If Web3 Adoption Is Going To Be Driven by Gaming, We’re Going To Need Better Tools

TL;DR

  • Solana just launched 'GameShift,' which is a unified API designed to make developing ​Web3​ games way easier.

  • Just because a team of developers knows how to code together a game, doesn't mean they know how to code/integrate ​blockchain​-based in-game items/currencies. Unified API's like GameShift help to solve that.

Solana just launched 'GameShift,' which is a unified API designed to make developing ​Web3​ games way easier.

Up-bup-bup! Don't scroll away.

We know that listing this story under '🔎 This seems important' might feel like a stretch - but hear us out!

We believe the gaming space is going to be a big (dare we say, main) driver of crypto adoption in the coming years, because gamers already spend hours collecting digital items and in-game currencies, for fun!

Giving those items/currencies real-world value feels like a logical next step in growing the industry - and crypto is the way to do it.

Now. Here's the problem...

Just because a team of developers knows how to code together a game, doesn't mean they know how to code/integrate ​blockchain​-based in-game items/currencies.

That's a steep learning curve!

Unified API's like GameShift help to solve that.

Think of it like building a house from scratch (no API), vs. building a house using pre-fabricated modular pieces (with an API).

You still need experience in building and construction to do either, but the latter is a whole lot easier and faster!
