[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Plugin

We will create a Unity plugin that can be downloaded from the Unity Asset Store.

This Plugin will allow for multiple functionalities such as

• NFT-Minting

• Wallet Connection

• Querying the metadata of all NFTs from a wallet into the game

• Querying information about NFTs based on their policy ID into the game

• and more

  [IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This plugin is an effort to make Cardano more accessible to outside developers and since there are only 2 other NFT plugins (on Ethereum and Solana) currently on the Unity Asset Store, it will be a good tool to bring Game Developers into the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

The main risk lies in the way we connect wallets to the Unity Game Engine. It is not fully decided if we choose to build a native wallet inside of Unity that can be used by the games easily or if we go for an external connector through a website, which might be more easily usable.
