Joyride - Web3 platform for game developers

Joyride is a platform for building and operating blockchain-powered mobile games. Joyride provides the game developers with an end-to-end publishing platform for everything they need to build, launch and operate a high-quality web3 game. It provides tools and capabilities that address not just blockchain features but also publishing support, which includes analytics, A/B testing and live operations.

Joyride is optimized for the ecosystem of Unity, a widely popular game development engine and allows developers to build and launch block-chain powered e-sports, casual and social games on mobile devices. Web3 games turn players into owners. Whether they are playing to earn or playing for fun, Joyride provides the compliant tools to onboard casual gamers onto blockchain without requiring any expertise.

The Joyride blockchain wallet allows easy on-boarding of naïve players with the flexibility required for seasoned players. Joyride offers an integrated pipeline to turn the assets into minted NFTs that can be offered for sale to players. A Genesis drop can be arranged to fund the game or playable NFTs can be offered to an established game community. The platform handles all the merchandising, marketing and payments complexity.

The long term roadmap includes the launch of a JRX token to serve as a medium of exchange and governance for the Joyride ecosystem. Consumers would be able to use the tokens to acquire NFTs and otherwise engage with games. Developers could get the tokens as a form of payment.

Joyride has raised a total of $14M in funding. Omar Siddique is the founder and CEO of Joyride.
