Evolution of L1 For Unity to the L1 Distribution SDK

Our original goal for the L1 For Unity toolset, developed during Testnet, was to provide a simple, easy to use interface for developers seeking to integrate LAMINA1 into their Unity projects

In July 2023, we released a first look into the toolset, showing how it would be used to integrate the L1 blockchain into a Unity demo experience. Our development team subsequently used parts of it to power one of our first metaverse Spaces, Space Lasers, released on the LAMINA1 Hub in October 2023.

With the recent launch of the Creator Studio and content publishing on LAMINA1, we now need a way to enable content to be distributed and engaged with across various applications/Spaces. This need goes beyond Unity, and will require us to extend support of the toolkit to the web and other platforms.

To reflect this broader objective to facilitate integrations across multiple platforms, we’ve officially renamed L1 for Unity to the LAMINA1 Distribution SDK. Its goal remains to enable the frictionless activation of content pipelines and unifying content experiences across apps powered by LAMINA1. We also plan to add support for other client runtimes such as Unreal, Javascript as well as having direct access to the APIs.

The key capabilities of this new, broader L1-developed SDK will be:

  • User Authentication: Securely verify users and session keys to access LAMINA1 profiles and items
  • Item and Profile Data: Allow apps to import user profiles, items, collections while retaining key metadata and rights restrictions
  • Distribution: Register and distribute (push or pull) items into apps and metaverse Spaces
  • Analytics: Capture usage telemetry within apps to provide back to creators and feed personalized recommendations.

We are preparing to launch the L1 Distribution SDK alongside a full drop of the “Space Lasers” demo code when the ability to publish Spaces becomes available to all L1 creators via the Creator Studio in 2024. This will coincide with future updates to identity and authentication on the LAMINA1 Hub — which will further streamline how users login to upcoming Spaces and experiences on LAMINA1.

Beyond the L1 Distribution SDK, you can also expect SDKs from our ecosystem partners (like the Emergence SDK) to be updated to support our new capabilities in content distribution and user authentication.
