Get a wallet

Your Supercollector account is associated with your wallet (like most web3 platforms you take your account with you). If you haven’t done this already you’ll need a wallet that supports the Optimism blockchain.

There are two ways to get a wallet if you don’t already have one:

  1. Set up your own wallet with a wallet app eg Rainbow

Rainbow is an easy to use wallet app, download here. Once your wallet is set up, follow the “Connect” instructions and choose your wallet app from the options. This will typically launch a QR code to scan from a mobile app, or launch a browser plugin to confirm your connection.

  1. Use our email wallet service (provided by Privy)

Upon Connecting you will see the option to enter an email. Privy will create a wallet for you associated with your email address. When it comes to withdrawing your sales profits, you will need to take control of this wallet via the “Transfer” option in the menu, when you will be given the credentials to control the wallet via an app like Rainbow.

<aside> đź’ˇ nb publishing your release incurs a small blockchain fee (this does not go to us), usually $1-2, but this is paid by having some ETH on Optimism currency in your wallet, which you can buy directly from Rainbow, and may require a minimum purchase of around $20, follow the steps and for any assistance contact us.
