A New Era for Thirdweb's Unity SDK

Building on our .NET SDK, we've minimized dependencies and reduced the package size by 90%. This beta is the first step toward truly unleashing the potential of blockchain technology in games, offering composable, simple, and clean APIs that can be utilized from anywhere.

Key Improvements

Unified API

  • Seamless Integration Across Platforms: Enjoy a consistent experience across WebGL, Desktop, and Mobile without the need for the WebGL Bridge. Develop once, deploy everywhere.

Enhanced Composability

  • Chain-Agnostic Interaction: Our APIs are designed to work seamlessly with multiple chains, removing the complexities of state management.

Native Experience

  • Stable and Predictable Upgrades: Utilizing our .NET core, the SDK offers a native experience, ensuring stability and predictability with each upgrade.

Simplified ThirdwebManager

  • Intuitive API Changes:
    • ThirdwebManager.Instance.SDK.GetContract is now ThirdwebManager.Instance.GetContract, returning ThirdwebContract.
    • ThirdwebManager.Instance.SDK.Wallet.Connect is now ThirdwebManager.Instance.ConnectWallet, returning IThirdwebWallet.
  • Enhanced Wallet Management: Effortlessly manage multiple wallet connections and track the active wallet.
  • Streamlined Setup: The prefab setup is now more intuitive, making it easier for developers to integrate and get started.

Optimized Package

  • Lighter and Faster: A cleaner, lighter Unity package with minimal dependencies, significantly enhancing performance.
  • Refined Architecture: We've taken control of all layers, excluding the AWS SDK and using Nethereum only for types/encoding. Libraries like Newtonsoft.Json and EDM4U are included to ensure efficiency.

Cross-Platform Consistency

  • Uniform Behavior Across Platforms: Enjoy consistent behavior across all platforms—what you see in the editor is what you get in WebGL, Standalone, and Mobile runtime environments.
  • Fully Customizable: The SDK can be white-labeled to match your branding needs.

Comprehensive Chain Support

  • Universal Compatibility: All chains are supported, and no patches are needed to support newly deployed chains.
