Wallet infrastructure platform Dfns has been named one of the first providers to receive certification under WalletConnect's new Institutional Certified program.

The initiative is designed to create a higher standard for wallets catering to institutions, focusing on security, reliability, and user experience. By achieving this certification, Dfns-powered wallets are now recognized as trusted and verified endpoints when interacting with the 70,000+ applications and blockchains integrated with WalletConnect.

Key benefits for users and developers include:

• Automatic Verification: From day one, Dfns wallets receive trusted, verified identities across the WalletConnect ecosystem, eliminating ambiguity around signer authenticity.
• Seamless Flows: Smoother connection experiences with no additional integration work required for dApps.
• Enhanced Protection: Stronger safeguards against spoofed wallets, including a visible verification checkmark in the WalletConnect interface for transactions originating from certified sources.
• Clear Signing Signals: Particularly valuable for institutional players in trading, settlement, and liquidity access via Reown (formerly WalletConnect's app toolkit), reducing risks in high-stakes environments.

As institutional interest in blockchain grows, certifications like this are seen as critical steps toward bridging traditional finance and decentralized systems, potentially unlocking billions in locked capital wary of security risks.
