The self-custodial Ethereum wallet, fitting known as the GameStop Wallet, can be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store. Self-custodial wallets differ from what you’d find on a service like PayPal or Robinhood in that you are the sole owner of the private digital key needed to access the wallet. That’s good for security sake, but it also means you are responsible for keeping up with it. If you lose the key, there’s no middleman to help recover it.
In February, GameStop announced a partnership with Immutable X to use its platform for their upcoming NFT marketplace. The agreement also established a $100 million fund that’ll award grants to NFT content and technology creators. The funds will be issued through Immutable X’s IMX token, a cryptocurrency valued at $1.02 per at the time of this writing. Image credit: Jonathan Weiss
