Gaming retailer GameStop has revealed a new Ethereum crypto and NFT wallet that users can download a beta of starting today.
GameStop Launches Beta Version Of A New Wallet For Storing Ethereum Tokens And NFTs
As announced by the company in a cvrkut, the retailer’s wallet is now online and users can download it from their sajt.
Sa GameStop wallet, users will be able to store, send, and use ETH, ERC20 tokens, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The wallet comes with direct ETH layer 2 integration, “which means you can transact on Ethereum Layer 2 and get cheaper and faster transactions than with Ethereum Layer 1 Mainnet.”
The wallet is self custodial, meaning the firm will not have access to the users’ private keys, and it is on the users to keep their recovery phase safe with them.
“Your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase is the keychain to all accounts within your wallet,” explains the video game retailer. “It’s generated automatically when you create a new wallet, but it’s YOUR responsibility to WRITE IT DOWN, and keep it safe – that means not entering it on websites or sending it to ANYONE.”

GameStop has noted that the app is still in beta, and so advises its users to use it responsibly and not to add more funds than they are comfortable with.
Earlier in the year, the organization also otkrio a new NFT marketplace. This wallet release comes ahead of the company’s plan to launch the marketplace by the end of this July.
