On this page, you will find a high-level step-by-step overview of the standard SDK integration process from initial preparation to final in-game implementation.

The publisher gets to control and decide how to use the SDK and Catheon will ensure that any on-chain activity required for the game development can be accessed through the SDK integration.</td></tr></tbody></table>
