Ledger and WalletConnect – A safe way to get my hardware wallet into DeFi?

Hey guys,

not sure, If I'm in the right sub, but I feel this sub has a better community than most other crypto-related subs and ethereum is my main focus anyways.. but:

I just found out about a new feature of Ledger called walletconnect, which enables my hardware wallet to connect to defi protocols. I didn't find much information on this and was wandering why, since this sounds like a gamechanger to me!? Is this software safe (I guess so, since it's supported by ledger)?

I'm happy to hear your takes on this!
