Electronics retail company GameStop Corp has launched a digital asset wallet that enables users to store, send, receive, and use cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

GameStop announced that the wallet will operate across decentralized applications (dApps), and users will be able to use it without leaving their browsers. The wallet is non-custodial, meaning users will have complete control over their digital assets.

The wallet runs on the Ethereum blockchain, and functions as an extension of the Chrome Web Store. The wallet will also enable transactions on GameStop’s NFT marketplace, which is slated to go live in Q2 of the company’s fiscal quarter.

The largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, announced the launch of a new web3 marketplace protocol, Seaport, to confer more security and efficiency to NFT trading.

The protocol is created “for all builders, creators and collectors of NFTs” on and off the OpenSea platform. On an official blog released on Friday, the OpenSea team revealed that the protocol is an open-source smart contract with “no contract owner”.

The protocol, dubbed Seaport, allows users to acquire NFTs in a range of new ways, unlike now where only crypto can be exchanged for an NFT.

For example; say you own a 40 ETH doodle and you want a 100 ETH ape. You can now offer your doodle NFT and 60 ETH.

🤓 DISCLAIMER: NFA & DYOR

This newsletter is a curated overview of the most interesting things I’ve read the past week, the projects I’ve researched, and the NFTs I’ll be trying to buy.

This means I’m - per definition - biased, so don’t consider this as financial advice and keep doing your own research if you see something you like.
