Solana (Sol) Pumps 22% As Solana Labs Unveils “GameShift”

On Nov 2, 2023

Solana Labs successfully launched GameShift to allow game developers to easily integrate crypto tokens in game projects.

Solana Labs is the developer team behind the popular Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus-based Solana crypto network. Sol is the native coin of the Solana network. In the last 24 hours, the trade price of Sol coin surged 22% following the beta launch of the GameShift project.

On the evening of 31 Oct 2023, Solana Labs announced the successful launch of GameShift but in the beta phase. That means GameShift is available to use but it may have some glitches that will be fixed after use & reviews by the game developers.

GameShift allows game developers to mint in-game tokens without crypto or Blockchain coding efforts. In short, game developers will be able to integrate the Crypto or non-crypto tokens with their game projects directly without any additional coding efforts.

In the middle of 2022, Vibhu Norby founded Solana Spaces and also established offline Solana stores in New York & Miami.
