Cloud computing services platform Google Cloud, announced a collaboration with Solana Labs aimed at advancing the future of gaming. Central to this collaboration is GameShift, which offers a comprehensive suite of Web3 tools and functionalities, including wallets, tokenized assets, and on-chain markets essential for games.

GameShift offers its Web3 gaming functionalities through a developer-friendly REST API. The Solana Labs team provides GameShift customers with strong connectivity to the Solana ecosystem, assistance in creating Web3 gaming strategies, and ongoing development support. This means studios can rely on GameShift as a singular solution, eliminating the need for multiple providers or specialized blockchain developers and ensuring scalability as they expand.

Key features include wallet integrations that simplify key storage and offer an intuitive transaction signing process, creating a seamless and secure experience for players directly within the game environment. GameShift also allows for easy creation and management of in-game assets on Solana, providing customizable attributes, rarity, as well as functionalities. Furthermore, its pay-in and pay-out systems enable secure, low-cost transactions for in-game purchases, subscriptions, or rewards, supporting fiat and cryptocurrency payments while managing currency conversion and transaction processing seamlessly in the background.

Furthermore, it enables users to make and operate in-game marketplaces where players have the option to buy, sell, or trade their assets. Additionally, it allows for the design and implementation of advanced reward systems utilizing blockchain technology.

GameShift is available on the Google Cloud Marketplace. Builders can integrate Web3 capabilities into the existing cloud-based game backend services, streamlining the process of enhancing games with blockchain features.
