READYgg Teams Up with Aptos Labs to Bridge Web2 to Web3 for 15M Players

In a groundbreaking move that is set to reshape the gaming landscape, READYgg, a pioneer in blockchain-based game development technology, has partnered with Aptos Labs to usher in up to 15 million Web2 gamers into the realm of Web3 gaming. The collaboration leverages READYgg’s expansive network and the cutting-edge Aptos blockchain, known for its unparalleled speed in achieving finality, ensuring a seamless gaming experience for users.

The partnership announcement comes as a significant stride towards bridging the gap between traditional gaming and the emerging Web3 ecosystem. Commencing on November 20, players can secure early access to the new releases scheduled to launch on December 6 by registering for whitelisting.

David S. Bennahum, CEO and Co-Founder of READYgg, expressed the company’s enthusiasm, stating, “It is difficult to overstate just how overjoyed we are about this commitment from Aptos Labs. Bridging Web2 games to Web3 has always been our goal, which is why we’ve built a range of tools traditional publishers can use to seamlessly reach a Web3 audience and bring their typical users into the world of on-chain gaming.”

Unleashing Web3 Gaming for Players Worldwide

READYgg has already secured partnerships with over 20 major Web2 publishers, boasting a game library of 2,000 titles played by a staggering 200 million monthly active users. By the end of 2023, four of these Web2 publishers are set to transition their operations to the Aptos blockchain, with a commitment from at least a dozen more to follow suit in the coming year.

Among the titles making the leap to Web3 gaming are Runestone Keeper, a roguelike dungeon crawler available on PC, Android, and iOS, Rescue Robots Sniper Survival for Android, a first-person action game, Minijuegos, a hypercasual platform, and ToroFun, a browser-based social gaming portal. Each of these games will integrate Web3 elements, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with Minijuegos and ToroFun introducing an innovative NFT-based loyalty system.

Publishers adopting the READYgg / Aptos ecosystem will not only benefit from a performant blockchain with inherent speed and asset portability but will also have access to potential funding or grants through the READYgg $RDYX token, referred to as “The Gamer’s Token.” Furthermore, the partnership offers a solution to the exposure to price volatility through predictable Aptos usage fees, empowering publishers to seamlessly run Web3 components.

Christina Macedo, COO and Co-Founder of READYgg, added, “Aptos Lab’s expertise will ensure that millions of Web2 gamers can get to grips with web3 very quickly, without having to contend with any kind of imposing learning curve. They can just have fun, and that’s all that matters.” Mo Shaikh, co-founder & CEO of Aptos Labs, highlighted the significance of the partnership in accelerating the delivery of studio-quality Web3 games, user experiences, and compelling assets.

Aptos Labs, having raised over $400 million, boasts backing from top-flight investors, including a16z, Jump Crypto, Binance Labs, Dragonfly, PayPal Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Franklin Templeton Investments. In addition, Aptos Labs is committed to developing improved network tooling and ensuring seamless usability. Their mission is to make the advantages of decentralization accessible to a wide audience.

Aptos, as a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain, employs breakthrough technology and the Move programming language to evolve, enhance performance, and strengthen user safeguards. READYgg’s vision from the outset has been to democratize access to Web3 gaming, enabling billions of people, including developers, players, and content creators, to appreciate the benefits of decentralized gaming.

Overall, the partnership with Aptos Labs is expected to expand the possibilities in Web3 gaming, delivering a user experience comparable to or surpassing that of Web2. It also marks a pivotal moment in the gaming industry, promising to bring about a massive migration from Web2 to Web3, ultimately redefining the gaming experience for millions of players worldwide.
