PartyLayer, the open-source wallet connectivity and developer experience layer for Canton dApps, has integrated WalletConnect, adding another connection path for developers building applications on Canton Network.
The integration extends PartyLayer’s existing support for multiple Canton wallets, including Console, Send, Loop, Cantor8, Nightly, and Bron. For developers, this means broader wallet connectivity options and smoother onboarding flows without needing to rebuild separate wallet integration logic for every wallet or transport layer. Further integrations are also planned.
PartyLayer was built to solve a specific friction point in Canton application development. Without a unified application-layer tooling layer, dApp teams often need to handle different wallet APIs, manage CIP-0103 alignment, build custom connection interfaces, and normalize errors across different transport patterns such as popup flows, postMessage, deep links, QR codes, hosted wallets, and injected providers.
PartyLayer simplifies this by providing a unified developer-facing interface for Canton wallet integrations, while staying aligned with CIP-0103 and the broader Canton wallet connectivity direction.
The SDK implements the core CIP-0103 method and event surface with a typed error model, giving developers a more consistent way to build wallet connection flows across Canton applications. It is built TypeScript-first, with typed APIs and developer-friendly tooling across the integration surface.
For React developers, PartyLayer also offers a simple integration experience through PartyLayerKit and ConnectButton. Developers can add wallet connectivity to a React application with minimal boilerplate, while still keeping flexibility for custom UI and application-specific flows.
Token transfer flows are designed around the Canton Network Token Standard, including CIP-0056-aligned patterns for transfer instructions and related token interactions.
Wallet discovery is handled through PartyLayer’s registry-based wallet discovery layer, helping developers surface supported wallets in a more structured and consistent way. The current wallet support includes Console, Send, Loop, Cantor8, Nightly, and Bron, with ongoing work to expand and improve integrations as more wallets move toward native CIP-0103 support.
PartyLayer also includes a customizable theme system with support for light, dark, and auto modes, making it easier for teams to create wallet connection experiences that fit their own application design.
PartyLayer is MIT licensed and available on GitHub. The team is continuing development across wallet connectivity, UI/UX, CIP-0103 alignment, and additional ecosystem integrations.
