# GameShift

> Onchain games fun for everyone.

GameShift helps game developers integrate blockchain features through a single API that handles wallets, NFTs, marketplaces, and fiat payments on Solana.

GameShift provides blockchain gaming infrastructure through a REST API that enables game developers to add Web3 functionality without blockchain expertise. The platform handles wallet creation, NFT minting and management, marketplace integration, fiat payment processing, and transaction fees while built on Solana for high-speed, low-cost operations. Developers can implement features like asset ownership, user-generated content, and tokenized economies through simple API calls. Originally developed by Solana Labs and launched in November 2023, GameShift was acquired by Honeycomb Protocol in September 2025.
