Integration Timeline

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.

Step	Workstream	Description
1	NFT Mint on Testnet	Once the sample collection of graphics and metadata have been produced, a sample collection of NFTs are minted on target chain's testnet. Please note that these are just mock assets for the purpose of testing integration with the game.
2	Token Mint on Testnet	Once details about the in-game currency and on-chain token have been produced, a small population of tokens are minted on the target chain's net. Please note that these are just mock assets for the purpose of testing integration with the game.
3	Token Exchange Dashboard Deployment	To facilitate in-game/on-chain token exchanges, a generic token exchange dashboard web app is created on the game's subdomain. The token exchange dashboard allows the users to make a deposit (convert on-chain tokens into in-app tokens) and make a withdrawal (convert in-app tokens into on-chain tokens).
4	NFT Link Dashboard Deployment	To facilitate linking the NFT to the game, a generic NFT link dashboard web app is created on the game's subdomain.
5	Game Simulator Testing	Once step 3 and 4 have been successfully deployed, publishers are given access to a game simulator which they can use to test the Token Exchange and NFT Link dashboard prior to integrating the SDK with the game. At this stage, any issues noted with the token and NFT integration can be raised to Catheon Gaming.
6	SDK Integration	The Game Simulator Testing in step 5 serves as the starting block for in-game integration. Publishers are provided full access to the SDK and a dedicated Catheon Gaming developer to assist them with the integration. 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.
