Bringing WAX to Mobile: New SDKs for React Native and Unity
The global gaming industry has undergone a massive transformation over the past decade, and mobile is now leading the charge. What once took a backseat to console and PC has surged to the forefront, with mobile games generating over **$90 billion in revenue in 2023** alone, accounting for nearly half of all global gaming revenue. Titles like Genshin Impact, Honor of Kings, and PUBG Mobile are dominating global charts and proving that mobile gaming isn’t casual anymore — it’s core.
The web3 space is catching up. On WAX, gaming has always been a pillar of the ecosystem, from early NFT integrations to complex strategy games and collectible-based experiences. Now, with the launch of WAX Cloud Wallet Mobile for Android and iOS, it’s time to level up. Developers can now build polished mobile dApps that leverage blockchain without forcing users to jump through hoops. And to make that transition even easier, we’re launching two powerful SDKs built specifically for mobile platforms: React Native SDK and Unity SDK.
### Why Mobile Matters for Web3
If web3 gaming is going to onboard the next 100 million users, it has to meet players where they are — on their phones. Mobile games are easier to distribute, cheaper to maintain, and more accessible across demographics and geographies. More importantly, mobile users expect smooth, native-feeling experiences, even when interacting with blockchain features like wallets, NFTs, and tokens.
The new WAX SDKs help solve exactly that problem — abstracting the complexity of blockchain integration so developers can focus on gameplay, design, and user experience.
### Introducing the WAX Cloud Wallet Mobile SDKs
### React Native SDK
Built for developers working with cross-platform React Native apps, this SDK allows full integration with the WAX Cloud Wallet mobile experience.
Unity powers countless mobile and console games — and now it can power web3 interactions on WAX too. The Unity SDK makes it easy to add wallet connectivity, transaction signing, and authentication to your Unity game or app.
Both SDKs support two distinct connection types, giving you the flexibility to choose the best integration for your use case:
**1. Direct Mode (react native SDK)
** Ideal when the dApp and the WAX Cloud Wallet app are on the same device. This creates a smooth, app-to-app experience via deep linking — perfect for mobile games and in-app integrations.
**2. WebSocket Mode (react native SDK & Unity SDK)
** Perfect for cross-device usage. This enables your dApp (running on desktop or another mobile device) to securely connect with a user’s WAX Cloud Wallet app on their phone, allowing them to sign transactions remotely.
Note that UnitySDK only supports Websocket Mode for now.
### Built for Developers, Trusted by WAX
These SDKs are built and maintained by the WAX team, ensuring compatibility, support, and future-proof updates as the Cloud Wallet ecosystem continues to grow. Whether you’re building a mobile game, NFT gallery, staking app, or something completely new, these tools help you ship faster and smarter.
The next wave of WAX games and dApps will live in your pocket. Let’s build it together.
