The GameStop wallet has direct Ethereum Layer 2 integration, which means you can transact on Ethereum Layer 2 and get cheaper and faster transactions than with the Ethereum Layer 1 Mainnet.

To understand Layer 2, you must first know what Layer 1 is. Layer 1 is the base layer of the blockchain, also referred to as the Ethereum mainnet. It often suffers from network congestion leading to high transaction fees and long delays.

Layer 2 is a set of protocols created to solve those problems, operating on top of the blockchain, but most importantly still being part of that underlying network.

Layer 2 provides faster speeds and lower transaction fees than the blockchain itself, while maintaining the security and trustworthiness of the Ethereum mainnet.

Lastly, it should be noted that this is a beta launch. With the launch of its new wallet, GameStop also confirmed that the upcoming NFT marketplace will be available in the second quarter of this year.

Once launched, users will be able to use their wallet in conjunction with the marketplace.
