This week at Solana Breakpoint, a two-day conference hosted by Solana Labs, Google Cloud has joined hands with Solana Labs leading the web3-powered gaming industry upwards. Gameshift, a web3 API of Solana Labs, provides Web3 primitives and actions such as tokenized assets, wallets, and access to on-chain markets which Web3 games require. This is where Google Cloud brings its offering, wherein users can get access to the Gameshift offerings on Google Cloud Marketplace. As Web3 technologies continue to shape the gaming industry, the partnership is a step in the right direction where P2E gaming experiences are becoming more immersive and rewarding.
GameShift’s Plug and Play Integration with Google Cloud
GameShift is making the Web3 technologies accessible to developers with their REST API approach. Now developers can create wallets, manage assets, and access rewards with GameShift’s tools. For studios that are already overwhelmed by game production timelines can now easily be onboarded with GameShift’s API. GameShift strips away the technical and operational demands of Web3, empowering developers to do what they do best — create games.
GoogleCloud has been a strong supporter of Web3 technologies, offering solutions such as Blockchain Node Engine and BigQuery data sets for Web3 in addition to hosting its Web3 Startup Programs. The partnership with GameShift will now enable developers to build frictionless customer experiences and scale their projects using Google CLoud’s resources.
Solana and Web3 Gaming
Solana continues to play a crucial role as a reliable Web3 gaming blockchain network due to its scalability and speed features, having a competitive edge over other blockchains. Moreover, Solana is already a top performer in NFTs and the decentralized exchange marketplace, further solidifying its role in the Web3 P2E gaming ecosystem. The partnership between GameShift and Solana will ensure developers have easy access to wallets, tokenized assets, and other functionalities of the Web3 marketplace. Further, a major pain point for Web3 adoption happens to be its technology is difficult to comprehend. Solana, GameShift, and Google Cloud aim to tackle this problem head-on by allowing developers to leverage features such as pay-in and pay-out, asset management, and customized reward mechanisms to simplify adoption.
