About Forge
Forge is a Web3 universal gaming account platform that lets players connect accounts from different games and communities, aggregate achievements and progress into one unified profile, and earn rewards based on their engagement. Game developers can publish quests, season passes, and other incentives to attract and reward real players.
Its core narrative is "making players' time and contributions more valuable." In traditional gaming, a player's input across multiple games is fragmented and hard to accumulate or monetize; developers also lack effective tools to find core players. Forge connects players and games more closely through a unified gaming identity and reward mechanism.
In the past six months, Forge fully opened its public beta in June 2026; by September, registered users surpassed 1 million and partnered games exceeded 60. The platform also launched a Telegram integration and introduced new tools like Forge Direct, giving developers more flexibility in designing reward campaigns. Overall, Forge is moving from early testing toward broader adoption.
During the past six months, Forge's major progress was the launch of GameLink and PayLink in June 2026. GameLink provides developers with customizable landing pages that integrate purchases, trailers, and community features, serving as a direct channel to players. PayLink enables in-app payment integration with mobile-optimized checkout and alternative payment support, reportedly increasing revenue by up to 35%. Both tools are free, with a Pro tier offering custom domains and analytics.
For future development, Forge positions GameLink as the entry point into the Forge Direct ecosystem, planning to expand into full community portals featuring loyalty programs, quests, and commerce capabilities. This aims to help developers acquire users directly, strengthen player relationships, and optimize monetization.
