Version 2.5 of ChainSafe Gaming’s web3.unity SDK is live!
This is a big one — our latest web3.unity update gives game developers the power to alleviate one of web3 gaming’s most daunting challenges: player onboarding.
By working with Web3Auth and Gelato, we’ve given game devs the tools they need to simplify their game’s onramps.
Why is onboarding so important to your game’s success?
In 2022, a Morning Consult study estimated that roughly 20% of Americans own some type of cryptocurrency. That seems like a decent audience — until you start drilling down. According to Finder, only 9.4% of U.S. citizens played a web3 game last year, with a marginal 7.1% planning to try one within the year.
By building your game with web3.unity, you can now tap into a much wider audience. Owning cryptocurrency is no longer a barrier to entry with the addition of gasless transactions (thanks, Gelato!). With social logins through Web3Auth, you can even save your players the trouble of learning to use a blockchain wallet.
