In a strategic collaboration, Zebedee (ZBD) and Beamable have introduced the ZBD Beamable starter kit, aiming to support small developers and hypercasual game creators in seamlessly integrating Bitcoin transactions into web3 gaming environments. The ZBD Beamable starter kit evolves from the ongoing partnership between Zebedee and Beamable, providing a plug-and-play API that allows players to earn small quantities of Bitcoin while playing games. Noteworthy is the kit's emphasis on heightened security, achieved by maintaining a clear separation of sensitive information from the client-side of the game.

Tailored to assist smaller developers looking to incorporate Bitcoin rewards, the ZBD Beamable starter kit eliminates the need for a dedicated server or systems operations team. This streamlines the integration of server-side features, making the development process more efficient. This announcement marks the next phase in the partnership, advancing the integration of Bitcoin rewards into mobile gaming. The first Bitcoin-integrated mobile game, developed with this starter kit, is scheduled for launch in November, promising a secure and immersive gaming experience for players.

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.

ZBD's cutting-edge technology, which facilitates Lightning Network transactions, has already demonstrated remarkable results. Web3 games like Ludo Zenith observed a remarkable 82% increase in ARPDAU, while Bitcoin Miner, a leading play-and-earn game, experienced a tenfold surge in its day 30 user retention rate. ZBD also recently announced a partnership with AdInMo to bring Bitcoin rewards to web3 games through InGamePlay ads, reshaping player engagement and revenue sharing.

As the gaming industry evolves, the collaboration between ZBD and Beamable represents a pragmatic approach, providing tools and resources specifically for the needs of small developers. The ZBD Beamable starter kit is poised to usher in a new era of gaming, seamlessly incorporating blockchain integration and secure Bitcoin transactions into web3 gaming experiences.

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.
