The partnerships also entail working together to highlight promising blockchain titles across the protocols’ ecosystems. Forge brings a pool of over 300,000 registered users to help drive organic interest in new games building on these networks.

Forge co-founder and CEO Kun Gao said they were thrilled to have ecosystem partners supporting their platform. He said the protocols have been instrumental in aiding the next generation of game developers, while Forge focuses on linking gamers themselves to emerging games.

Its partnerships with leading gaming protocols also signal meaningful momentum.
Ultimately, Forge aspires to shift gaming culture so players reap benefits from the communities and titles they pour passion into. If these partnerships are any indication, that vision is fast becoming a reality.
