What is a wallet?

A crypto wallet is a digital tool that allows you to store and manage digital assets on the blockchain. In Virtual Pigeon Racing, your wallet is used to hold your pigeons (NFTs) and to approve certain actions within the game, such as buying, selling, or breeding pigeons.

Think of a wallet as your personal account for digital ownership. It proves that the pigeons you own truly belong to you.

Why you need a wallet in Virtual Pigeon Racing

Because pigeons in VPR are NFTs stored on the blockchain, a wallet is required to interact with them. Your wallet allows you to:

  • Own and store your pigeons

  • Buy or sell pigeons on marketplaces

  • Participate in certain races or breeding actions

  • Confirm transactions securely

Without a wallet, the system cannot verify ownership of your pigeons.

Supported wallets

Virtual Pigeon Racing supports several well-known crypto wallets.

Venly

Venly is a user-friendly wallet designed to make blockchain applications easier to use. It allows players to create a wallet quickly and manage their digital assets without needing deep crypto knowledge.

Venly is widely used by blockchain games and platforms, making it a good option for players who are new to crypto.

MetaMask

MetaMask is one of the most widely used crypto wallets in the world. It is available as a browser extension and mobile app and is trusted by millions of users. MetaMask is often preferred by players who already have experience with blockchain applications or NFTs.

Both wallets are secure, widely recognized, and commonly used across the blockchain ecosystem.

Your wallet stays under your control

Your wallet is separate from your VPR account. This means you always remain in control of your digital assets.

Please be aware:

  • Always keep your wallet credentials, private keys, and recovery phrases secure and never share them with anyone.

  • Virtual Pigeon Racing will never ask for your private keys, passwords, or recovery phrases.

  • Only you should have access to this information. If someone asks for it, it is very likely a scam.

  • You are responsible for your wallet, private keys, and recovery phrase. If you lose access to them, VPR may not be able to recover your wallet or your pigeons.

Important: Never share your wallet’s private keys, passwords, or recovery phrases. Virtual Pigeon Racing will never ask for them.
