Openfort, a Web3 gaming solution, introduced its Ecosystems product to simplify the management of multiple games within a single Web3 ecosystem.
Joan Alavedra, CEO of Openfort, shared in an interview with GamesBeat that the solution tackles the increasing complexity faced by developers in the fast-evolving Web3 gaming landscape as they expand their games across multiple blockchains.
Bridging the Gap in Web3 Gaming
In the traditional Web2 gaming sphere, platforms like the Epic Games Store have emerged as centralized hubs for game aggregation, distribution, and monetization.
These platforms often leverage flagship games, like Fortnite, to build their ecosystems. Inspired by this model, Ecosystems by Openfort adapts similar principles for the fragmented blockchain world, enabling projects to build comprehensive gaming ecosystems unified by a shared token, rather than a flagship game.

“Our goal with Ecosystems is to build a future-proof network,” said Joan Alavedra, who co-founded the company with his brother, Jaume Alavedra. “We aim to create an open network where any game can integrate to foster growth, tap into different communities, and maintain decentralization. The games themselves are pivotal stakeholders in the ecosystem.”
Joan Alavedra emphasized, “There is a rising demand for multi-game studios and token-unified platforms. As this trend evolves, solutions like Ecosystems become increasingly vital to address the fragmentation and complexity hindering the industry’s full potential.”
“Similar to Steam and the Epic Games Store, we offer a game discovery network and tools to enable the emergence of numerous ecosystems,” Joan Alavedra explained. “These brands require this infrastructure to kickstart their journey. Some seek custom wallet providers, unique tokens, and authenticators, and that’s where we come in to help.”
Once this infrastructure is established, players can discover and engage with new games seamlessly.
“This enables companies to coordinate new ecosystems,” he added.
A Way to Manage Games, Tokens, and Partners with Ecosystems
Ecosystems offer a suite of products and services to enhance the gamer experience. The platform’s core features Ecosystem Policies, a groundbreaking tool that enables developers to manage rules like gas limits at the ecosystem level effectively.
“Ecosystem Policies ensures consistent and efficient policy application across all games and shared assets,” Alavedra stated. “This level of control and standardization is a significant enhancement in the Web3 gaming realm.”
The white-label dashboard serves as another key component of the Ecosystems platform. This customizable interface can be hosted on the developer’s subdomain, simplifying partner onboarding and offering a unified view of the ecosystem to users.
