What is Stardust?
Stardust is designed to power the metaverse by enabling game developers to integrate blockchain into their games with a simplistic API. This provides a seamless ecosystem for game publishers to build and scale metaverse-ready games, offering an innovative back-end wallet solution and the chance to monetize in-game using blockchain data across web3, ultimately paving the path for building full-scale applications on blockchain.
Simplifying the process
Today’s announcement marks a significant advancement for Sui’s ecosystem by improving and simplifying the developer onboarding process. Stardust’s infrastructure tools aim to reduce the barrier to entry for developers to deploy games directly onto the Sui platform, allowing them to focus on creating compelling and fun gaming experiences. Creators will benefit from Sui’s scalability, low fees, and fast-growing community, increasing their game’s visibility and adoption.
The purpose of Stardust is to help scale web3 games to millions of players, serving as a trusted partner for various top game developers. Stardust will embed Sui into their Wallets-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform and User Acquisition tools, further enabling better user experiences. Stardust selected the Sui blockchain due to its scalability and ability to handle a large number of transactions while maintaining low gas fees.
Canaan Linder, Founder & CEO at Stardust, said, “We are thrilled to empower the developer network leveraging Stardust’s infrastructure with the ability to integrate their games directly onto Sui. Game developers can focus less on complicated technical aspects, and go back to creating games that people love. This is a massive step forward not just for Stardust developers, but also for the wider adoption and growth of web3 gaming.”
Sui recently crossed the $500m TVL milestone, continuing to cement itself as one of the leading blockchains for developers to build and launch games on.
Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mysten Labs, said, “At Mysten Labs, we consistently strive to provide our community with the best user experience possible. Our partnership with Stardust will open the doors for both popular and newly created games to integrate into Sui’s ecosystem, making the process easier for developers and providing gamers with a much more comprehensive user experience.”
