Ronin Network has announced the launch of the Ronin Forge Innovation Grant, a new initiative offering over $300,000 in funding to support developers building web3 games and applications.
Along with financial support, the program provides access to technical infrastructure, expert mentorship, and a strong network of investors and partners. The grant is designed to attract and accelerate promising projects that can expand the Ronin ecosystem.
A Growing Platform for Web3 Developers
Ronin has already established itself as a major force in web3 gaming, most notably as the platform behind Axie Infinity. With over 800,000 monthly active users and more than 31 million wallets connected, Ronin offers developers a thriving and engaged audience.
Projects on Ronin have shown rapid growth, with several teams scaling from a few thousand users to millions. As decentralized finance protocols continue to migrate to the network, the opportunity to build on Ronin becomes even more attractive.
Wide Scope of Eligible Projects
The Ronin Forge Grant welcomes a diverse range of web3 projects. Game developers working on everything from simple puzzles to large-scale MMORPGs can apply. The grant also supports creators building gamified finance apps, social finance tools, AI-based trading bots, NFT utilities, and gambling applications that use fair, transparent mechanics. Additionally, developers working on physical-digital commerce integrations using token-gated systems or NFT receipts are encouraged to join.
Support Beyond Funding
In addition to the $300,000 in RON tokens, selected teams will receive technical support through workshops and dedicated office hours. Partners like Chainlink and Tenderly will offer discounted infrastructure tools, while experienced teams behind successful projects like Pixels and Axie Infinity will provide guidance.
Applicants will also benefit from discounted security audits, token vesting tools, and Web3 API services through Moralis. Marketing and promotional support within the Ronin ecosystem is also part of the package to help projects gain visibility.
How to Apply for the Grant
To be eligible, teams must present a live product or a clearly defined MVP and show previous experience with web3 development. A strong plan to grow within the Ronin ecosystem and a 30-to-60-day timeline for deployment is also required.
Applications can be submitted through the official Ronin Network website. Each submission will be reviewed by the Ronin team to select the most promising candidates for funding and support.
