Unity launches decentralized technology tools for game developers

Unity Technologies, developer of the Unity game engine, has launched a new set of decentralized technology tools for game developers looking to add decentralization to their games.

Unity said that “decentralization” in a gaming context refers to “models of ownership in games that allow players to create, earn, or obtain in-game resources that they can then sell or trade.”

Essentially, developers can now turn in-game assets into NFTs and integrate their games with various blockchains and web3 ecosystems.

The decentralization category on the Unity Asset Page includes 13 verified solutions for game developers that allow different functionality.

Developers can use some of these SDKs to easily integrate NFTs, tokens, and on-chain programs into their Unity-based games, while others allow integration of marketplaces and interoperability with wallets and other dapps.

Game developers building on Unity have the option to build on Ethereum, Solana, Algorand, Tezos, Aptos and Flow blockchains via the SDKs.

Additionally, developers can integrate MetaMask in their games, which seems to be the only wallet-based SDK available for now.
