The gnomewallet, annotated: your burrow of hobbit doors (one per gnome), the signpost, and past it the mushroom market hall where FOR SALE signs hang.

--- title: "The Gnomes — the gnomewallet" description: "Your side of the gnome world: the burrow, the gnomenclature (6n0m3… addresses and .gnome names), and the lowercase world behind the settings pill." category: "gnomes" keywords: ["gnomewallet", "burrow", "gnomenclature", "6n0m3", ".gnome", "gnome matter what"] last_updated: "2026-07-19" --- # the gnomewallet The GNOME tab is the gnome's home. The **gnomewallet** is yours — an entire world in a modal, and deliberately not the platform's world: carved timber, plank walls, a shingle sign swinging on ropes, hobbit doors with brass knobs, a lantern over everything, spores in the lamplight, and a mushroom ring along the floor. Stepping in is meant to feel like the mushroom worked. **How:** After your first gnome wakes, tap the ⍙ pill in Settings → the Wallet row. - **①︎ The burrow** — one door per gnome you keep; tap a door and its keeper greets you. - **②︎ The signpost** — the way through; the whole world stays lowercase. - **③︎ [the mushroom market](/docs/gnomes/the-mushroom-market)** — the only venue where a gnome changes hands. One convention rules the whole place: **the gnome world is a lowercase world.** gnomewallet, the mushroom market, your `.gnome` name, the motto — *"gnome matter what"* — all of it, always. ## Getting in The gnomewallet reveals itself: the moment your first gnome wakes ([the Awakening](/docs/gnomes/the-awakening)), a ⍙ pill appears in Settings → the Wallet row, beside the fiat toggle. No gnome, no pill — the door simply isn't there yet. ## The gnomenclature Crossing the threshold issues your identity in the gnome world, derived from your real wallet and permanent: - **Your gnome address** — same shape as an Ethereum address, but it starts `6n0m3` and the rest is dug deterministically from your real address. It signs nothing and never will; it is the hill's way of writing your name in its books. - **Your `.gnome` name** — your PD handle in the world's own registry: `brendon.gnome`. No auction, no renewal fee, no squatting; it's simply yours because you are. ## The two wings - **my burrow** — every gnome in your keeping, each standing in its own door: figure alive on its own beat, rarity plate over the arch, the awakening record below, and the sign controls (hang a FOR SALE sign, or take it down). Tap a gnome and it speaks to you as its favorite person — in your own burrow, you always rank. - **[the mushroom market](/docs/gnomes/the-mushroom-market)** — the market hall, one signpost over. ## What the gnomewallet is not It holds no ETH, no tokens, no keys, and it can't send anything anywhere. It is a display case and a deed box for a real-fake collection — which is exactly why it can afford to be this charming.
