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.

I’m proud to announce that we will be launching the Testnet version of our Blockchain SDK just in time to demo it at world’s largest game industry event — GDC.

On the 14th of March, we will launch the Blockchain SDK to the Unity Asset Store—putting Enjin’s powerful blockchain game development tools into the hands of millions of Unity developers.

Needless to say, we’re excited.

The Blockchain SDK has been a labor of love, developed by our team of AAA developers who have worked for the likes of BioWare, Activision, IO Interactive, and EA.

We’ve built the Blockchain SDK for the benefit of developers and gamers alike.

To help game studios meet high-level KPIs for monetization, valuation, virality, and retention; to rapidly advance true item ownership; and to fuel new game experiences.

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

Invented by our CTO Witek Radomski and Enjin Team, Ethereum-based ERC-1155 tokens build on the features of the ERC-20 and ERC-721 token standards.

Known as the “Multi Token Standard,” ERC-1155 enables developers to create unlimited fungible (identical) and non-fungible (unique) assets with a single smart contract — resulting in faster transaction times, significantly lower gas fees, and the ability to mass produce tokens with minimal effort.

The Blockchain SDK will enable developers to integrate blockchain assets into games for over 25 mass market platforms, including Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, and Microsoft.

Because of the thorough standardization of ERC-1155 data structures, these next-generation blockchain assets offer instant interoperability, meaning developers can integrate any ERC-1155 asset stored on the public Ethereum blockchain without any extra effort.

To date, more than 45 games, apps, and websites have adopted ERC-1155, many of which have opted to share select assets—enabling users to utilize their virtual item inventory across multiple games and platforms.
