Open Wallet Standard Core is a foundational library that defines a set of interfaces and conventions for integrating cryptocurrency wallets with decentralized applications in a consistent and interoperable way. It establishes a standardized method for wallets to expose functionality such as account management, transaction signing, and connection handling, enabling seamless interaction across different blockchain ecosystems. The project focuses on improving both developer experience and user experience by reducing fragmentation in how wallets communicate with applications. It includes mechanisms for registering wallets globally, detecting available wallets in browser environments, and handling events related to wallet connection or disconnection. The standard is designed to be extensible, allowing blockchain-specific features to be added through extensions without breaking compatibility.
