July 31, 2025 – Sky Mavis, the team behind Axie Infinity and developer of the Ronin blockchain, has announced the Ronin Forge Innovation Grant, a new $400,000 initiative to support the next wave of breakout consumer dApps building on Ronin.
Selected teams can receive:
Up to $300k in RON
Infrastructure support from partners such as Chainlink and Tenderly
Advisory and growth support from teams behind Axie Infinity, Pixels, and more
Ronin has become a leading consumer chain in Web3 with 800K+ MAU, 31M wallets, and a fast-growing ecosystem of gaming, DeFi, and AI-based applications. Projects have scaled from 5K to 2M DAU, with builders drawn by Ronin’s sticky user base and global reach.
“From our roots, building Axie out of a tiny apartment 7 years ago, we know what lean, scrappy teams need to win,” said Sky Mavis CEO and Co-Founder CEO, Trung Nguyen. “The Forge Innovation Grant gives builders the capital, tools, and network to innovate, experiment and scale, whether they’re building games, gamified DeFi, AI agents, or something the world hasn’t imagined yet. The next generation of fun and accessible crypto apps will be powered by Ronin.”
The grant is open to teams with a live product or MVP, a clear go-to-market strategy, and the ability to deploy in 30–60 days. Here are the kinds of consumer apps Sky Mavis plans to support as Ronin evolves:
Gamified DeFi – yield farming with XP, leveling, or mini-games baked into staking
Speculative SocialFi – tokenized clout, betting on opinions, or creator PvP
AI Agents – bots that flip JPEGs, play games onchain, or farm with attitude
Launchpads – the hype engines behind the next top coins
GambleFi – high-stakes, fast loops, provably fair
Risk-Based – dynamic experiences where you can lose big or win bigger
Phygital & Commerce – token-gated drops, wallet-native loyalty, NFT receipts for physical goods
Web3 games — puzzle games to MMORPGs and beyond
Wild ideas – if it’s fun, weird, or working somewhere else, pitch it to us!
Applications are now open. Learn more and apply here.
