Mirror World CEO shares insights on building a Solana game engine after securing $12M raise
The firm currently develops Solana’s only SDK designed to onboard GameFi developers to the blockchain.
Despite the blockchain’s soaring popularity, there is a chronic “lack of infrastructure” for developers to build games on Solana, at least according to Mirror World CEO Chris Zhu.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Zhu stated that certain DeFi features taken for granted on other blockchains, such as cross-chain swaps and on/off crypto ramps, are simply out of reach for Solana gaming developers. “For example, applications like games find it challenging to internalize value on a shared Solana layer not designed with just one application in mind,” said Zhu, continuing: “Specific applications may require custom features such as Privacy, Instant settlements, Asset transfer rules and compliance which were not supported.”
To combat this problem, a few days prior, Solana gaming studio Mirror World Labs raised $12 million in its inaugural Series A funding led by Bitkraft, Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings, and others to further the development of its gaming rollup, Sonic, which launched back in March.
