The DApp Store Kit, initially incubated by Polygon Labs, will integrate Ready Games' mobile game development kit to help developers launch Web3 games.
The DApp Store Kit, a toolkit for deploying Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible decentralized application (DApp) stores, will be integrated with Ready Games, allowing developers to integrate Web3 on-chain support. This will include the ability to integrate wallets and on-chain user profiles as well as a dApp Store front-end stack to enable Web3 gaming.
The announcement highlights the prevalence of a "clumsy user experience" in mobile Web3 games, which often require users to constantly enter and exit games to interact with external wallet applications. Ready Games, a studio that operates in the free-to-play space and represents over 2,500 games and 80 million monthly active users, will showcase their titles in the platform's upcoming dApp Store. Many of these publishers are expected to use Ready Games' development tools and dApp Store Kit to migrate existing games to Web3 and deploy on the decentralized ized Polygon scaling protocol.
Ravikant Agrawal, Director of Growth at Polygon Labs, said gaming remains a focal point of the Web3 ecosystem where DApp stores can drive improved user experience and engagement: "By leveraging a decentralized app store, gamers can enjoy a seamless and secure experience w hile also contributing to the growth of the Web3 community." David Bennahum, CEO of Ready Games, added that the integration of the platform's Web3 gaming technology and dApp Store Kit can innovate the mobile gaming space: "This integration paves the way for a new era of immersive and decentralized gaming experiences that will drive mass adoption of Web3 technologies." The DApp development platform dApp Store Kit integrates the leading Web3 game development technology stack to help Web2 game publishers migrate their works to Web3.
Casual gamers have been named by industry players as a potential driver of blockchain-powered gaming. At the same time, the Web3 gaming industry is still criticized by mainstream commentators for token economics issues and general user experience and playability issues.
