Update: you can now create a wallet directly in Oxygen Donuts

We added a simple way to create a wallet on the site: email login, no browser extension, and no complicated crypto setup.

We added a new option for streamers who want to accept crypto donations but do not want to deal with browser extensions, networks, and complicated setup right away. Now you can create a wallet directly in Oxygen Donuts.

What changed

Before, getting started meant connecting your own crypto wallet, such as Rabby, MetaMask, or Trust Wallet. Now there is a simpler option: create a wallet in Oxygen. It is built on Privy, sign-in works through email, and donations arrive in the wallet attached to your page.

Who the new option is for

  1. 1
    If you are new

    Choose the wallet in Oxygen. You do not need to install a browser extension or understand wallets before the first launch.

  2. 2
    If you already have your own wallet

    You can still connect Rabby, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or another EVM wallet that you already use.

  3. 3
    If you are not sure

    Read the short wallet choice guide first. After the payout wallet is registered, it cannot simply be replaced.

What this gives streamers

The new setting removes the most annoying barrier for a web2 user: you do not need to install a separate crypto wallet before enabling donations. You create a page, choose the wallet option, receive donations, and can show alerts in OBS.

You can receive donations without manually confirming every payment. If you later want to send funds from the wallet, you will need a network fee: ETH on Base or BNB on BNB Chain.

Do I need to install Rabby or MetaMask?
No, not if you choose the wallet in Oxygen. This option was created as a simpler start for users without crypto experience.
Why is Privy mentioned?
Privy is used as the technical foundation for the embedded wallet and email login. For the user, it looks like creating a wallet inside Oxygen Donuts.
Can I replace the payout wallet later?
After the payout wallet is registered in the contracts, it cannot simply be replaced. That is why it is better to choose the right option calmly before confirming.
