Implementing Beam

The implementation of our new self-custodial service consists of two components

The Beam platform client. We currently solely provide a C# sdk meant to be implemented in the Unity. In the future, we will be releasing more implementations for various platforms.
The self-custody client. We currently provide a C# and Typescript client.

In the near future, we expect to expand the platfom clients with all the self-custody client methods, giving you more flexibility on how you want to implement Beam in your game.

The platform client (Unity)

The platform client contains helpers to get users started with Beam within your game.

✅ Unity

Initialize the platform client

In order to interact with these clients, you will need a new type of API key - the Publishable API key. You will be able to find this API key by regenerating your API keys through the existing API. You can do so programmatically, or by interacting with the method in the OpenAPI / Swagger UI (opens in a new tab) interface.

 
var beamClient = gameObject.AddComponent<BeamClient>()
  .SetBeamApiGame("your-game-id", "your-publishable-api-key")
  .SetEnvironment(BeamEnvironment.Testnet);

The self-custody client

The self-custody client is a new client which can be used to generate Operations. Both the self-custody clients we offer for the new self-custodial services, are structured in similar fashion to the existing SDKs that offer custodial Profiles.

Keep in mind that we expect you to also use the Publishable API key in these clients.

✅ Typescript ✅ C# (RestSharp)
