Qilin is an open source tool facilitating creation, distribution and activation of licenses for game content.
The mission of Qilin n is to enable developers, publishers, platforms and stores to distribute games, reducing their efforts on concluding and drafting contracts and exchanging documentation to a minimum, and providing them with comprehensive statistics in real time.
Our solution is a part of Protocol One IAAS, it is actively used in Storefront constructor. Qilin can be installed as a component on an existing P1-independent system, employing its own hardware or cloud platform.

- Sales Growth. Individual pricing, cross-platform and cross-shop data create an individual feature list and price offers for each user, increasing sales conversions and their quantity.
- New Games. Using e-sign in the Qilin agreement is all you have to do to access the listing of games within the Protocol One ecosystem.
- All-platform release. Games and developers using Qilin can have a release on all platforms and stores within the ecosystem stores with a single click.
- Quick withdrawal of funds. Qilin can credit the end stores — now you can withdraw funds whenever you wish, ignoring payment conditions of the end stores (minimum amount threshold, monthly or quarterly payments).
- Settings. Real time regional price changes and planning the discounts on all platforms and stores without restrictions.
- Statistics. Timely information on the amount of keys sold, the geography of sales, final prices and VAT updated in real time.
- Key Streaming. Create keys in Qinin without restrictions, in real time, for every purchase. For the distribution of 3rd party keys, a single set of keys is used to distribute to any number of end platforms. 2
- Advanced regional restrictions system. A key coming from a “cheaper” region can either be prevented from activation, or the user can be offered to pay the difference.
- Royalty reports. Embedded legally verifiable royalty reports for an arbitrary period of time, including cumulative figures across all platforms and stores.
- Unified SDK. Qilin SDK used in the game can achieve unified integration with Steam, Gog, Kartridge and other platforms to manage authorization, achievements, payments and cloud saves. A single build can be used across all platforms
