The GameStop crypto wallet uses Loopring which is a Layer 2 protocol that sits on top of the Ethereum blockchain. This technology is supposed to offer faster transaction speeds and lower costs. It’s also supposed to be self-custodial and interoperable. It is important to remember that the wallet requires a password and a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase. There are also a few cons such as losing receipts using this wallet.
