Session Management and Authentication in dApp Wallet Connections

In a dApp, the wallet connection functions as the user's authentication. There is no username and password. The connected wallet address is the user's identity, and the session persists as long as the wallet remains connected. If the user disconnects, switches wallets, or changes networks, the session state must update accordingly. The wallet integration needs to handle all of these state changes without losing the user's context or forcing them to restart their interaction with the application.

27 Blockchain's dApp wallet integration includes session management that tracks connection status, handles reconnection after browser refreshes or app restarts, detects network changes, and manages multi-wallet scenarios where a user switches between different wallet providers during a session. This session infrastructure is critical for dApps where the user performs multiple sequential interactions that depend on a stable wallet connection throughout.
