Install Phantom Wallet

Phantom is the Solana wallet you'll use to pay for lootboxes. It's a browser extension — takes about 2 minutes to set up.

  1. 1Visit phantom.app and install the extension for Chrome, Firefox or Edgephantom.app →
  2. 2Click "Create a new wallet" and write down your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase — store it safely offline
  3. 3Set a password for your local device access
  4. 4Your wallet is ready — you'll see your Solana address (starts with a letter, ~44 characters)
⚠️Never share your 12-word recovery phrase with anyone — not even RetroArch support. Anyone with those words controls your wallet.

Get SOL in your wallet

You need SOL (Solana) to buy lootboxes. Each box costs around $1 USD in SOL. Here are the most common ways to get it:

🏦
Buy on exchange(recommended)
Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, or any major exchange. Buy SOL and withdraw to your Phantom address.
👥
Use a friend
Ask someone who already has SOL to send a small amount to your Phantom address.
💳
Moonpay / Transak
Buy SOL directly inside Phantom with a credit card (higher fees).
💡 Start with $5–10 USD in SOL to have enough for a few boxes plus transaction fees (fees are tiny on Solana, usually less than $0.001).

💸

Receive $LORE in your wallet

$LORE is paid in daily batches — as soon as you complete 5 achievements from the same game, that group becomes eligible and is included in the next payment run.

📊
Track your balance
See your pending $LORE in real time after each achievement unlock. Each game tracks its own group of 5.
Anti-fraud audit
The system verifies each group before payment. Players with more than 5 achievements from the same game in a single day are flagged automatically.
⛓️
SPL Token transfer on-chain
Approved $LORE is transferred to your Solana wallet as an SPL Token. Publicly verifiable on Solana Explorer.
💡Make sure your Solana wallet address is saved in your Profile — that's where $LORE will be sent when your group of 5 is paid.

Tips to Maximize $LORE

👑

Go for the Legendary Box — 6% legendary drop rate and 34% epic give the best expected value. Legendary games earn 6× more $LORE per achievement.

📚

Every game you own adds 5 weekly challenge slots. The more games in your Library, the more $LORE groups you can complete each week.

Save your completion credits for the last achievements you need to close a group of 5 — finishing a group triggers payment.

🎯

Focus on completing groups of 5 per game rather than spreading across many games. Each complete group = one payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The emulator runs entirely in your browser. You only need a modern browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended) and a stable internet connection.

The system automatically escalates to the next rarity tier. If you own all games across every rarity, the lootbox purchase is blocked before payment is requested.

Currently no — SOL is the only payment method and Phantom is required. $LORE payment (which doesn't need Phantom) is coming in a future update.

Solana confirms in 2–5 seconds on average. After that, our server verifies the transaction on-chain and opens the box — the full process takes under 15 seconds.

Your balance updates in real time as you complete achievements. The actual on-chain transfer happens once you complete a group of 5 achievements from the same game — it's included in the next daily payment batch, typically within 24 hours.

Each game gives you exactly 5 achievements per week. Completing all 5 from the same game triggers one payment for that game. Having more games means more groups — and more $LORE.

You always confirm the transaction in Phantom before it's signed. The exact amount and recipient wallet are shown — never approve a transaction you didn't initiate.
