“It’s official! In partnership with Unity Technologies, the Blockchain SDK will be added to the Unity Asset Store on March 14. In just 9 days, Enjin’s powerful blockchain game development tools will be in the hands of 4.5 million Unity developers, enabling them to easily create and integrate next-generation ERC-1155 Ethereum blockchain assets into games for over 25 mass market platforms, such as Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, and Microsoft.” Read More — Maxim Blagov, CEO

Summary

Unity, the world’ most popular game engine, will be adding the Enjin blockchain SDK (software development kit) to the front page of the Unity Asset Store on March 14th, 2019.

The blockchain SDK will enable game and app developers to create and integrate ERC-1155 blockchain assets into their games with ease.

Ethereum-based ERC-1155 tokens build upon the features of ERC-20 and ERC-721 token standards. The ERC-1155 token is a multi-standard token which grants developers the ability to create unlimited fungible and non-fungible assets with a single smart contract.

Significance

The world’s most powerful blockchain game development platform will soon be live on the world’s largest game engine. Unity is the world’s most popular game engine, home to over 4.5 million developers and responsible for 28 billion game installs on 3 billion devices.

This partnership will put Enjin’s blockchain game development tools into the hands of millions of Unity developers. With the SDK, Unity developers will be able to create blockchain assets on the Ethereum testnet and integrate them into games.

Adding blockchain assets will help game studios meet high-level KPIs for monetization, valuation, virality, and retention. It allows for true ownership of in-game digital items, with identity, history, ownership, and all other critical information pertaining to their value stored on an immutable, transparent blockchain.

The usage of ERC-1155 tokens will allow for faster transaction times, lower gas fees, and the ability to mass produce tokens with little effort. It also creates proven scarcity and introduces the benefits of blockchain and cryptocurrency to millions of gamers. This should, in turn, increase awareness and adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies globally.
