    AsyncAPI description of the Reown (formerly WalletConnect) v2 Relay
    WebSocket protocol. The relay is a JSON-RPC over WebSocket transport
    that routes end-to-end encrypted messages between paired peers (typically
    a dApp and a wallet) on a publish/subscribe basis.

    Two layers of JSON-RPC traffic flow over the same WebSocket:

      1. Relay RPC (`irn_*`): client <-> relay server methods to publish,
         subscribe, unsubscribe, and deliver messages on opaque topics.
      2. Sign / Pairing protocol RPC (`wc_*`): end-to-end encrypted JSON-RPC
         messages exchanged between peers. The relay never sees plaintext;
         payloads are carried in `irn_publish.message` / `irn_subscription.data.message`.

    Pairing is bootstrapped by an out-of-band `wc:` URI (e.g. via QR code or
    deep link) containing the pairing topic, symmetric key, supported methods,
    relay protocol (`irn`), and optional expiry timestamp.
