How AppKit Helped Gaming Companies Improve Engagement and In-Game Experience

Understanding the Importance of Wallet Integration For Onchain Gaming:

In a rapidly evolving area of onchain gaming, integrating wallet functionality has become increasingly important for ensuring fast transactions, securely managing digital assets (such as NFTs and token-gated purchases), and significantly improving player retention and engagement. While wallets play a critical role in the onchain ecosystem, their integration presents UX challenges, such as onboarding, complicated wallet connections, and inconsistent experiences across platforms, leading to decreased player retention and user frustration.

How can gaming companies integrate onchain tools without losing player engagement?

Addressing Key UX Challenges to Enhance User Engagement:

Gaming giants and innovative startups alike share the same UX challenges. Ubisoft, Vameon, N3TWORK Studios each recognized the critical importance of smooth, frictionless wallet integration. They identified pain points including confusion during wallet setup, prolonged authentication times, and managing diverse user wallet preferences, for daily wallet users and for those who will have a new experience interacting with a wallet. Resolving these issues was important for user satisfaction, scalability, and long-term player engagement.

Insights from Leading Gaming Companies:

Ubisoft, renowned for immersive gaming experiences, faced substantial scalability demands during their NFT launch, "Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles." Managing thousands of simultaneous NFT mintings required a robust solution capable of accommodating different users onchain understanding, including those new to the onchain environment. Ubisoft also wanted to ensure uninterrupted connectivity in-game.

Vameon leveraged AppKit to optimize their "play-to-earn" model in "dEmpire of Vampire," aiming to boost user retention by simplifying access to crypto rewards and NFT assets. According to Vameon:

N3TWORK Studios, known for mobile gaming innovation, aimed to integrate blockchain elements, facilitating user adoption without overwhelming complexity. N3TWORK Studios highlighted:

Bringing Onchain Experience To Life:

All these companies wanted to bring the onchain experience to their games but with minimal friction and to fit into their existing infrastructure.

Leveraging AppKit to Simplify Wallet Connectivity and User Experience:

All three companies integrated AppKit successfully into their existing infrastructure and workflows, overcoming significant UX challenges with notable success. AppKit’s extensive compatibility with over 500 wallet providers simplified wallet connectivity, dramatically reducing onboarding friction and enhancing user satisfaction.

Moreover, AppKit’s comprehensive cross-platform support ensured consistent and flawless experience across desktop and mobile platforms, promoting frequent and sustained user interactions. The advanced security protocols embedded within AppKit mitigated risks associated with phishing and unauthorized access, building greater trust among users.

Measurable Results and Significant Improvements:

The integration of AppKit delivered impressive and measurable outcomes. Ubisoft achieved unprecedented scalability, minting nearly 10,000 NFTs within 20 minutes while managing heavy global traffic. As part of the Champions Tactics Wardlords collection launch, Ubisoft turned to Reown’s AppKit to ensure accessibility to the mint for fans around the world, who plugged in from Asia (39%), the Americas (26%), Europe (25%), and other regions.

Vameon stated “Its tools allowed us to optimize signups, personalize user interactions, and improve retention metrics while maintaining compatibility with our current infrastructure. This ensured a smooth transition and immediate impact on engagement and growth.”

N3TWORK Studios reported significant operational efficiencies and improved user adoption rates for their blockchain gaming features. Reduced onboarding complexity allowed them to attract and retain a larger player base effectively.
