What is a wallet and why do I need one?

A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital wallet that is used to hold, transfer and manage cryptocurrencies (such as $MATIC and $ETH) in a secure and decentralised manner. Your connected Trinity3 wallet allows you to hold cryptocurrencies you’ve earned during tournaments, as well as other tokens, and provides an interface for you to interact with the blockchain. ‍

Without a wallet, you won’t be able to access Trinity3 so it’s important you have one set up!

How do I create a wallet?

To create a wallet, you will need to use a third-party service via Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect, Browser Wallets or Social Authentication. Once logged in using one of these methods, your wallet address will be interfaced within the Trinity3 to view your token holdings, collectibles and take part in tournaments.

• Browser/Phone Wallets:

  • Connect via Metamask, Trust Wallet and many more!

• Social Authentication:

  • Create a self-custodial wallet login via Web3Auth and use your Google, Discord, Twitter or other social media logins to seamlessly connect to Web3!

What can I do with my wallet?

Your wallet is used to interface with the Trinity3 platform to enable you to receive tournament and quest rewards or create tournaments. More features will be available in the future so watch this space!

What is the difference between Polygon and Ethereum? Why are my Polygon and Ethereum wallet addresses the same?

These are different blockchains, with their own networks, on which different tokens can operate. Each blockchain ecosystem is governed by its own set of rules and parameters which allows for different tokens, applications and services to be built upon them. The Polygon network is what we call a ‘Layer 2 protocol’ which allows for fast and scalable blockchain transactions to occur; it serves as a framework for scaling Ethereum-compatible blockchain solutions. This network was created as an ‘extension’ to Ethereum to solve network congestion issue and high gas fees (otherwise known as transaction fees).

Although Polygon and Ethereum are both ‘Ethereum Virtual Machine’ compatible networks, and will therefore typically generate the same wallet address for the same private key (or recovery phrase), they operate on different ecosystems. Sending tokens to and from a Polygon wallet will not appear on the history of the corresponding Ethereum wallet address - so always pay attention to the networks!

What are $ETH, $BNB and $MATIC? And, why do I need them?

$MATIC is the native cryptocurrency of the Polygon blockchain. $BNB is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance Smart Chain and $ETH is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum and Arbitrum blockchain. Carrying our transactions (e.g. sending tokens tokens to another wallet or paying for tournament prize pools) and using smart contracts requires a ‘transaction fee’ to be paid, in the form of the native cryptocurrencies of the blockchain in use.

Due to the cost-effective nature of the Polygon, Arbitrum and BSC network, a very small amount of tokens are generally required to carry out transactions as these, whereas costs tend to be higher on the Ethereum network, due to overall network congestion.

You will need $ETH when you carry out transactions on the Ethereum or Arbitrum network.

I don’t have any tokens, or I don’t have enough tokens for a transaction I want to make… Where can I get tokens to cover the transaction costs?

Tokens can be purchased from a variety of exchanges and services. The process to purchase tokens may depend on your region, as different restrictions and regulations are in place in different geographies.
