The blockchain infrastructure company owned by Ivan Liljeqvist, better known as the YouTuber Ivan on Tech, is rolling out a software toolkit for crypto game developers looking to jump into the metaverse.
Called “Metaverse SDK,” the product from Moralis aims to help devs build crypto applications for gaming consoles, desktops and smartphones. It integrates with the popular game engine Unity to support cross-platform gameplay. The software development kit (SDK) covers multiple chains, too.

“This is taking Web 3 to whole new platforms and will allow developers to bring metaverse to the masses,” Liljeqvist told CoinDesk through a spokesman.
It’s a notable picks-and-shovels play as investors and developers pile into digital worlds. The immersive “metaverse” is 10 years out by Facebook’s estimation, but in crypto, a space rife with user-owned gaming gambits and virtual fashion, it has already arrived.
Competing crypto infrastructure companies from Alchemy to Infura haven’t yet branched into gaming SDKs.
Moralis claimed its other SDK products have helped Web 3 developer teams move 10 times faster. A handful of crypto projects including NFT-focused SuperFarm have tried it, according to a press release.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
