But for that there is no need to sync your meta mast to the game,simply providing the ethereum address will work right?
Whatever if anyone stil want to try this game go with new ethereum address on a separate system where you are not using your primary crypto wallet.
Anyone can play by just providing an Ethereum address. It allows players to try out the game without having to sign up or even provide their real address. However, since some of the rewards are not cryptocurrencies and have multiple in-game functions, we needed a way for players to keep their inventories secure so only the real account owner can access the rewards.
We went with MetaMask for player authentication instead of the traditional email address/password system for a few reasons:
- Increased security: Proof of ownership by public-key encryption is arguably more secure than proof of ownership by email/password or by a third party—all the more so because MetaMask stores credentials locally on your computer, and not on online servers, which makes the attack surface smaller.
- Simplified UX: This is a one-click (okay, maybe two-click) login flow, done in a handful of seconds, without the need to type or remember any password.
- Increased privacy: No email needed, and no third party involved.
However, we realize there are some cons to this system as well (in addition to your concerns):
- Players need to have MetaMask installed: This login flow obviously doesn’t work without MetaMask or a web3-enabled browser. If someone is not interested in cryptocurrencies, there’s a small chance they would even consider installing MetaMask. With the recent crypto-boom, let’s hope we’re heading towards a Web 3.0 internet.
- It doesn’t work on mobile: (for now)
Thank you for your post. If you decide to try out our game, please let us know what you think.
