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.
Level 2 · Season 2
Collectibles, Points and the pools
Season 2 is a skill championship. Each Season 2 collectible drops Poster Shards and includes one ranked run. 60% of every sale returns to players: the weekly top 3, and a season pool paying up to the top 10 at the finale.
Pay with PG Points
No wallet needed- Open pentagon.games/account and top up Points with a normal card. That is the only place a card is used.
- Come back here and buy a collectible with Points. No pop-ups, no gas.
Pay from your wallet
Crypto- Connect the wallet holding PC (Pentagon Chain) or USDC.
- Confirm one transaction. The collectible, its Scraps and your ranked run are yours.
Price, season dates and the poster edition size are announced before Season 2 opens. Purchases are final once made; a rules and odds page goes live before the first sale. How the season works →

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.
