
  if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
    // MetaMask or compatible
    if (window.ethereum.isMetaMask) {
      wallets.push('MetaMask');
    }
    
    // Coinbase Wallet
    if (window.ethereum.isCoinbaseWallet) {
      wallets.push('Coinbase Wallet');
    }
    
    // Trust Wallet
    if (window.ethereum.isTrust) {
      wallets.push('Trust Wallet');
    }
  }
  
  return wallets;
}

Universal Connection Handler

class WalletConnector {
  constructor() {
    this.provider = null;
    this.accounts = [];
    this.chainId = null;
  }
  
  async connect() {
    // Check if wallet is installed
    if (typeof window.ethereum === 'undefined') {
      throw new Error('No wallet detected. Please install MetaMask!');
    }
    
    try {
      // Request account access
      this.accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ 
        method: 'eth_requestAccounts' 
      });
      
      // Get chain ID
      this.chainId = await window.ethereum.request({ 
        method: 'eth_chainId' 
      });
      
      // Check if on OPN Chain
      if (parseInt(this.chainId, 16) !== 984) {
        await this.switchToOPN();
      }
      
      // Set provider
      this.provider = window.ethereum;
      
      // Setup event listeners
      this.setupEventListeners();
      
      return this.accounts[0];
      
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to connect:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
  
  async switchToOPN() {
    try {
      await window.ethereum.request({
        method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
        params: [{ chainId: '0x3d8' }],
      });
    } catch (switchError) {
      // Chain not added yet
      if (switchError.code === 4902) {
        await this.addOPNNetwork();
      }
    }
  }
  
  async addOPNNetwork() {
    await window.ethereum.request({
      method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
      params: [{
        chainId: '0x3d8',
        chainName: 'OPN Testnet',
        nativeCurrency: {
          name: 'Test OPN',
          symbol: 'OPN',
          decimals: 18
        },
        rpcUrls: ['https://testnet-rpc.iopn.tech'],
        blockExplorerUrls: []
      }],
    });
  }
  
  setupEventListeners() {
    window.ethereum.on('accountsChanged', (accounts) => {
      this.accounts = accounts;
      console.log('Accounts changed:', accounts);
    });
    
    window.ethereum.on('chainChanged', (chainId) => {
      this.chainId = chainId;
      console.log('Chain changed:', chainId);
      // Reload page on chain change
      window.location.reload();
    });
  }
  
  async disconnect() {
    // Note: There's no real "disconnect" in injected wallets
    // This is more for cleaning up state
    this.provider = null;
    this.accounts = [];
    this.chainId = null;
  }
}

// Usage
const wallet = new WalletConnector();
const account = await wallet.connect();
console.log('Connected account:', account);

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Verify Network Details

    • Always double-check RPC URL

    • Confirm Chain ID is 984

    • Only use official URLs

  2. Protect Your Keys

    • Never share private keys

    • Never enter seed phrase on websites

    • Use hardware wallets for large amounts

  3. Check Transaction Details

    • Verify recipient address

    • Check gas fees

    • Understand what you're signing

For Developers

  1. Always Request Permissions

    // Bad - assumes permission
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();

// Good - requests permission
const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ 
  method: 'eth_requestAccounts' 
});

  2. Handle Network Changes

    window.ethereum.on('chainChanged', (chainId) => {
  if (parseInt(chainId, 16) !== 984) {
    alert('Please switch to OPN Network');
  }
});

  3. Validate User Input

    function isValidAddress(address) {
  return /^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$/.test(address);
}

Common Issues

MetaMask Not Detected

// Wait for page load
if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {
  detectMetaMask();
} else {
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', detectMetaMask);
}

function detectMetaMask() {
  if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
    console.log('MetaMask detected!');
  } else {
    console.log('Please install MetaMask!');
    window.open('https://metamask.io/download/', '_blank');
  }
}

Network Addition Failed

async function forceAddNetwork() {
  try {
    // Try to switch first
    await window.ethereum.request({
      method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
      params: [{ chainId: '0x3d8' }],
    });
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code === 4902) {
      // Add network with retry
      let retries = 3;
      while (retries > 0) {
        try {
          await window.ethereum.request({
            method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
            params: [OPN_NETWORK_CONFIG],
          });
          break;
        } catch (addError) {
          retries--;
          if (retries === 0) throw addError;
          await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Mobile Connection Issues

For mobile DApps, use deep linking:

function connectMobileWallet() {
  const dappUrl = window.location.href;
  const metamaskAppUrl = `https://metamask.app.link/dapp/${dappUrl}`;
  
  // Detect mobile
  const isMobile = /iPhone|iPad|iPod|Android/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
  
  if (isMobile && !window.ethereum) {
    window.location.href = metamaskAppUrl;
  }
}
