A Web3 game “should feel just like a traditional game.”

Benefits for Web3 game developers

The protocol says the implementation process requires minimal technical overhead and is straightforward, giving developers control over the transaction interface, allowing them to match the look and feel of the game. At the same time, the system manages the blockchain connections behind the scenes.

While the feature improves players' experience in a dynamic ecosystem, it only works with in-game assets. The protocol ensures that this is in a controlled and secure environment. Still, it plans to expand its capabilities to support Imitable (IMX), USD Coin (USDC), and Ether (ETH).
