Unity has just announced the integration of MetaMask and 12 other Web3-related solutions to improve the implementation of decentralized technologies at the heart of gaming. As a result, ConsenSys’ non-custodial wallet is incentivizing developers to use its product through a new program with a grant of up to $100,000.
MetaMask on Unity
Known for being one of the platforms most used by video game developers, Unity has just created a new category dedicated to decentralized technologies on its Asset Store. Developers can now access 13 different Web3-related SDKs, including MetaMask.
Deployed by ConsenSys, this free software allows video game designers to integrate the MetaMask wallet into their creations. Thus, future players will be able to connect with their wallet, exchange items with each other, but also own their own in-game assets.
“Simply buy, own, and trade in-game assets, collectables, and currencies”
To increase its presence in the world of gaming, ConsenSys has just announced the launch of a new program called Sidequest. Its objective is to bring out new games integrating Web3 technologies such as non-fungible tokens (NFT) and on-chain authentication. During this experience, collaborative workshops will take place with a $100,000 grant.
This merger between MetaMask and Unity could upset the world of gaming by offering all developers simpler and faster tools to integrate into their games. And ConsenSys does not intend to stop there: a collaboration is to come between its digital wallet and the Unreal Engine software.

Unity: a committed player in Web3
MetaMask is not the only entity to have deployed its development kit on Unity. Tezos, Solana and Aptos have each delivered a free solution for developers.
In order to reassure its users, the 13 products integrated into Unity have been verified beforehand by the platform according to three criteria : the existence of an establishment with a public presence, resilient products over the long term, as well as actions allowing the reduction of the environmental impact of the technologies used.
This isn’t the first time that Unity has made a name for itself in the Web3 world. In effect, The Sandbox and Decentraland metaverses both come from the features offered by the Californian firm.
Its new commitment to decentralized technologies is a way to incentivize video game developers towards new ways of apprehending the possession of the items in play, as she points out on her webpage:
” In the context of video game development, decentralization generally refers to ownership models within the game. In practice, it is about activating mechanisms that allow players to create, earn or obtain in-game resources that they can sell or trade. Smart contracts, wallets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrencies are some examples of technologies that enable decentralization in gaming. »
Like the French successes of the games Sorare and The Sandboxeverything suggests that we are heading towards a new trend in Web3 with new use cases in the future.

Always enthusiastic about new technologies, I gradually moved closer to Web3-related activities during the year 2021. Over time, I wanted to add my stone to the building. It was then that I became an editor, with the aim of explaining cryptocurrency-related topics to as many people as possible.
