Request Permissions

RequestPermissions is a critical function in the Beacon SDK, used to establish connections between dApps and users' wallets. This process involves requesting and obtaining the user's consent to access certain features of their wallet, which is essential for any interaction that a dApp intends to perform with the user's blockchain account.
