Stardust teams with Sui blockchain to simplify Web3 gaming onboarding

Stardust, a web3 gaming infrastructure and user acquisition service provider, has announced a seamless integration with Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract platform, through a collaboration with Mysten Labs.

This integration aims to enhance Sui’s Web3 gaming ecosystem by facilitating a straightforward onboarding process for game developers, thereby introducing new games and capabilities to the network. Sui bills itself as delivering the benefits of Web3 with the ease of Web2.

Stardust’s full integration with Sui is designed to streamline the onboarding process for game developers. By leveraging Stardust’s infrastructure tools, developers can seamlessly launch their projects directly on the Sui platform. This approach simplifies the technical aspects of deployment, enabling creators to focus on crafting engaging and enjoyable gaming experiences rather than grappling with intricate technical processes.

This collaboration marks a significant advancement for Sui’s gaming ecosystem, as it not only reduces barriers for developers but also enhances the overall user experience by introducing new games and capabilities to the network.

A boost for Sui’s gaming ecosystem

Stardust has been a partner for various top game developers, including Midnight Society and Habbo. As part of this collaboration, Stardust will embed Sui into their Wallets-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform and User Acquisition tools, offering enhanced user experiences.

The decision to integrate with the Sui blockchain was driven by Sui’s scalability and its ability to handle a large volume of transactions while maintaining minimal gas fees. With Sui recently surpassing the $500 million Total Value Locked (TVL) milestone, it continues to establish itself as a leading blockchain for game development, Mysten Labs said.

Canaan Linder, CEO at Stardust, said in a statement, “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.”

Evan Cheng, CEO of Mysten Labs, said in a statement, “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.”

Stardust wants to be a driving force in the metaverse, providing game developers with a simplified API to enable blockchain integration effortlessly. By offering an easy back-end custodial wallet solution, Stardust creates a seamless ecosystem for game publishers to build and scale metaverse-ready games. Additionally, Stardust’s user acquisition product leverages blockchain data for optimal return on ad spend.
