A minimal, modular WalletConnect v2 provider for browser apps. ESM only, with no @walletconnect runtime dependency. Chain adapters, features, and UI are separate imports so unused code can stay out of the bundle.

Documentation: lsheva.github.io/konekt

pnpm add konekt

import { Provider } from "konekt";
import { ethereumMainnet } from "konekt/eip155";

const provider = await Provider.init({
  projectId,
  metadata: { name: "App", description: "My app", url: location.origin, icons: [] },
  chains: [ethereumMainnet],
});

provider.on("display_uri", showPairingUri);
await provider.connect();

The modern-browser EVM path is 14.74 kB minified and gzipped through the first encrypted message, against 142.97 kB for the main bundle of @walletconnect/ethereum-provider@2.23.10. A matched Vite React app first-loads 10.94 kB with Konekt, 145.74 kB with that official provider, and 721.26 kB with AppKit (React marked external). Konekt gets there by implementing the protocol directly, using Web Crypto before a polyfill, and keeping chains, authentication, reads, and UI behind separate entry points. Reads go to a transport you configure rather than a default public endpoint, and the wallet picker is your choice rather than a bundled modal.
