ZBD Gamertags are unique identifiers that make sending rewards as easy as tagging a friend. Every ZBD user has a gamertag – their identity across the entire rewards ecosystem.

Like Social Handles - Gamertags work like Twitter handles or Discord usernames. Easy to remember, easy to share, perfect for rewards.

​
What Are Gamertags?

Unique Identifiers

Portable Identity

​
Why Gamertags Matter

​
For Developers

No Wallet Management

// Traditional crypto payment
const address = "bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh";
// 😱 Users are usually scared of long unreadable addresses

// ZBD Gamertag payment
const gamertag = "player123";
// 😊 Simple and memorable!

Users already have gamertags - you just send rewards.

​
For Users

  • Easy to Share - Put it in bio, stream overlay, or business card
  • Privacy First - Reveals nothing about wallet balance
  • Changeable - Users can update their gamertag anytime

Technical Considerations

​
Gamertag vs User ID

Important: Gamertags can change! For permanent user tracking, use the immutable User ID.

// Get permanent User ID from gamertag
const response = await fetch(`/v0/user-id/gamertag/${gamertag}`, {
  headers: { 'apikey': API_KEY }
});

const { id } = await response.json().data;
// id: "0a59bf56-daa3-4888-8330-cbc02eba3a6e" (never changes)

// Use for:
// - User limits/thresholds
// - Historical tracking
// - Database references
