We're a two-person team dedicated to building great products. As a Unity C# Developer, I'll be focused on writing clean, robust code for the SDK. The other half of our team is a skilled QA Developer, who will ensure everything is bug-free and polished. We believe this lean, focused structure allows us to move fast and deliver a high-quality product.

This project, the NEAR Unity Gaming SDK, aligns with two key areas of the NEAR ecosystem: Wallets and Contract and Token Standards. The SDK provides a critical tool for game developers, streamlining the process of integrating player wallets and enabling games to interact with on-chain assets that adhere to NEAR's community standards.

The NEAR Unity Gaming SDK proposal aims to solve a key challenge for game developers: the complexity of integrating blockchain technology into their Unity projects. Currently, there is a lack of a comprehensive, all-in-one tool that streamlines this process, creating a significant barrier to entry for game creators interested in building on NEAR.

Our solution is a robust, user-friendly SDK designed specifically for Unity. It will provide a complete toolkit for developers, making it easy to manage player wallets, handle authentication, and interact with on-chain assets like fungible (FTs) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that adhere to NEAR's community standards.

The primary benefit to the NEAR ecosystem will be the accelerated growth of its gaming vertical. By providing a professional-grade SDK, we will significantly lower the barrier for game developers to build on NEAR, attracting more talent and projects to the ecosystem. This will result in a more vibrant and diverse range of on-chain games, increasing user adoption and network activity.

Professional Experience

Examples of relevant experience with NEAR blockchain

Our professional experience includes direct, relevant work in building blockchain SDKs for gaming. We have successfully developed a Unity SDK for EVM-based blockchain games, which provides a strong foundation for this NEAR-specific project. Additionally, our team lead has direct experience building an SDK for AGIX in a previous role, which demonstrates our core development team's ability to work with diverse blockchain technologies and their unique requirements. These projects showcase our capability in integrating complex blockchain functionalities with the Unity game engine and our proficiency in delivering robust, developer-friendly SDKs.

Non-technical capabilities:

In-House Resources;

• Design, UX/UI? The SDK will provide the underlying logic, but we will create intuitive demo scenes and a developer portal for clear user experience.

• Project management? We have a milestone-based approach with clear deliverables and timelines to ensure effective project management.

• Customer support? The developer portal and public GitHub repository will be the main avenues for community support.

• BD / Marketing? Our final deliverable includes a public release on GitHub and the Unity Asset Store, which will serve as the core of our distribution strategy.

Body

The NEAR Unity Gaming SDK addresses a significant need in the NEAR ecosystem by providing a comprehensive and easy-to-use tool for game developers. The current lack of a unified solution for Unity creates a high barrier to entry. Our SDK will solve this by streamlining the integration of player wallets and on-chain assets, aligning perfectly with the Wallets and Contract and Token Standards key areas of the NEAR ecosystem. By lowering this barrier, we can attract more developers, leading to an increase in high-quality gaming projects, greater user adoption, and more activity on the NEAR blockchain.

This solution will be fully open source under a permissive license to encourage community contributions and widespread adoption.

Goals / Milestones

Milestone 1: Cross-Platform Wallet & Authentication

This phase is about building the core infrastructure for secure wallet management and player onboarding. We will be building on the morganpage/near-api-unity repository.

• Timeline: 4 weeks

• Deliverables:

  • Cross-Platform Wallet Integration: A modular C# base class for easy wallet provider integration.

  • Authentication & Session Management: Secure functions for sign-in/out and session management.

  • Demo Scene: A simple Unity scene demonstrating core wallet and authentication features.

  • Documentation: Initial documentation covering setup and API references.

Milestone 2: Smart Contract & On-Chain Asset Management

In this phase, we will add the functionality for interacting with the NEAR blockchain, focusing on FTs and NFTs that align with NEAR's community standards (NEP-141 and NEP-171).

• Timeline: 8 weeks

• Deliverables:

  • Smart Contract RPC Calls: Core functions for transactions and data queries via a C# wrapper.

  • Fungible Token (FT) Integration: Full support for token balance viewing and transfers.

  • Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Integration: Full support for viewing, transferring, and managing NFTs.

  • Demo Scene: An advanced scene showcasing FT/NFT transfers and smart contract interaction.

  • Documentation: Updated guides for using the new smart contract and on-chain asset features.

Milestone 3: The Complete Package

The final milestone focuses on polishing the SDK for community use, creating a high-level SDK for common game tasks, and building a public-facing developer portal.

• Timeline: 3 months

• Deliverables:

  • Game-Specific SDK: A simplified, high-level SDK for common game tasks (e.g., in-game items as NFTs, leaderboards).

  • Full Demo Game: A complete, polished game showcasing the full potential of the SDK.

  • Developer Portal: A web-based portal to host documentation and tutorials.

  • Final Documentation & Public Release: Finalizing all documentation and releasing the SDK on GitHub and the Unity Asset Store.
