<p>The state of Web3 gaming on the Ronin blockchain is set to shoot up into the stratosphere. Ronin is already the largest and fastest-growing blockchain for gaming, but now such dominance in the gaming sphere is set to expand with Sky Mavis introducing Ronin Forge. This new initiative is set to impact blockchain gaming in significant ways.</p><h2><strong>Ronin Forge Features</strong></h2><p>So what is Ronin Forge? Put simply, it is an early access program for Web3 games seeking to build on the Ronin blockchain. The initiative is currently accepting applications, and it should be noted that Ronin Forge is looking for games that are in late alpha or early beta. Furthermore, the projects should have a strong conviction in what Web3 gaming has to offer and feature a timeline of three to six months before their global launch. The initiative will select up to six teams on a rolling basis.</p><p>Games that are accepted by Ronin Forge gain a slew of benefits. The first is that the game earns a $50,000 grant, alongside access to build on Ronin as well as being provided strong technology infrastructure. However, the early access program can offer far more. Development teams that are hungry to experiment with Web3 gaming (such as tokens, NFTs, and go-to-market strategies) that showcase a high level of performance can gain coveted Studio Partner status (a status enjoyed by games like <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Pixels">Pixels</a> – the top Web3 game on the market – and Ragnarok: Monster World). Games that gain Studio Partner status enjoy white-glove advisory support from Sky Mavis as well as up to another $500,000 in additional funding.</p><blockquote><p>Aleksander Leonard Larsen, the Sky Mavis co-founder, COO, and Chairman, notes, “Ronin Forge is the next step in further opening up Ronin for builders. By offering grants and access to the Sky Mavis ecosystem, this will serve as an experimental ground for developing the next generation of Web3 games. We aim to encourage innovation and build network effects, inviting like-minded studios to join on our path towards scaling the Ronin Network.”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>He added, “Ronin Network has become the most attractive network to launch a blockchain game, and we are excited to expand the network to more experimental games over the coming months. We expect Ronin Forge games to attract new audiences to Ronin. Applying studios have a higher chance of succeeding if they are building new experiences than what exists on Ronin Network today.<strong> I'm particularly excited about social and hyper casual games which can become strong IPs in time.</strong>”</p></blockquote><p><br>Interested game studios can apply to this early access program by filling in this Ronin Forge <a href="https://skymavis.typeform.com/to/eXDFE3r7">Application form</a>.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><a href=""><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Screenshot_2024_06_07_at_12_15_06_AM_50b8ad10f9.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-06-07 at 12.15.06 AM.png" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Screenshot_2024_06_07_at_12_15_06_AM_50b8ad10f9.png 221w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Screenshot_2024_06_07_at_12_15_06_AM_50b8ad10f9.png 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Screenshot_2024_06_07_at_12_15_06_AM_50b8ad10f9.png 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_Screenshot_2024_06_07_at_12_15_06_AM_50b8ad10f9.png 1000w," sizes="100vw"></a></figure><h2><strong>Ronin On a Roll</strong></h2><p>The Ronin blockchain is enjoying tremendous success. Created by Sky Mavis for gaming purposes, the blockchain boasts a 29.53% DAA (daily active addresses) market share – which is greater than the following two blockchains combined. Currently, Ronin serves 1.39 million daily active addresses. Many of the most popular Web3 games <a href="https://funjible.games/games?blockchain=Ronin&amp;sortBy=4">can be found on the Ronin blockchain</a> – such as Pixels, the Axie Infinity ecosystem of games, <a href="https://funjible.games/games/The-Machines-Arena">The Machines Arena</a>, <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Apeiron">Apeiron</a>, PuffGo, and more.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Another big week for Ronin and Axie!<br><br>• <a href="https://twitter.com/RagmonNFT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RagmonNFT</a> minted out their Nyang Kit NFT collection<br>• Launched the <a href="https://twitter.com/AxieInfinity?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@axieinfinity</a> Origins S9 Preseason<br>• Kicked off a <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayFightLeague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@playfightleague</a> content challenge<br>• Shared details around Homeland’s new Moonfall mechanic<br><br>Let’s jump in 🧵👇 <a href="https://t.co/TunJPKzFJR">pic.twitter.com/TunJPKzFJR</a></p>— Sky Mavis (@SkyMavisHQ) <a href="https://twitter.com/SkyMavisHQ/status/1797489165187293648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><p>Over the last week, a number of Web3 gaming events occurred on Ronin. One such event was the Nyang Kit NFT mint by Ragnarok: Monster World on the Mavis Market, with the public stage being minted out in mere seconds. <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-Infinity-Origins">Axie Infinity: Origins</a> launched its S9 Preseason, featuring new starter axies, balancing updates, Rune and Charm testing kits, and more. <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-Infinity-Homeland">Axie Infinity: Homeland</a> revealed details of changes being made to its Moonfall system. The new system goes live on June 12 and features a more dynamic experience as rewards will be based on in-game events and choices made by the player. In addition, Sky Mavis kicked off a content challenge for Fight League.</p><p>However, there's still more activity being promoted by Ronin for the various games and projects built upon the blockchain. The <a href="https://roninchain.com/blog/posts/ronincarnival">Ronin Carnival</a> runs through the month of June, offering players some nifty rewards. For example, players purchasing axies in the various Axie Infinity games can receive free axies, players of the Kaidro: Archives of Source Journal event can score a Spirit Guardian NFT, and <a href="https://funjible.games/games/PuffGo">PuffGo</a> and PuffTown players can win a Ronin-exclusive avatar, frame, and IGO Points.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/puffgo_ronin_carnival_ceb49a0b06.jpg" alt="puffgo-ronin-carnival.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_puffgo_ronin_carnival_ceb49a0b06.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_puffgo_ronin_carnival_ceb49a0b06.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_puffgo_ronin_carnival_ceb49a0b06.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>
