    1. 0.2. How URI Schemes Work
    2. 0.4. Why URI Schemes Matter

URI Schemes are standardized formats that define how resources like cryptocurrency addresses, apps, or actions can be accessed or triggered through Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).

How URI Schemes Work

A URI scheme typically begins with a prefix (like bitcoin: or ethereum:) followed by specific parameters. For example, clicking a link like bitcoin:1A1zP1... in a wallet app can automatically fill in a recipient address and payment details. These schemes streamline interactions with crypto wallets, dApps, and blockchain services by enabling seamless communication between platforms.

Why URI Schemes Matter

URI schemes enhance usability, especially in mobile and web applications. They make it easier to initiate crypto payments, connect wallets, or execute blockchain actions with one click. For developers, URI schemes are essential for building intuitive and user-friendly blockchain experiences.
