- Ready Games, native token — AURA, secured $3 million in funding.
Decentralized network Ready Games is proud to announce the launching of its new ecosystem. It is a new system that will provide democratization access to web3 games with the help of its native token — $AURA.
David Bennahum, CEO of Ready, explained:
As a lifelong gamer, I’m thrilled to offer game devs the tools and tokenomics to make it possible to quickly integrate on-chain. It’s incredibly challenging to take the complexities of web3 and make them easily accessible for game publishers: from live operations to loyalty programs and new economic models. We’re excited to see what comes next as we build this collective ecosystem together!
The combination of AURA and the new developer tools that the network released will enable a smooth transition of web2 games to web3. Interestingly, these games that would be transferred to web3 would all be compatible with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) app store rules.
There are over 3+Billion mobile players worldwide, currently a huge untapped market in Web3, Ready is tapping this market” Christina Macedo, COO of Ready says “ by allowing mobile gaming to enter and have a place in Web3 gamefi this finally allows a very diverse global demographic of developers, players and creators to finally enter Web3 and collaborate as a united community of game lovers.
In terms of market funding, the innovative token of the network has successfully raised $3 million from prominent investors led by BITKRAFT and Hashed. The other top-tier investors include Tribe, IOSG, Spartan, Mapleblock Capital, Mulana Capital, Dweb3, Fundamental Labs, IBA, GSR, Polygon, SnackClub, and Warburg Serres, to name a few.
Scott Rupp, managing founding partner at BITKRAFT Ventures stated:
Web3 presents a new paradigm for how games and their communities are built, distributed, and grown. It’s an exciting tech shift for all stakeholders involved, but it’s also new, daunting and still carries significant friction for those looking to make the leap. Ready’s tools and token will make it a lot easier for mainstream devs to enter web3 gaming.
The funding will be used to expand the network market reach. Furthermore, the company will also focus on bringing the world of GameFi and “Play-to-Earn” closer to its community. It also created a hub that facilitates mobile game developers to enter web3. In Ready’s Alpha version, mobile game developers enjoyed integration time frames of only 5 days, from Web2 to Web3.
We are excited to partner with Ready in building the leading web3 mobile gaming and user-generated content ecosystem,” said Ethan Kim, Co-founder & Partner, Hashed. “Along with Ready’s ability to seamlessly onboard a wide spectrum of games and content, their in-depth understanding of developers, creator communities and players will accelerate mass adoption of blockchain-based gaming.
On the other hand, Ready opens its doors to all interested artists who want to create and upload styles on the platform. These things that the artist built can be traded and purchased on the game. Moreso, Ready keeps its arms open to all future partnerships. The SnackClub is one of the partnerships that the network is looking forward to. It is a major game guild with 5 million members and eager to play the Web3 games as they go live.
We are always happy to back serial entrepreneurs who stick with a specific vision over the course of one’s journey,” said Ray Xiao, Principal at IOSG Ventures. “In the case of Ready Games, we are genuinely impressed by David’s and Christina’s commitment to democratize access to game creation over the past few years. In a way, this vision of web3 games was ahead of its time when Ready was founded 6 years ago. Now web3 is READY.
