‍How Arcana and Showdown will collaborate?‍

To enhance user accessibility and simplify onboarding, Showdown has integrated Arcana Auth SDK into its app. Despite Steam's lack of oAuth2 support, Arcana has bridged the gap by enabling Showdown users to effortlessly link their Steam profiles for login purposes, instantly generating their own web3, non-custodial wallets. This integration eliminates the complexities of managing multiple wallets and passwords, providing gamers with a seamless experience from the moment they log in.We are also working on offering Showdown’s players a plethora of login options, including email, social logins, Epic Games logins, and even custom logins, all thanks to Arcana Auth Custom Verifier. This new feature will allow dApp users to link multiple social and gaming accounts to one wallet. So, whether they're using Steam, email, Twitter, or other accounts, they will all be linked to a single secure, non-custodial wallet within the Showdown app. By consolidating their various social and gaming profiles, players enjoy unparalleled convenience and flexibility, while dApps can effectively reward their users for their engagement.

Arcana Auth is ushering in a new era where users can effortlessly log in using a variety of credentials, whether it's social, gaming, or fully custom logins, all seamlessly linked to a single wallet. Arcana Auth's Custom Verifier is set to become the go-to solution for games and dApps seeking to streamline user experience and drive higher conversion rates.

‍Quote from Showdown

"Showdown aims to revolutionize gaming by integrating automated tournaments and skill-based wagers for web2 and web3 titles, starting with Counter-Strike 2 and followed by Dota 2. This will significantly enhance competitiveness and monetization for gamers. Additionally, Web3 games will soon be able to easily integrate our modules through the Showdown SDK.

The support from Arcana is crucial for a simplified user experience. With Arcana's Account Abstraction (AA) module and browser-based wallet, Web2 gamers can seamlessly participate without the hassle of dealing with extensions or private keys. Gamers can log in with their existing profiles from Steam, Riot, or Epic, and within seconds, Arcana generates an AA wallet for them. We're excited to embark on this journey with the Arcana team" says Kunal, Founder and CEO of Showdown.
