After Creating a wallet, follow these steps to add it to Gods Unchained and Immutable X:

Adding a wallet

Adding a MetaMask or GameStop wallet to Gods Unchained/IMX

  1. Before starting, ensure you're logged into your MetaMask or GameStop wallet extension in your browser. 
  2. Login to your Gods Unchained account by clicking “Sign In” in the top right corner of GodsUnchained.com. 
  3. Select “Manage Wallets” from the top right menu.
  4. Click the “+ Add wallet” button to add your wallet to Gods Unchained.
  5. Your browser’s MetaMask/GameStop extension should automatically open in a new window (ensure you have pop ups enabled otherwise see below for more troubleshooting tips).
  6. Follow the prompts to sign and approve adding your wallet to Gods Unchained and IMX.
  7. It may take a moment to connect but when you see your new address added to the Manage Wallet page, you have successfully connected it to your Gods Unchained account and the Immutable X platform!

How do I know that my wallets have been successfully linked?

If your wallet address appears in the Manage Wallets page of the Gods Unchained website then it is successfully connected to your Gods Unchained account. After logging into the game, your Collection will automatically display any existing GU Cards and Collectables and you'll be able to claim any $GODS token rewards after playing Daily Play & Earn!

Troubleshooting and Known Issues

Head over to our article:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Immutable X?

Immutable X (IMX) is the platform that powers Gods Unchained to enable all the features that involve the blockchain, such as trading your Cards, Collectables, and $GODS tokens; buying Card Packs and Shine Fusing your cards in The Forge. So, when you add a wallet to Gods Unchained, you are also adding it to the Immutable X platform. But remember, adding your wallet doesn’t give Gods Unchained or Immutable X any power over your wallet or its contents without your authorisation. 

Are my items safe on Immutable X?

Yes! A layer 2 solution means Immutable X is secured by Ethereum (which is layer 1). We never compromise on Ethereum L1 validating every Immutable X transaction. Rollups consist of a smart contract and an environment to process trades. This environment generates a proof and sends that proof to the smart contract on L1.

What is a wallet and why do I need one? Isn’t my Gods Unchained account enough? 

A wallet is a secure place to store your digital items, whether they be cards, boards, trinkets, $GODS, ETH or anything else you may come across. An Ethereum compatible wallet is required to receive rewards from Weekend Ranked events and Daily Play & Earn, or to purchase cards.

When you purchase anything from the Gods Unchained store, trade a card on the Immutable X marketplace, or receive an expansion pack reward in Weekend Ranked, these are all sent and stored in your wallet, but only if you have one added to your Gods Unchained account.

Wallets can also be used beyond Gods Unchained and Immutable X. They are the universal system that the Ethereum network uses to identify individual users, so all trades are done using wallets. Every wallet has a unique wallet address, and this is the thing that links your digital assets to you. What’s more, a wallet is completely free to set up and own - but it's important to understand how it works and how to keep it secure!

What if I have assets in multiple wallets?

Immutable X will treat each wallet as a separate account, so you will not see a unified inventory like in Gods Unchained. If your assets are stored across multiple wallets, you will need to switch between accounts to view and trade your assets. 

Can I add my wallet to multiple Gods Unchained accounts?

No. While you can link multiple wallets to one Gods Unchained account, you cannot link one wallet to multiple Gods Unchained accounts. This is because your assets are tied to your specific account, and to stop multiple users from using the same cards all at the same time. 

Can I add multiple wallets to my Gods Unchained account?

If linking more than one wallet, it’s important to assign your default wallet so any rewards you receive are sent to the right place. To do so, head to the Manage Wallets page and simply click the three dots to the right of your wallet, and select “set as default”. 

How do I remove a wallet

You can easily remove a wallet yourself.  To do so, head to the Manage Wallets page and simply click the three dots to the right of your wallet, and select “Remove wallet”.

What systems/things do I need to use Immutable X?

System: A PC or Mac desktop operating system.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge.

Wallet: MetaMask or GameStop.

At this stage, the only wallet-management tools both Gods Unchained and Immutable X support is MetaMask and GameStop. If you are using a different tool to manage your wallet, you can import your private key into MetaMask to access Immutable X.

What is gas/why do we need Immutable X? 

The Ethereum network (a blockchain) is the technology at the heart of Gods Unchained that allows you to own/trade/sell your cards and in-game items. It’s awesome. Over the last year, gas prices have skyrocketed, hindering trading, and this isn’t set to change anytime soon. For a game that is built around card trading, this is not great. 

Gas prices are basically the transaction fees of the Ethereum network. The network calculates the cost necessary to enact a transfer or a contract, and the user pays it themselves. It is charged whenever you want to move something from one place to another (peer to peer trading/buying/selling cards), or add something to the network (purchasing/minting new cards). In some cases, gas prices have even been more expensive than the price of a single purchase, so blockchain gaming needed a solution. That solution is Immutable X. As a layer 2 solution, it works with the Ethereum network to provide secure, instant transactions with zero gas fees. The outcome? Not only will Gods Unchained users will be able to trade without the hindrance of gas, creating and minting will be much more affordable, unlocking play to earn mechanics like never before.
