Enjin and its new SDK for Unity have landed on Ethereum Testnet

With an active user-base of 4.5 million developers and effectively responsible for 28 billion installs of various game titles, Unity is a dominant force in the world of game design. According to Enjin, it will be launching a blockchain-based SDK for the development giant.

At the moment, it will be timetabled for launch on the Ethereum testnet, meaning that it will be just in time for GDC on 18th-22nd March.

What this means is that this same population of developers will have access to all the potential of Enjin.

To raise awareness of this new SDK, Enjin and Unity will also be working together on what each refers to as an ‘aggressive co-marketing campaign.’

The underlying goal is to bring it to the attention of as many of the millions as possible.

Multiverse now on Unity

With Enjin comes some new advantages for game developers to try out within its SDK.

These include the ERC1155 token standard, providing development studios of all sizes to create, mint and distributed blockchain enabled assets, thus addressing the matter of monetization that impacts on game design profoundly.

The added advantage is item interoperability, a term that is otherwise largely absent from the mainstream gaming world. With Enjin, developers will be able to collaborate with others to increase the replayability of their games by incentivizing players to play and exchange assets.

In other news

The Enjin team has also announced that will be bringing the ERC1155 token standard to its blockchain explorer platform – EnjinX.

Having released in December, EnjinX allows users to search through transactions tokens and various addresses quickly.

In summary

Enjin’s SDK allows Unity users to:
