🛠️ Enjin Tooling

This section is broken down into 2 categories:

• The Enjin Platform (AKA the Open Platform API)
• Enjin Beam

📖 The Enjin Platform

What is the Open Platform?

Open Platform is a package that enables developers to implement blockchain integration more quickly. With it, game developers can perform blockchain actions without having to worry about encoding or signing transactions, or understanding specific blockchain technical details.

As part of our commitment to making the Open Platform the go-to solution for blockchain game developers, we have prepared features that will make adopters' lives easier, with changes pertaining to how the Open Platform handles collections, tokens, and data processing:

• Transaction Events support. Open Platform can now fetch the events resulting from a transaction that happens on-chain; this is a fantastic feature that allows game developers to register events from the blockchain on their own integration.
• GraphiQL Explorer is live! This new tool allows gamedevs to quickly build their own queries and mutations by clicking on a menu from the GraphiQL explorer interface.

Open Platform GraphiQL explorer, which allows you to build your queries and mutations with a few clicks!

• Mutate Token & Mutate Collection added. These mutations allow game developers to change royalty settings for their collections and tokens without needing to interact with the blockchain directly.
• A new data processor has been added which streamlines the fetching, processing, and saving of on-chain data. 
• Work has also begun on improving robustness within the API through improved input field validation, quality-of-live improvements, and tweaks.

💻 Beam

What is Enjin Beam?

Beam is a first-of-its-kind QR-powered blockchain asset distribution service.

With Beam, you can tailor the rewards you send to suit your target audience and marketing objectives, such as gaming assets, branded collectibles, gift cards, discount codes, early access, and more.

Beam QR codes can be published via any visually accessible medium—from social media networks, websites, ads, and videos to flyers and presentations, and within apps or games.

• The API work for creating and claiming beams is finished and being tested to ensure that we can open the floodgates for adopters interested in experiencing Beam in its best form!
• The web wallet update to support claiming Beams via the web wallet is now finished and being tested by our QA team.
