Marketplace APIs for custom marketplaces and in-game transactions
Impacted Users: Product ManagersDevelopersYou asked, we listened. The new Marketplace APIs have all the endpoints required to easily build your own custom marketplace!
These new APIs will allow players to search assets by metadata and see the indicative price of any asset without needing to study the orderbook. With in-game transactions compatibility, players can also seamlessly search for desired assets, see the value of their inventory, submit orders and executes trades, all whilst remaining fully immersed in-game.
And, the best part is, it's easier than ever for developers to implement!
Passport L1 Fund Ejection Support
Impacted Users: Product ManagersPlayersWe're excited to announce a new update that enhances asset accessibility for your players on Ethereum!
If any players have accidentally sent funds to their Passport address on Ethereum Layer 1, they can now easily withdraw those assets, including ETH and popular tokens like IMX and GOG. This improvement ensures a smoother experience for your community, helping them recover assets effortlessly while you focus on delivering great gameplay.
Players can eject the funds by viewing their balances in the Play Dashboard, selecting Ethereum as the network and transferring the funds to their desired address.
Upcoming Features
We're continually cooking up new features to make the platform even better for our partners and players. Here's a sneak peak of what's coming down the pipeline:
- Updating our Unreal and Unity demo games to show game developers how to use the new in-game marketplace features.
- Enhancing the in-game marketplace functionality to support multi-currency transactions.
- Streamlining the process of bridging, swapping and on-ramping into one widget that helps players easily be purchase‑ready.
