Web3 PvP tournament and matchmaking platform for mobile and casual games. Arenum (Arena Games) ships a multiplayer PvP SDK that adds tournament entry, leaderboards, leagues, referral and reward systems, and an NFT metagame to existing titles. The platform stakes ARNM to gate tier access and runs an esports tournament engine on top of EVM + Solana for prize settlement.

Integrate the Arenum Multiplayer PvP SDK in your Unity / native mobile build to gain access to the tournament engine: register the game with an `ARENUM_GAME_ID`, call the SDK's `joinTournament(tournamentId)` / `submitMatchResult(score, replay)` methods, and let Arenum settle prize pools in ARNM (Solana) or wrapped equivalents on BNB/Polygon. Tournament configuration, sponsor onboarding, and entry-fee handling live on Arenum's backend — your game only signs match results. For web, use the Arenum REST/GraphQL endpoints to read tournament state and player rankings. Wallet support is custodial-by-default (Arenum-managed) with optional Phantom / WalletConnect linking for players who self-custody.
- ⚑Arenum is partnership-gated: studios must onboard with the Arenum team to get a working `ARENUM_GAME_ID` and SDK access — there is no fully self-serve developer portal as of 2026.
- ⚑The PvP SDK is mobile-first (Unity / native iOS+Android) — no Unreal plugin and only limited web support; PC/console games need to wrap the REST API themselves.
- ⚑Match-result submission is trust-based at the SDK layer: Arenum runs server-side anti-cheat and replay verification before paying out prizes, which can delay payouts by minutes to hours and may reject results without a clear error code.
- ⚑ARNM prize settlement is Solana-native; cross-chain payouts to BNB/Polygon use Arenum's custodial bridge with windowed withdrawals — players cannot instantly move winnings to MetaMask.
- ⚑Custodial wallets are the default for casual players, so 'asset withdrawal' (cashing out NFTs/ARNM to a self-custody wallet) is an explicit flow that may be KYC-gated above thresholds.
- ⚑Peer-to-peer tournament settlement (1v1 wagered matches) is throttled in some regions for compliance — design entry/prize copy to avoid 'gambling' framing where regulation prohibits it.
