Lesson 3

Game developer portal and Gaimin's API ecosystem

This module introduces Gaimin's Game Developer Portal (GDP), explains its functions, and how developers can use the portal to integrate blockchain functionality into games.

Gaimin's Game Developer Portal (GDP) is designed to help game developers integrate blockchain and Web3 functionality (such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital game assets (DGA)) into their games. The portal provides access to APIs and SDKs, simplifying the integration of these assets to achieve a secure, decentralized in-game economic system.

GDP supports popular game engines, including Unity and Unreal Engine, making it easy to integrate blockchain functionality into existing game development processes. Although Gaimin focuses on providing user-friendly tools, the SDK for advanced blockchain features may vary depending on the ongoing development of the platform.

Developers can also access Gaimin's decentralized infrastructure gaimin.cloud, which utilizes gamers' idle GPU computing power to complete blockchain-related tasks, video rendering, and other computational needs. This infrastructure helps developers build high-performance, blockchain-supported games without requiring significant resource investment.

Step-by-step guide to game integration (via GDP)

  1. Register developer accountFirst, developers need to register on the Gaimin Developer Portal (GDP), providing project information to gain access to Gaimin's documentation, APIs, and SDKs. This step ensures that developers meet Gaimin's security and quality standards.
  2. Access API and SDKAfter registration, developers can use Gaimin's API and SDK, which simplify the integration of blockchain functions such as NFT, DGA, and smart contracts, making it easy to create in-game economies and manage assets owned by players.
  3. Tokenized in-game assets:Developers can tokenize in-game items (such as props, skins, or collectibles) using Gaimin's tools. Digital assets are securely stored on the blockchain, ensuring players have complete ownership of the assets. While Gaimin supports NFT creation, cross-game interoperability features are still in development.
  4. Implement smart contractsDevelopers manage in-game transactions and digital assets through smart contracts. These contracts automate the exchange of NFTs and DGAs between players, ensuring that all transactions are securely and transparently recorded on the blockchain.
  5. Testing ToolDevelopers can use the GDP testing tool to verify the blockchain integration of the game, including NFT transfer, GMRX token trading, and smart contract functionality. Gaimin will also provide developers with feedback to help resolve any issues that arise during testing.
  6. Release gameAfter completing the testing phase, developers can release their games on the Gaimin platform. Players can start earning GMRX tokens, trading NFTs, and interacting with the decentralized features of the game.

Blockchain integration of NFT and DGA in the game

Gaimin's Game Developer Portal (GDP) provides developers with the tools needed to integrate NFTs and DGA. These digital assets, once tokenized, are stored on the blockchain, allowing players to own, trade, or sell these assets.

Through blockchain integration, developers can create decentralized economies in their games and achieve cross-game interoperability of NFTs and DGAs. This is a continuously evolving feature in the Gaimin ecosystem. While Gaimin aims to support asset transfer between multiple games, this feature is still under development and may not be fully implemented in all games at the moment.

The use of smart contracts ensures the security and automation of transactions, preventing fraud and manipulation of player assets. These contracts are programmed to transparently manage asset transfers and in-game token economies, enhancing the trustworthiness of decentralized economies.

Technical review and approval process for new games

Before a game can be released on the Gaimin platform, it must undergo rigorous technical review to ensure security, performance, and compliance with blockchain protocols.

  1. SubmitDevelopers submit games through GDP, detailing how to integrate blockchain features such as NFTs, DGA, and smart contracts. The submission includes information on game mechanics and performance indicators.
  2. Security ReviewGaimin's security team assesses the blockchain integration of games to ensure the security of smart contracts and the correct storage of digital assets. This review helps prevent hacking, fraud, or manipulation of the gaming economy.
  3. Blockchain Compliance ReviewCompliance review ensures that the use of NFT, DGA, and GMRX tokens in games complies with Gaimin's protocol requirements, checking that all transactions and assets are correctly recorded on the blockchain.
  4. Performance TestingGaimin evaluates the performance of the game to ensure it can handle the load of real-time transactions, a large number of players, and smart contract execution without delay or lag.
  5. Game Experience AssessmentThe integration of blockchain functionality must enhance rather than disrupt the core gameplay. Gaimin assesses the user interface and the interaction of players with blockchain assets to ensure a smooth and seamless experience.
  6. ApprovedOnce the game has passed all reviews and evaluations, it will be approved for release on the Gaimin platform. Players can start interacting with the game's blockchain features, trading assets, and participating in token-based economies.

Analysis and insight tools available to developers

Gaimin Game Developer Portal (GDP) provides developers with analytics tools to monitor game performance and player interaction with blockchain functionality. This data helps developers optimize their games and track the success of in-game economies.

  1. Player EngagementDevelopers can track players' activities, including interaction with NFTs, DGAs, and GMRX tokens. This data helps developers understand how players interact with blockchain functionality.
  2. Asset PerformanceDevelopers can monitor the performance of in-game assets, such as the trading frequency of NFTs and DGAs, and which items are most popular among players.
  3. Token Economy Insights: The GDP analysis tool also tracks the flow of GMRX tokens, helping developers maintain a balanced in-game economy by monitoring token earning, consumption, and trading.
