Upgrade to Reown WalletKit

This document outlines the steps to migrate from the old @walletconnect/web3wallet package to the new @reown/walletkit packages in your project.

​
Step 1. Update your package.json

Replace your existing @walletconnect/web3wallet dependency with @reown/walletkit:

/* highlight-delete-start */
"@walletconnect/web3wallet": "^x.y.z"
/* highlight-delete-end */
/* highlight-add-start */
"@reown/walletkit": "^1.0.0"
/* highlight-add-end */

​
Step 2. Install @reown/walletkit

Run npm install (or your preferred package manager command) to install the new package.

​
Step 3. Update your imports

Replace the imports in your project:

/* highlight-delete-start */
import { Web3Wallet } from "@walletconnect/web3wallet";
/* highlight-delete-end */
/* highlight-add-start */
import { WalletKit } from "@reown/walletkit";
/* highlight-add-end */

and your initialization to use the new package:

/* highlight-delete-start */
await Web3Wallet.init()
/* highlight-delete-end */
/* highlight-add-start */
await WalletKit.init()
/* highlight-add-end */

If you’re using additional imports from @walletconnect/web3wallet, you can replace them with their corresponding version from @reown/walletkit such as:

/* highlight-delete-start */
import { IWeb3Wallet } from "@walletconnect/web3wallet";
/* highlight-delete-end */
/* highlight-add-start */
import { IWalletKit } from "@reown/walletkit";
/* highlight-add-end */

​
You’re all set!
