Phase two of the partnership integrates API and microservices to provide developers with server-like capabilities for building Bitcoin reward games in a more secure way –
HOBOKEN, NJ – November 14, 2023 – ZBD, a prominent fintech company specializing in providing immediate Bitcoin rewards for gamers and developers, has revealed the introduction of the ZBD Beamable starter kit tailored for small development teams and hypercasual developers. This announcement marks the newest stage in its collaboration with Beamable, an online game development platform, aimed at streamlining the secure integration of Bitcoin transactions into the gaming experience.
ZBD’s plug-and-play API is a cost-effective, global payment solution built on the Bitcoin Lightning Network that makes it easy for developers to incorporate real-time microtransactions, rewards, and payments into their games. With the ZBD Beamable starter kit, the integration of Beamable with ZBD’s API adds an additional layer of security by keeping sensitive information separate from the client-side of the game.
Christian Moss, ZBD Co-founder and Head of Gaming R&D, comments:
“Developing a secure game requires removing some of the logic from the game to the game server. Many developers, however, such as hypercasual mobile game developers, may not have the resources to develop and maintain a game server. Beamable provides these developers with server-like capabilities without the need for a server or any extra skills in addition to their existing game development skills. By integrating the ZBD API into a Beamable microservice, we’ve enabled developers to start building Bitcoin reward games in a secure way.”
Jon Radoff, CEO of Beamable, comments:
“Our aim has always been to lower the barrier to entry for developers and make it more cost-effective for them to add complex and secure server-side Bitcoin features. Working with ZBD not only makes the implementation of in-game transactions easier than ever, but also adds an all-important extra layer of security.”
Unveiled in July 2023, the partnership between the two companies marked a noteworthy advancement in the evolution of the next generation of Bitcoin-integrated gaming. This collaboration eliminates the necessity for a server or systems operations team, empowering developers to seamlessly integrate server-side features into games while ensuring enhanced security.
The first Bitcoin-integrated mobile game to be built with the ZBD Beamable starter kit is due to be published in late November.
