Hey there! Following WalletConnect’s guideline to have dapps migrate to their V2, we have released a version with WCv2 implemented. It’s released as 5.0.1 on npm.

You may have noticed it’s a major release, it’s because it will not work with WalletConnect v1 anymore. Additionally, there is now a mandatory option in the dapp property.

Upgrade path:

<CeloProvider
    dapp={{
      name: 'your dapp name',
      description: 'A great dapp description',
      url: 'https://example.com',
      icon: 'https://example.com/img',
+     walletConnectProjectId: 'Your WalletConnect project ID',
    }}
      ...
 </CeloProvider>
