What is the Gala Games and Entertainment Ecosystem

 

1. client| Wallet Address

A client| wallet address is used by GalaChain users who have created their wallets through the Gala Games platform using their email. These wallets are directly tied to your Gala Games account and are part of the GalaChain system. This type of wallet is designed for users who want an easy, email-based setup without needing prior blockchain experience.

 

Example of a client| wallet address:
client|12345

 

How it's created:

  • Users sign up for Gala Games using an email.
  • A wallet is generated  when you create your account or sign in for the first time and create a wallet and transfer code in the account settings page.
  • This wallet is connected to your Gala account and does not require a third-party Web3 wallet like MetaMask.

2. eth| Wallet Address

An eth| wallet address is used by GalaChain users who have linked wallets created through Web3 services, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet. These wallets are built on Ethereum, giving users greater flexibility and control over their assets. If you're already familiar with blockchain and Web3 wallets, you may prefer using this type of address.

 

Example of an eth| wallet address:
eth|12345

 

How it's created:

  • Users create a Web3 wallet through a service like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or another Ethereum-compatible wallet.
  • The wallet is then linked to GalaChain through connect.gala.com, enabling users to interact with the Gala ecosystem and access its services.
  • This type of wallet offers more control and flexibility within the broader blockchain environment.

Conclusion:

A client| wallet address is best for users who want a simple, email-based way to manage their GalaChain assets through the Gala Games platform.


An eth| wallet address is ideal for those who are comfortable using Web3 wallets like MetaMask or Trust Wallet and want greater control over their assets.
By understanding these differences, you can choose the right wallet type that best suits your needs in the GalaChain ecosystem.
