How to Add a Web3 Wallet to CryptoPop (Trust, Coinbase, MetaMask)
Three ways to receive your CryptoPop earnings
CryptoPop pays in real ETH. You pick how it lands in your pocket:
| Method | Easiest for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| FaucetPay | Beginners, US players | Custodial — FaucetPay holds your funds until you withdraw further. No KYC, fast. |
| Binance Gift Card | Anyone with a Binance account | Custodial. Redeem the code in your Binance app. Not available in the US. |
| Web3 Wallet | Anyone who wants self-custody + future airdrop eligibility | You manage your own seed phrase. ETH arrives on Optimism — you must add Optimism network to see it. |
This guide is about the third option: Web3 Wallet. If you'd rather start with FaucetPay, see our FaucetPay sign-up guide instead.
Why use a Web3 wallet?
- Self-custody. Your keys, your ETH. No company can freeze, suspend, or restrict the funds.
- No signup form. No KYC, no email confirmation, no age check. Install the app, set a PIN, write down 12 words, done.
- Works anywhere. Works in countries where Binance and Coinbase exchanges aren't available. No regional restrictions.
- Future-airdrop eligible. If we ever run on-chain airdrops to active CryptoPop players, the Web3 wallet you connect is the one we snapshot. Receiving payouts this way doubles as your "I'm in" signal for future rewards.
Pick a wallet — three good options
All three are free, both iOS and Android, and all three work with CryptoPop. Pick one based on what you already use:
- Trust Wallet — Binance-affiliated. Simplest UX, biggest in Asia and emerging markets. trustwallet.com/download
- Coinbase Wallet — Built by Coinbase but not the same as the Coinbase exchange app. This is the self-custody one. Easiest if you're a US user. coinbase.com/wallet
- MetaMask — The original. Most popular in the West and most powerful, but a slightly steeper learning curve. metamask.io/download
Create your Web3 wallet
The exact steps differ slightly per app but the flow is the same. Below is the universal pattern — it'll match what you see whether you pick Trust, Coinbase Wallet, or MetaMask.
- Install the wallet app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). All three are free.
- Open it and choose "Create a new wallet" (not "Import an existing wallet").
- Set a PIN or biometric unlock. This protects access on your device. Pick something you'll remember — losing this just locks the app, not your funds, but it's annoying.
- Write down your 12-word (or 24-word) seed phrase on paper. This is the only backup of your wallet. Don't screenshot it. Don't email it to yourself. Don't store it in a notes app. Write it on paper, store it somewhere safe.
- Confirm the seed phrase by re-entering the words in order. The app does this to make sure you actually wrote them down.
- Done. You're now staring at your fresh wallet, empty, waiting for ETH to arrive.
Copy your wallet address
Now you need the receive address — this is the public string you'll paste into CryptoPop. It's 42 characters, starts with 0x, and looks like:
0x6d0912B5761561dFca4D799C5Ffabc4D799C5Ffabc
Each wallet places the copy button slightly differently:
- Trust Wallet → open the app, tap the ETH token row, then "Receive" → copy address. Or just tap the address shown under your username at the top.
- Coinbase Wallet → tap "Receive" on the home screen, choose Ethereum, then tap the copy icon next to your address.
- MetaMask → tap the account name/address at the very top of the home screen — it copies automatically. You'll see a brief "Address copied!" confirmation.
Paste your wallet address into CryptoPop
- Open CryptoPop and tap "Add Your Wallet" (the wallet section in the menu).
- Make sure you're on the ETH tab at the top.
- Tap the Web3 Wallet (Trust/Coinbase/MetaMask) button — it's the orange one below FaucetPay and Binance.
- Paste your wallet address into the input field. Double-check it starts with
0xand is 42 characters long. - Enter an email in the field below. This is so we can send you a confirmation email when your payout lands, and notify you when your task-balance gets credited. Web3 wallets don't have built-in email — that's why we ask.
- Tap Update account info to save.
⚠️ Critical: add the Optimism network to your wallet
This is the single most common reason new players say "my ETH didn't arrive." The ETH arrived. They're just looking at the wrong network.
CryptoPop sends ETH on the Optimism network (an Ethereum Layer-2). Optimism uses the same ETH currency as Ethereum mainnet, but transactions are roughly 100× cheaper — which is the only way it's economical for us to send you the small amounts that crypto-earning games pay. If your wallet only shows the Ethereum mainnet balance, your Optimism ETH is invisible until you tell the wallet to also watch Optimism.
How to add Optimism in each wallet
- Trust Wallet → Optimism is built in. Tap the "Manage tokens" or "+" icon on the home screen, search for "Optimism", and enable ETH on Optimism. Or wait — once any balance arrives, Trust auto-shows it.
- Coinbase Wallet → Optimism is built in. Open settings → "Default network" or switch from the top dropdown. Some versions auto-show all chains by default.
- MetaMask → you need to add it once. Open the network dropdown at the top of the home screen → "Add network" → search for "Optimism" → confirm. Or use Chainlist's one-click add: chainlist.org → Optimism. Detailed steps: Optimism help center.
Once Optimism is enabled, your CryptoPop ETH will appear there.
Claim and verify
- Inside CryptoPop, scroll to your Game Balance or Task Balance section.
- Tap Claim when you've crossed the minimum threshold.
- Wait 1–10 minutes. Optimism transactions are fast but not instantaneous.
- Open your Web3 wallet → switch to Optimism network → the ETH should be there.
- You'll also get a confirmation email at the address you entered, so you have a paper trail.

FAQ
Why does CryptoPop pay ETH on Optimism instead of Ethereum mainnet?
Gas fees. On Ethereum mainnet, a single ETH transfer costs ~$1–$10 depending on network congestion. Most CryptoPop claims are between $0.20 and $5 — sending those on mainnet would mean paying more in gas than the payout. Optimism keeps the same ETH currency and the same security guarantees (it inherits from Ethereum) but charges roughly 100× less per transaction. That's the only economically viable way to pay small amounts.
What if I send my Optimism ETH to a wallet that doesn't support Optimism?
The funds arrive at the correct address but the wallet UI might not display them until you enable the Optimism network. No funds are lost — they're sitting at your address, you just need to add the network so the wallet knows to look there. One-tap fix in modern wallets.
Can I use my Binance or Coinbase exchange account as the Web3 wallet?
Not recommended. Exchange accounts often don't support Optimism deposits, and even when they do, some won't credit deposits below their internal minimum (which can be higher than CryptoPop's claim threshold). If you have a Binance account, use the in-app Binance Gift Card option instead — it's purpose-built for that and works perfectly. The Web3 Wallet button is specifically for self-custody wallets.
What's the difference between Coinbase Wallet and the Coinbase exchange?
Two different apps from the same company. Coinbase exchange = the company holds your keys, you log in with email/password, deposits and trades happen on their books. Coinbase Wallet = self-custody, you hold your own keys via a seed phrase, transactions happen on-chain. For CryptoPop's Web3 Wallet option you want Coinbase Wallet (the separate app), not the exchange.
Why does CryptoPop ask for my email if I'm using a Web3 wallet?
Web3 wallet addresses don't have an inbox. We use the email purely to notify you: payout confirmation emails after each claim, alerts when your task-balance gets credited from offerwall rewards, and occasionally important account or app updates. Your email is never shared with offerwall partners or third parties. A throwaway address works fine if you don't want to use your main one.
What does a valid Ethereum address look like?
Always 42 characters, always starts with 0x, contains only hex characters (0–9 and a–f, with both upper and lower case used as a checksum). Example: 0x6d0912B5761561dFca4D799C5Ffabc4D799C5Ffabc. Triple-check the paste — extra spaces, missing characters, or stripped capitalization can mean your ETH goes to a different (or non-existent) address.
Is there a minimum amount to claim ETH on Optimism?
Yes — check the Withdraw screen inside CryptoPop for the current minimum. It's set to keep gas costs reasonable even on Optimism. If you're below the threshold, keep grinding the game or complete offerwall tasks (those credit to your task-balance, which has separate rules) until you reach it.
Will this wallet work for future Vweeter airdrops?
Yes — that's actually a side benefit. If we ever distribute tokens to active CryptoPop players (which is on the roadmap, no dates), the snapshot will use the Web3 wallets connected to active accounts. Pasting a self-custody address into CryptoPop both unlocks ETH withdrawals today and registers you as eligible for whatever on-chain rewards we ship later.
I lost my seed phrase. Can I recover my wallet?
No. The seed phrase is the only backup — that's the whole point of self-custody. If you've lost it and still have access to the app on your phone, transfer your funds out immediately to a new wallet (where you'll write down the seed phrase this time). If you've lost both the seed phrase and access to the app, the funds are unrecoverable. This is the cost of self-custody — total control means total responsibility.
