Crypto Currency

Hello,
I need to add crypto currency to a project I am working on, I would like to be able to make purchases using items in game.
So far I have tried couple of crypto related assets on Unity store but they are all outdated, if anyone can direct me to the right path I will really appreciate it. thanks!!!

I guess it would depend on which currencies you are hoping to allow users to pay with. I’d also guess there are probably some really big hurdles to getting something like this released:

  • Do the various app markets allow this?
  • Security concerns would be great.

Hi PraetorBlue, I decided to not pursue that route, seems like a complex and unsafe implementation. Thanks for the suggestion!

What you’re looking at is very complicated even by most the standards of I suspect a lot of veteran programmers who have been doing it for decades. It’s good if you recognise that the project is too big and complicated because it means you’re serious about learning. I’m personally not going to touch that stuff with a ten foot pole not just because of the coding concerns but the legal and financial concerns as well.

it’s fine if you’re experimenting on your own but if you actually plan no releasing it to the world you’d definitely have to talk to a lawyer that specialises in financial law as you’ll be stepping into all kinds of money transmission jurisdictions and so on and that’s basically playing with fire. If you just want a project to mess around with though your best bet is to look at games that have been made with support for Ethereum transactions. There are two big games that have come about I’ve seen a lot of people playing. Axie Infinity which is basically a pokemon game where you can breed and train Axie’s for Ethereum Cryptocurrency and then Crypto Space Commander.

By all means, you might have fun messing around and learning but it is something of a legal minefield when you start blending in virtual items with real money so I think you’re completely right to be cautious.
