The Arcade lets you play before it asks who you are, which is the correct order for an arcade. Identity becomes relevant the moment you want something to persist: the Player Dashboard is reached by connecting a wallet or signing in, and it is where your profile and your progress live. Without it, a session is a session — you can play, and nothing carries.
Two ways in, one dashboard
The Arcade accepts a connected wallet or a sign-in. They are different credentials with different risk profiles, and choosing between them is a real decision rather than a formality: a wallet is held by you in software the Arcade does not control, while an account sign-in is an ordinary authenticated session. Neither is more "official" than the other.
What persistence buys
Achievements that stay unlocked, a place on the leaderboards that survives closing the tab, and a profile that makes your play legible across titles rather than only within one. If none of that matters to you, playing anonymously is a complete way to use the platform.
Identity across the Universe
The Xdripian Sanctum is the Universe's dedicated identity space — profile, achievements, the Ally journey — and is authentication-gated in its own right. The Arcade dashboard is the Arcade's surface. Verticals may connect to a shared identity, but each holds its own state and its own boundaries.
Connect only from the Arcade's own interface, and never enter a recovery phrase. No arcade game, score, unlock or profile action requires one.
