Games have historically always been early adopters of technology—that’s why they’re a core part of our strategy to drive metaverse mass adoption. To support and grow a vibrant gaming ecosystem on Klaytn, we’re actively working on a number of initiatives that range from financial support to a development package, and access to global gaming guilds.
Our financial support comes in the form of grants and incentive programs, to help gaming studios realize their gaming vision without limitations. On the development front, we’ve put together a Klaytn Development Package that is designed for game studios that lack the experience or manpower to easily create L2 Service Chains, integrate with oracles, and gain access to developer tools and resources.
We’re also actively engaging in discussions with leading gaming guilds around the world to expand Klaytn’s gaming community and user base—in fact, we’re going to be announcing our first gaming guild partner soon, so stay tuned! Beyond that, an IGO (Initial Game Offering) platform is also in the works, which will allow any and all in our community to actively participate in the success of the Klaytn gaming ecosystem.
Our efforts have already borne fruit, with renowned game publishers Netmarble and Neowiz jumping onboard to build their blockchain gaming platforms and games on Klaytn, alongside indie smash hits from talented studios.

Klay Dice
Klay Dice is the P2E version of DICAST: Rules of Chaos, a strategic board game where players dodge traps, hunt monsters, and upgrade their heroes to take on even tougher opponents.
