Level 1 · optional
Add a wallet
A wallet is where on-chain things (loot box rewards, hero cards, your PFP) are stored. They belong to you, not to us.
Step 1
Install a wallet
MetaMask or Rabby in your browser. Write the recovery phrase on paper. Never type it into any website, including ours.Step 2
Connect it here
Click Connect wallet in the top bar. Connecting only shares your public address; it cannot move anything without your approval.Step 3
Add the network
The first time a page needs Pentagon Chain or SKALE, your wallet asks to add it. One click; nothing to type.Step 4
Get a little gas
Each on-chain action costs a tiny fee. SKALE is free. Pentagon Chain uses PC. A few cents covers dozens of claims.

Safety
Five things we will never do
- ✓Ask for your recovery phrase or private key, anywhere, ever.
- ✓Take card details on gunnies.io. Cards are only used on Stripe (store) or pentagon.games/account (Points).
- ✓Move anything out of your wallet without a transaction you approved.
- ✓DM you first on Discord or Telegram about rewards.
- ✓Sell Kaboom Passes again. Sales ended; existing passes run out one year after purchase.
