Subject: [PATCH] An embedded wallet born on Ethereum cannot pay for anything
 here
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Privy provider never named a chain, so every embedded wallet it mints was
created on Ethereum mainnet. That is the same failure the owner hit in the OKX
browser an hour ago, arriving from the other direction: a real wallet, a real
key, and the wrong network — so it can neither pay for a Season Pass nor, once
season payouts start reaching embedded wallets, be somewhere the money is
useful.

    defaultChain: celo      the chain an embedded wallet is CREATED on
    supportedChains: [celo] the list an EXTERNAL wallet is asked to be in

Both, because the gate offers both kinds of sign-in and neither should land
somewhere the game cannot transact.

`celo` is imported from viem/chains — the same object lib/WagmiIsland.tsx hands
wagmi — so the two halves of the app cannot drift onto different ideas of which
network this game runs on.

This is a prerequisite for paying through Privy, not the whole of it: a fresh
embedded wallet still holds nothing, and buying a $1 item means transferring $1
of real USDT. The funding question is the owner's to answer and is not decided
here.

Verified: tsc clean, build unchanged at 142/242 kB, 24/24 test:privy,
check:copy clean, lint 35.
