Blockchain
A blockchain is a growing list of records, known as blocks, that are cryptographically linked together. A cryptographic hash of the preceding block, a timestamp, and transaction data are all included in each block (generally represented as a Merkle tree). To get into the hash, the timestamp validates that the transaction data existed when the block was published. Each additional brick reinforces the ones before it, forming a chain.

Stratis Unity 3D SDK
Developed by Unity Technologies, Unity is a cross-platform game engine with a built-in IDE and is used to create video games for web plugins, consoles, desktop platforms, and mobile devices.
Stratis Unity SDK allows the STRAX Token to be used in game creation as well as the InterFlux Hub, opening up a world of possibilities through Stratis’ Smart Contracts written in C#.
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are of special relevance to game developers that want to include in-game currency. By implementing an NFT, in-game things can be truly held by the player, eliminating the possibility of losing acquired things due to lost login credentials or account termination.
Blockchain is a perfect fit for gaming, and now that blockchain and cryptos have hit the mainstream, platforms like the one Stratis just introduced are likely to attract a substantial number of developers. In addition, some of the earliest opposition that cryptos found was due to the fact that they are a form of digital money that competes with fiat currency.
Stratis Blockchain Technologies’ expanded Unity 3D support to include a light wallet and SDK for Stratis Blockchain Technologies. This achievement enables both the STRAX Token to be supported within game development and the InterFlux Hub, enabling endless use-cases through the utilization of Stratis Smart Contracts in C#.
Pre-Requisites
Cloning the Stratis Full Node source.
First, you must obtain a local copy of the Stratis Full Node; this can be achieved by using the git clone command.
For the purpose of this document, we will be using the desktop as the root directory.
Execute the below command: git clone visit here
The above command will clone the source code to the below directory,
C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\StratisFullNode
.NET Downloads (Linux, macOS, and Windows) visit here
Git - Downloads: visit here
Download the Stratis Unity Package from here Then the next page will open, then click go-to site, then the unity package will be downloaded.
So the first thing that you're gonna do is to set up a Stratis node on a server with a static IP address. For that, we need to clone the repository.
You can clone using the following command,
git clone https://github.com/stratisproject/StratisFullNode.git
It's cloned now so let's go to the source and let's build it. In order to build it, you need to install the .Net SDK and 3.1.net core SDK and build it for the release using the command
dotnet build
When we've built it we can start it. I'm gonna start it on Stratis mainnet. Basically, I'm running Stratis daemon DLL and we need to supply the following line arguments, copy the below command and run in Powershell.
dotnet exec .\Stratis.StraxD.dll -txindex=1 -addressindex=1 -unityapi_enable=true -unityapi_apiuri=http://0.0.0.0
We need to enable transaction index and address indexing, and then enable unity API also, you need to run it on this IP address or IP of your choice.
Once we execute the command, a local version of Stratis FullNode will start running and syncing with the mainnet.
While it's syncing we can open the port in the firewall, as we want to allow inbound and outbound ports.
So basically you need to create Inbound and Outbound rules for a port on which you want to run Unity 3D API. The default port for unity API is 44336, but you can specify what you want.
Given below are some of the arguments which can be provided to modify the Unity 3D API feature.
Now let's check if it works, so first let's go to swagger on localhost:44336.
Note: The node can take some time depending on the internet speed, to get fully synced.
