## TL; DR
Unity has introduced a web3 tool box in its Game store.
It has incorporated SDKs for MetaMask, <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a>, <a href="/price/tezos-xtz" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Tezos</a> and <a href="/price/immutablex-imx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ImmutableX</a>.

Developers who use Unity Game engine need fewer resources than otherwise.

MetaMask SDK enables game developers to integrate its products on their platforms.

## Introduction 
DappRadar’s recent report shows that the activities of gamers contributed 48% of all blockchain engagements in January 2023. Similarly, there was an increase in gaming tokens during that period, an indication that more consumers are interested in web3 games. On average the values of gaming tokens increased by 122% while the investment in metaverse and blockchain games totalled $156 million within the month.

Nevertheless, the interest in web3 gaming is not just confined to user activity but infrastructural development as well. Today, we cover how Unity, a game engine, has integrated various SDKs to equip its web3 store with the tools gaming developers require.

## What is Unity?

Unity is a game engine with a built in Integrated Development Platform (IDE) used for developing video games for various gadgets like desktops, smartphones and consoles.  Since it is a cross development platform game engine, it enables the creation of gaming applications very simple. More importantly, Unity’s infrastructure has features that support 2D and 3D development as well as functionalities suitable for different games.

Using Unity’s technology developers can easily export their games to more than ten platforms including Windows, Xbox, Web, iOS, Android, and Playstation. In addition, Unity has the right infrastructure that enables developers to incorporate Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality technologies in their gaming protocols. To buy Unity (UNT), click here.

Notably, Unity has increased the products in its Asset store enabling game developers to choose from various tools. For instance, they can integrate different game components in their platforms which reduce their resource utilization.

Further to this, Unity, through its ML-Agents, enables gaming platforms to incorporate elements of artificial intelligence (AI) into their products. As an example, they can code their characters, bots and game levels using AI.

As expected, Unity has an advanced data analytic technology which offers access to user inflow data and game information. Therefore, the gaming platforms can evaluate their performances on the market and compare themselves against their competitors.

## Integration with MetaMask, <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> and Truffle 
Recently, Unity introduced an online storefront for web3 gaming products. In fact, it has added 13 blockchain based software developer kits (SDKs) which include those for MetaMask, <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a>, Dapper Labs’ <a href="/price/flow-flow" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Flow</a> blockchain, <a href="/price/immutablex-imx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ImmutableX</a>, <a href="/price/algorand-algo" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Algorand</a>, <a href="/price/aptos-apt" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Aptos</a>, and <a href="/price/tezos-xtz" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Tezos</a>. Such tools enable blockchain developers to integrate their applications with these blockchains or their products which should improve their security as well as gaming experience.

As an example, the MetaMask SDK allows developers to integrate MetaMask into their games. That enables the users to connect their MetaMask wallets to the gaming platforms. To this effect, MetaMask said, “The gaming industry is rapidly growing, and the Web3 gaming sector is attracting significant investment. Our listing in Unity will bring Web3 values to the gaming industry. It’s a whole new era for gaming devs.”

MetaMask integration into web3 gaming platforms through the Unity game engine helps users to sign in the various platforms using MetaMask, a self-custodial wallet. This means that such gamers will maintain self-custody of their digital assets like NFTs.

The Unity Game Store also contains Truffle Suite and Infura, Consensys’ other products. By the way, Consensy is the company that  owns MetaMask.

In a similar manner, game developers using other blockchains like <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a>, <a href="/price/tezos-xtz" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Tezos</a>, and <a href="/price/immutablex-imx" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ImmutableX</a> can also integrate relevant tools using Unity Engine since it has incorporated different SDKs and APIs in its store for decentralized tools. This makes it very easy for the gaming platforms to integrate cryptocurrencies and NFTs. 
 
It is also important to note that Sandbox, <a href="/price/decentraland-mana" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Decentraland</a>, and Dogam are examples of web3 games which have been developed using the Unity game engine. Therefore, many other independent game developers can use Unity to develop their gaming protocols.

## Impact of Unity Web3 Toolbox on the gaming industry 
The Unity game engine is a game changer as it brings convenience and cost effectiveness in the gaming industry. First, it reduces entry barriers in the gaming sector as developers have a less costly platform for creating their multiplayer games.

Unity’s blockchain-based web3 solutions make it very simple for developers to come up with world-class games which are user-friendly. At the same time, the technology opens room for gaming platforms to have new revenue streams. For example, developers can easily integrate NFTs and other digital assets in their games enabling them to generate more revenue.

Another important thing is that it is free to use the Unity game engine when developing games. The platforms will only pay for the service when they scale up their gaming activities. This makes it convenient for many developers to launch their games.

In addition, the integration will enable game developers to come up with novel models of asset ownership. For example, it makes it possible for gamers to create, obtain and own in-game resources which they can trade in the future.

## Conclusion 
Unity, through its Integrated Development Platform (IDE), enables game developers to integrate its tools on their gaming platforms. As a result, they are able to develop their games using fewer resources than otherwise. Specifically, Unity has integration with MetaMask, <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> and Truffle suite. With such a tool set, developers can make use of existing cryptocurrencies like <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana crypto</a> on their platforms.
