-
Most wallets only play well with a single blockchain – Ethereum can only be used to buy Ethereum-based NFTs and play Ethereum-based games…
-
So seeing a headline where a wallet enables silky smooth cross-chain access within the gaming niche is terribly exciting!

This means that one app could house a range of NFTs and tokens from different chains, which would otherwise be specifically held in separate wallet apps.

It would be a hassle and honestly cause a lot of unnecessary friction.
Straight away, blockchains works a bit like this.

One access point for multiple assets? We’d love to see it!
