Notably, the wallet comes as a browser extension like MetaMask and can be downloaded from Chrome\u2019s web store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features available through the wallet are similar to other decentralized wallets. Users can send, receive, store, as well as approve transactions for digital currencies and NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"323\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GameStop.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-571501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GameStop.png 323w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GameStop-189x300.png 189w, https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GameStop-269x428.png 269w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" title=\"\"><figcaption>GameStop Wallet (Source: wallet.gamestop.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>GameStop\u2019s Beta NFT Marketplace With Loopring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The video game retailer announced a marketplace for digital collectibles powered by blockchain technology earlier in March 2022. As <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/gamestop-nft-marketplace\/\">EWN<\/a> reported, the platform was in partnership with the Ethereum layer 2 scaling protocol Loopring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loopring deploys zero-knowledge (zk) rollup technology to deliver faster throughput and transaction processing while also offering low gas fees. Layer 2 protocols like Loopring are supposedly becoming increasingly popular on Ethereum as a working solution to combat network congestion and high transaction costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retail giant previously announced plans to build its marketplace with another layer 2 scaling solution &#8211; Immutable X. At the time, the pair also unveiled a massive $100 million fund earmarked for studios building NFT-powered gaming experiences with plans to launch on GameStop&#8217;s platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milestones meant to trigger the release of more funds were also included in the deal. Immutable X planned to dish out another $150 million in IMX tokens for achievements in sales and trading volume at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GameStop expands web3 offerings as it pushes past meme stock era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":571500,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,108339],"tags":[108228,108407,108282,108184],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571496"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571496"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571496\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":571504,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571496\/revisions\/571504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
