⚠️ Security Notice
Wars of Cards will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Never share them with anyone. You wouldn't give a stranger the keys to your home.
Simplest comparison:
- Wallet address = bank account number (you can give to anyone)
- Private key/seeds phrases = PIN + bank password (never show anyone)
Wallets:
- Meteor Wallet → https://wallet.meteorwallet.app/

While all NEAR wallets support Function Call Access Keys for automatic transaction signing, only three provide a true plug-and-play experience suitable for multiplayer gaming.
1 NEAR token will be sufficient for you to play thousands of rounds in Wars Of Cards.
To buy NEAR, you'll use a cryptocurrency exchange or platform like Binance, Coinbase, OKX, or MoonPay, by creating an account, verifying your identity (KYC), linking a payment method (card, bank), selecting NEAR, entering the amount, and confirming the purchase to receive it in your wallet.
Note: Claiming tokens, depositing, and withdrawing still require explicit user signatures.
