TL;DR

• Most wallets only play nice with a single blockchain - Ethereum can only be used to purchase Ethereum based NFTs, and play Ethereum based games…

• So seeing a headline where a wallet will allow for silky smooth cross-chain access within the gaming niche is very exciting!

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

Most builders in Web3 would argue that the more people interested and onboarded into this space, the better. 

At least we would argue that.

So, you could imagine our excitement to see a headline like this:

“Ronin Gaming Wallet supports Ethereum, Polygon and BNB Chain”. 

It may seem minor or silly (or confusing)…

But, let's get into the nitty gritty. 

Imagine if each time you went to a new country, you had to open a new bank account with a domestic bank there, and exchange currencies. Then, and only then, can you use a debit card while in the country. 

…we bet a ton of people would stop traveling (or at the very least start using travelers cheques again).

It’d be a hassle, and honestly cause a lot of unnecessary friction. 

Right now, blockchains kinda work like that.

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