### Approve Sign-in Request

Review the permissions that the game is requesting for, and once you're happy click the "Approve" button to popup a sign-in request message via MetaMask. Signing this message does not make a transaction to the blockchain, it simply approves the request via your wallet.

After signing the message, the game will recognize it and update your account with the connected wallet address.
