Games and digital items you actually own

This page is for everyday users.

The problem​

In many games today:

  • your items are trapped inside one game or one company
  • you can lose access if an account is banned or a game shuts down
  • you can’t easily prove an item is “really yours”

What Catalyst enables​

Catalyst can support games where:

  • items can be owned by you, not just by a game server
  • items can move between apps (when the apps choose to support it)
  • ownership can be verified publicly (like checking a serial number)

You don’t need to learn the underlying technology to benefit from it—your wallet and game UI can make it feel normal.

What you do (as a player)​

1) Get a wallet​

2) Play a Catalyst-enabled game​

When a game supports Catalyst, it can show:

  • your items (in-game)
  • your ownership (in-wallet)
  • transfers (send/trade)

3) Verify ownership (optional)​

If you ever want to double-check, the explorer can show activity tied to your account.

What to look for in good apps​

  • Clear “backup” guidance for your wallet
  • Human-friendly names/contacts (so you don’t paste long strings all day)
  • A simple “activity / receipts” page

Troubleshooting​

“I can’t see my item in the wallet”​

Not all wallets show every kind of in-game item yet. The game might still work fine even if the wallet UI is still catching up.
