How this works#

Every entity card lists its player requirements exactly as recorded in our ecosystem registry — wallets, accounts, installs and custodial arrangements — with the ownership model and operating status alongside. Requirements that point at another tracked entity (for example a platform needing a specific wallet) link straight to that entity’s record, so you can walk the full chain of what to set up.

21 entities are tracked; 18 are currently active. Inactive, pivoted or shut-down entries are hidden by default — turn them on if you’re researching history. Every card carries its verification date and evidence count; where the registry has no value for a field we say “not on file” rather than guess.

This checker describes access requirements only. It is not a review of any game’s quality, economy or safety — those live in the linked records and our safety guides.

Ecosystem registry data generated 2026-10-06 · 21 entities · every card shows its own verification date.
