Crypto Basics for Gamers

New to cryptocurrency? This guide explains Web3 concepts and how FortisArena’s wallet system works—no technical background needed.

What is Web3?

The Evolution of the Internet

Web3 = The internet where you own your digital assets and can take them anywhere.

Key Concepts

Blockchain

A digital ledger that records transactions across many computers. Think of it as a global scoreboard that:
  • Everyone can see
  • No one can cheat
  • Records are permanent

Cryptocurrency

Digital money that exists on the blockchain:
  • FRT = FortisArena’s access token
  • FPT = FortisArena’s rewards token
  • Tradable for other currencies

Smart Contracts

Code that automatically executes agreements:
  • Tournament prizes distribute automatically
  • No one can change the rules mid-game
  • Results are transparent

How FortisArena Wallet is Different

Traditional Crypto Wallets

Most crypto platforms use wallets like MetaMask: Problem: Lose your seed phrase = Lose your funds forever. No customer support can help.

FortisArena’s MPC Wallet

We use Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology: Advantage: Forget password? We can help recover. No seed phrase to lose.
