Forge's API for players rewards and engagement is ready.

Forge’s API raises bar for player rewards and engagement

Forge has launched its application programming interface (API) for game developers to engage and reward players for their gaming habits.

San Francisco-based Forge said the API enables game developers to better interact with their audiences, offering a seamless solution for integrating “battle pass” experiences and fostering long-term player engagement. The toolkit is available today.

With the Forge API, developers gain access to a toolkit that facilitates the creation and management of rewarding, multi-week quests within their games. These quests not only attract new players but also keep them invested over extended periods, offering a continuous stream of challenges and rewards.

“At Forge, we understand the challenges faced by game developers in today’s competitive market,” said Kun Gao, CEO at Forge, in a statement. “With the Forge API, we’re empowering developers to craft captivating campaigns that forge lasting connections with players. From immersive quest lines to personalized rewards, Forge is dedicated to enhancing the gaming experience for developers and players alike.”

The Forge API has seamless reward distribution via Web3 protocols. It streamlines the distribution of digital rewards directly through its platform, supporting gaming protocols such as Avalanche, Immutable, Polygon, Ronin, Solana, and Sui. This ensures that players feel a sense of accomplishment and progression as they engage with the game.

Forge enables developers to target specific types of gamers based on their personas and gaming history. With a community of over 300,000 verified gamers (built since October 2023), developers gain unparalleled access to potential players who are actively seeking engaging experiences.

The Forge API has won praise from developers who have witnessed its impact firsthand.

“Partnering with Forge has been instrumental in driving interest and engagement in our game, Captain & Company,” said Sam Peurifoy at Kapgames, in a statement. “The Forge API allows us to reward players for not only joining our community but also staying involved over the long term.”

And Jay Chang, cofounder at Genopets, echoed the sentiments. Chang said in a statement, “The Forge API has been a powerful tool in growing the Genopets community, attracting real, verified gamers and keeping them engaged over time.”

Forge’s API is now available for integration, offering game developers an unparalleled toolkit to attract and retain players with rewarding experiences. Forge spun out of GGWP.
