In the Web3 space, security issues have always been a focal point of concern. However, most current discussions on security remain superficial, such as "avoiding blind signing" and "checking domain names." In reality, the most challenging security threats often come from covert attacks like device intrusions, environment hijacking, or communication tampering by man-in-the-middle attacks.

To address these deep-seated security vulnerabilities, WalletConnect has the potential to introduce an innovative solution—integrating "device attestation" as a standard feature of the connection protocol. This means that when establishing a connection, it is necessary not only to verify the source of the DApp but also to quickly assess the current trustworthiness of the device.

Imagine a scenario where a user is about to perform an important authorization transaction. In this process, the wallet will silently provide a hardware or platform proof in the background. This proof may originate from the security chip of the mobile phone, TPM module, WebAuthn authentication, or system-level security service. Subsequently, Service Nodes or the validation layer will perform real-time verification of this proof and return a risk assessment result to the DApp.

If high risk is detected, the system will display additional warnings or require stricter multi-confirmation. Conversely, in low-risk situations, users can enjoy a smoother operational experience. The core advantage of this approach is that it effectively reduces the fraud risk caused by device infections while fully protecting user privacy. The system only transmits assertions such as "Is the device trustworthy/compliant with security standards?" without exposing specific device data.

In terms of economic models and governance, there are also feasible implementation paths. For example, the capability for credibility verification can be commercialized, allowing certified attestation providers (or edge audit nodes) to obtain verification qualifications and corresponding rewards by staking $WCT tokens.

This innovative security mechanism not only significantly enhances the overall security of the Web3 ecosystem but also provides users with a more安心 and smoother user experience, promoting the industry to develop in a more mature and trustworthy direction.
