Initially incubated by Polygon Labs, the DApp Store Kit will integrate the Ready Games mobile game development toolkit to help developers implement Web3 games.
The DApp Store Kit for deploying Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible decentralized application (DApp) stores will be combined with Ready Games, allowing developers to integrate Web3 on-chain support. This will include the ability to integrate on-chain wallets and user profiles, as well as a dApp Store frontend stack for running Web3 games.
The announcement highlighted the prevalent “clumsy user experience” of mobile Web3 games, which often require users to constantly switch games on and off in order to interact with external wallet applications.
Ready Games operates in the open-source gaming space, with studios representing more than 2,500 games and 80 million monthly active users showcasing their titles on the platform’s soon-to-launch dApp Store.

Many of these publishers are expected to migrate existing games to Web3 using the Ready Games developer tools and dApp Store Kit and deploy them on Polygon’s decentralized scaling protocols.
Ravikant Agrawal, director of growth at Polygon Labs, said gaming remains central to the Web3 ecosystem, where DApp stores can deliver better user experience and engagement:
“By leveraging decentralized app stores, players can enjoy a seamless and secure experience while contributing to the growth of the Web3 community.”
Ready Games CEO David Bennahum added that the integration of the Web3 platform’s gaming technology and the dApp Store Kit could innovate the mobile gaming landscape:
“This integration paves the way for a new era of immersive and decentralized gaming experiences that will drive the mass adoption of Web3 technology.”
The dApp Store Kit DApp development platform includes a leading set of Web3 game development technologies to help Web2 game publishers migrate their titles to Web3.
Casual players were marked as a potential driver of blockchain-based games from industry players. Meanwhile, the Web3 gaming industry still criticizes from mainstream commentators for tokenomic issues and general user experience and gameplay issues.
