What is Reown and how does it enable blockchain app developers?
Building an onchain app used to mean stitching together a wallet library, an authentication provider, an onramp partner, a swap integration, and a separate analytics stack — each with its own SDK, its own uptime risk, and its own integration surface. Even then, you'd likely end up with a fragmented experience that confused users and slowed down your team every time you tried to ship a new feature.
That's the problem Reown was built to solve. Backed by WalletConnect's infrastructure and its network of 70,000+ apps and 500+ wallets, Reown is a single SDK that gives app builders everything they need to onboard users, accept payments, support multiple chains, and track performance — without having to bolt five tools together to get there.
What is Reown?
Reown is WalletConnect's product platform for crypto-enabled app builders, providing onboarding, payment, and UX solutions for onchain finance and beyond. At its core is the Reown SDK — an open-source, all-in-one toolkit that abstracts the complexity of blockchain infrastructure so developers can focus on building apps users actually want to use.
The SDK connects to 600+ wallets via the WalletConnect network and supports every major chain ecosystem: all EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin, TON, and Tron. It ships with authentication, payment flows, multichain support, smart account interactions, and built-in analytics — all configurable from a single dashboard.
Why choose Reown for blockchain app development?
Most onchain apps struggle with the same four problems before they ever reach meaningful scale. Reown is designed to address each of them from day one.
Data from the start.
Analytics are often an afterthought, added once an app is already live and teams are already flying blind. Reown's built-in analytics platform is active from the moment you integrate — tracking wallet connections, user activity, onramp performance, and more without any additional setup. Teams can make data-driven decisions early rather than guessing.
Faster time to ship.
Integrating separate SDKs for auth, payments, and wallet connections adds weeks to a build. Reown consolidates all of these into one integration, with support for React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Nuxt, JavaScript, React Native, Flutter, Android, iOS, and Unity. Less time spent on plumbing means more time spent on product.
Battle-tested infrastructure.
The WalletConnect protocol underpinning Reown has been running in production for years, supporting billions of connections across thousands of apps. Reown inherits that reliability, along with built-in security features like transaction screening and domain verification.
Reach more users across more chains.
Multichain support isn't a bolt-on — it's the default. Reown-powered apps can authenticate users and process payments across every supported chain simultaneously, and the same wallet modal handles EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, TON, and Tron connections without separate integrations per chain.
Who is Reown For?
Reown is built for any developer or team building a crypto-enabled app, but it's particularly well suited to four app categories.
DeFi App Builders
DeFi apps live or die on UX. If connecting a wallet is clunky or users can't fund their account without leaving your app, conversion drops fast. Reown gives DeFi developers one-click wallet connections, in-app onramps and swaps, smart account support, and the analytics to optimise every step of the funnel.

Onchain Social App Developers
Social apps need low-friction sign-in flows that don't assume every user already has a wallet. Reown's email and social login options create embedded wallets behind familiar login methods, meaning a user can sign up with Google and be onchain in seconds.

Crypto Marketplace Builders
Marketplaces need to support payments from users across different chains, wallets, and funding sources. Reown's payment suite — swaps, onramps, exchange deposits, and self-custodial wallet payments — handles the full range without requiring separate integrations for each flow.

Blockchain Game Builders
Games need fast wallet connections, smart account support for features like subscriptions and in-game purchases, and analytics to understand player behaviour. Reown supports Unity natively and provides smart account infrastructure ready for custom game mechanics.

Reown’s Key Features: What the Reown SDK does
Accounts and Authentication
Social & Email Logins
Reown's email and social login feature removes the biggest barrier to onboarding: the requirement to already own a wallet. Users can sign into your app with Google, Apple, email, or other familiar methods. Under the hood, this creates a non-custodial embedded wallet tied to their account — no seed phrase, no extension required.
Sign In With Ethereum (SIWE)
For EVM-native apps, Reown's one-click auth combines wallet connection and authentication into a single action. Users connect and prove ownership of their wallet address in one step rather than two, reducing drop-off at the point of sign-in.
Multichain Auth (SIWX)
Sign In With X (SIWX) extends authentication beyond Ethereum. Reown's flagship auth method lets you authenticate users across any supported chain — Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, TON, and Tron — through a single implementation, making it the right choice for apps that aren't tied to a single network.
Multiwallet Linking
Multiwallet linking lets users connect multiple wallets simultaneously, switch between them inside your app, and manage their connected wallet portfolio in one place. For developers, it also surfaces wallet connection history and analytics to inform product decisions.
Payments, Deposits & Funding Wallets
Swaps
Reown swaps enable crypto-to-crypto exchanges directly inside your app. Users can convert between coins and tokens without being sent to a third-party exchange, keeping them in your product flow and reducing the steps between intent and action.
Onramp
Reown onramp lets users convert fiat to crypto without leaving your platform. Dollars, euros, and other currencies can be converted and deposited directly, so new users don't need to go to an exchange before they can interact with your app.
Fund via Self-Custodial Wallets
Reown supports funding in-app wallets from 500+ self-custodial wallets across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin. Users can use whatever wallet they already trust, and the SDK handles the connection and transfer flow.
Fund via Exchange Wallets
For users who hold funds on a centralised exchange, Reown's exchange deposit feature streamlines the process of moving funds from an exchange account directly into your app — without the usual copy-paste, manual transfer steps that add friction and cause drop-off.
Multichain Support
Blockchains Supported
The Reown SDK is multichain by default, supporting all EVM chains, Solana and SVM chains, Bitcoin, TON, and Tron. Authentication, payment, and wallet interaction features are all available across supported chains, and analytics consolidate performance data from every chain into one dashboard view.
Multichain Apps
With Reown, you're not limited to one chain. SIWX authentication handles users on any supported network, and multiwallet linking lets users add wallets from multiple chains and switch between them without interrupting their session.
Interactions
Blockchain API
The Reown Blockchain API is an RPC service that powers core blockchain functions within the SDK: account balances, transaction history, and other on-chain data your app needs to function. It runs as part of the Reown infrastructure, so you don't need to manage a separate RPC provider to get started.
Smart Account Interactions
Beyond basic transactions, Reown supports smart account interactions through the same embedded wallet infrastructure that powers social and email logins. This opens up advanced capabilities like recurring payments, subscriptions, multisig configurations, and sponsored gas — without requiring users to manage a traditional EOA.
Analytics
Reown's built-in analytics platform gives teams visibility into user behaviour and app performance from the moment they go live. Metrics include wallet connection activity, session data, platform and country distribution, onramp volume, and swap data — all accessible from the Reown dashboard. Pro and Enterprise plans extend data retention and add deeper insights, including full export capabilities for teams that need to feed data into their own systems.

How to Integrate the Reown SDK
Getting started with Reown takes four steps. For a complete walkthrough including framework-specific configuration, refer to the Reown SDK documentation.
Step 1: Create a Project on the Reown Dashboard
Head to dashboard.reown.com and create a new project. This generates the Project ID your SDK instance will use to authenticate with the WalletConnect network.
Step 2: Choose Your Framework
Reown supports React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Nuxt, JavaScript, React Native, Flutter, Android (Kotlin), iOS (Swift), and Unity. Select the framework that matches your stack — each has its own quickstart guide in the docs.
Step 3: Install the Reown SDK
Install the SDK package via your package manager. For example, in a React project:
npm install @reown/appkit @reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi wagmi viem
Framework-specific install commands are listed in each quickstart guide.
Step 4: Configure and Initialise
Add your Project ID, define your supported networks, and initialise the SDK. At this stage you can also configure which authentication methods to enable, which payment features to surface, and how to customise the wallet modal's appearance to match your brand.
Step 5: Add the Reown Modal
Drop the modal component into your app's root layout. From here, users can connect wallets, authenticate, and access payment flows — all from the same unified UI.

Reown: Unlocking Seamless Growth for Scaling Onchain Apps
Blockchain infrastructure has historically forced developers to choose between speed and quality. Move fast with fragmented tools, or build it properly and spend months on plumbing before you can ship a single user-facing feature.
Reown changes that equation. By consolidating authentication, payments, multichain support, and analytics into a single SDK backed by WalletConnect's production-grade network, it removes the integration overhead that slows teams down — and replaces it with a foundation that can genuinely scale to millions of users.
Whether you're building your first onchain app or scaling an existing product, Reown gives you the tools to move faster, understand your users better, and grow without rebuilding your stack every time you expand to a new chain or market.

The Enterprise plan (from $250/month) offers unlimited projects, custom team sizes, full analytics history, data exports, whitelabelling, and dedicated support.
Can I Enable Crypto Payments in My App With Reown?
Yes. Reown includes in-app swaps, fiat-to-crypto onramps, pay with self-custodial wallets, and deposit from centralised exchanges. However, for businesses looking to accept stablecoin or token payments at the point of sale — IRL stores, consumer apps, and B2B payment flows — WalletConnect Pay may suit you better.
Reown vs WalletConnect Pay: What's the Difference?
The Reown SDK is for app developers who want to embed wallet connections, authentication, and funding flows into their onchain products. WalletConnect Pay is designed for businesses that want to accept stablecoin and token payments from customers — think merchant checkout flows, B2B settlements, and IRL payment scenarios. The two products are complementary: Reown handles the in-app experience; WalletConnect Pay handles the payment acceptance layer.
