Hello community, this is BORA team.
In BORA ISLAND Guide Part 1, we’ve covered the overall introduction and the features of BORA ISLAND. Today we are going to guide you through how to use BORA Wallet to enjoy BApps on BORA ISLAND.
BORA ISLAND Wallet
Joining BORA ISLAND will automatically create a BORA Wallet and a BORA SHELL Wallet. The BORA Wallet shows the amount of BORA tokens you have, and SHELL Wallet is divided back into SHELL Main Wallet and SHELL App Wallet depending on the scope of use. You can check the key functions of BORA Wallet on the bottom right of the mobile app and the menu bar on the top or right side of the website.
Want to find out more about BORA's dual token structure? LINK.
BORA token: ERC-20 token based on ethereum tradable from the exchanges.
BORA Shell (Token): Exclusive cryptocurrency for BORA platform (ex. purchase of items).
● Only Test BORA tokens and Test SHELL Tokens are available for a limited time to improve and stabilize our service based on the user's feedback. Please be careful not to transfer BORA, SHELL tokens from the Mainnet to the current version of BORA ISLAND Wallet.
Let’s take a look at ‘Push Sushi’ BApp on BORA ISLAND as an example and find out key features and how to use BORA Wallet.
Want to find out more about ‘Push Sushi?’ LINK.
SHELL App Wallet
From ‘SHELL Wallet’ menu, you can check the list of SHELL App Wallets assigned to each BORA BApp you played. By playing ‘Push Sushi’ BApp, you will naturally receive BORA SHELL as a reward, and they are gathered in your ‘Push Sushi’ SHELL App Wallet, and they can only be used within ‘Push Sushi.’
Because each BApp has an assigned Wallet, it does not affect other Wallets allowing you to manage assets from each BApp safely.
Want to use SHELL collected from ‘Push Sushi’ in other BApp?
Since all of the BApps on BORA ISLAND use SHELL, you can use your SHELL more efficiently. So, what if you want to play another game such as ‘Find Bird’ with SHELL collected from ‘Push Sushi’? Let's take a look at how to transfer SHELL between BApp Wallets.
In order to transfer SHELL collected from ‘Push Sushi’ to ‘Find Bird’, you must import SHELL from ‘Push Sushi’ App to SHELL Main Wallet. This is because transmission of SHELL between the BApps is done through SHELL Main Wallets. From SHELL Wallet menu, click 'Import from the App'.
From the ‘Import from the App’ menu, select ‘Push Sushi’ and confirm. It will show you the amount of SHELL you have in Push Sushi App Wallet, and you either choose to ‘Import All’ or enter the exact amount you want to import from the App Wallet.
Double check the total amount before importing SHELL from the App. Once you enter your BORA security key the transfer is done with no fees. J
You can see that the amount of SHELL in your Main Wallet has changed.
Now, let’s send SHELL to ‘Find Bird’ App Wallet. Click 'Export to the App', select ‘Find Bird’ App Wallet and follow the procedure with no fees.
Exchanging SHELL with BORA
Now that you participated in events and played BApps, you have collected quiet a lot of SHELL in your SHELL Wallet. Let's exchange SHELL to BORA token tradable at the exchanges. But first, you must import all of the SHELL in App Wallets into SHELL Main Wallet. Only the remaining balance in your SHELL Main Wallet can be exchanged to BORA token.
From the SHELL Wallet menu, click 'Exchange' and enter the amount of SHELL that you want to exchange to BORA.
Once you enter the amount of SHELL you want to exchange and type in the Security key, you can see that BORA token, in the ratio of 1 BORA :1000 SHELL has been added to the BORA Wallet.
Conversely, you can convert your BORA into SHELL. SHELL proportional to the BORA token to be converted is added to the SHELL Main Wallet. If you want to use SHELL to play or purchase items BApps, you need to export certain amount of SHELL to the designated SHELL App Wallet.
- Please keep in mind that conversion of BORA token into SHELL us free but there will be a small portion of fee when converting SHELL into BORA token.
Sending BORA to another Wallet
Now let's send BORA token to another Wallet. (Since BORA ISLAND Wallet is an exclusive Wallet for BORA tokens and SHELL, conversion or trading of other tokens or cryptocurrencies can only be done through the external exchanges or wallets).
From the ‘BORA Wallet’ menu, you can ‘Send BORA’ to other Wallets. Simply enter the amount of BORA token you want to send and type in receiving wallet address. If the recipient is a member of BORA ISLAND, all you need is their account ID, an Email address, to complete the transfer.
- Make sure to enter a correct wallet address, once the transfer is done, there is no turning back!
If you someone is trying to send you BORA or you want to transfer your BORA from an external wallet into BORA ISLAND Wallet, your BORA ISLAND Wallet address or QR code is available from Receive BORA menu.
All the transaction records of both BORA token and SHELL can easily be found in ‘Transaction History.’
BORA ISLAND Soft-Launching Event
Did you all participate in the BORA ISLAND Soft-Launching Event? J Various event where you can get an actual BORA token as a reward is currently underway, don’t miss out an opportunity to receive BORA and help us make BORA ISLAND better.

BORA Team.
The article is quite informative and I gained a perfect understanding of the Bora Island and the different wallets which are needed to have an easy stride on the Bora Platform. I would love to earn some Bora Tokens, but the Link to become a pioneer was not embedded in the post. Would appreciate If it can be added.
What's a pioneer?
How does it work?
Do you earn from it?
Hi! I am a robot. I just upvoted you! I found similar content that readers might be interested in:

this is definitely a welcomed improvement, i like what am seeing the UI is cool
Yeah, it's quite a cool UI too. Everything is looking well planned out.
the UI/UX is very simple and friendly, BORA Island is taking serious shape right now
Its Good article..gives a plenty for information regarding the use of bora wallet to enjoy BApps ..am really looking forward and excited how its going work .
Do you have an App on App Store? Do I need BORA tokens to get bApps?
In the Bora Island, all the BApps is included, infact the Bora Island is the App Store. Secondly, you don't need the Bora Tokens to get BApps, you only need the Bora Shell Tokens to gain access to some contents in the BApp, though you can convert the Bora Tokens to the Bora Shell tokens.
I don't think you need the token. It was mentioned in the article and secondly, the only time I read something about fee is when you want to convert from SHELL token to BORA.
Okay..so do they have mentioned how much exact amount need to pay for it..as am intrested in converting shell into bora token ..any information?
No. The amount wasn't stated. It was only said that a little fee will be charged. You can go through the post again though for better understanding and clarity.
And once its converted to bora, one can easily convert it to other cryptocurrencies, right?
Anyone attempted to run this game and earn from it?
Share your experience
don't think anyone have played it i waiting for users review
Hope they will give priority to both android and iOS users, it will also be nice to get a video tutorial
Not seen any review yet. Hope the users are not too engrossed in the games though.
lol, engrossed in the games i still believe someone somewhere will post a comment
I like this. It shows that Bora listens to its community. I am just wondering why they had to divide it into 3 wallets.
yeah, what is SHELL token i expect BORA token to be the basic token on the platform
Shell token you can earn from Bora island or use at Bora island and then you can then convert it to BORA token if you want to encash
It will 1 Shell = 1 Bora or multiple tokens = 1 Bora? Can we have any info about it?
Definitely an in-depth explanation of the platform. This is great
Bora is stepping up. Their Bora Island is already looking really good and it's very intuitive to use.
