What is the Ronin Growth Playbook?
Success in Web3 gaming goes beyond building great games: it’s about mastering growth, engagement, and community scaling — and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Preparing your community-building strategy. Hiring a talented team. Designing sustainable tokenomics. We learned these lessons over seven years of building so you don’t have to.
Alongside Crescendo, we’ve distilled our hard-earned experience into a single document. The Ronin Growth Playbook is bank of advanced knowledge acquired throughout Axie’s meteoric rise in 2017, Pixels’ sudden surge in 2024, and Ronin’s multi-year growth from 20K to over 2M DAU. Each section features in-depth content and best practices for serious Web3 game studios.
- How to make key blockchain decisions – Choosing the right integrations and infrastructure.
- Target audience & community building – Defining your audience, creating a strong Discord presence, and crafting engaging social content.
- Go-to-market strategy – Structuring game release phases, NFT launch frameworks, and growth incentives.
- Essential team & processes – The must-have hires and workflows for a smooth product launch.
- Tokenomics & sustainability – Designing a balanced economy and preparing for a successful pre — and post — token launch.
- Industry insights & best practices – Proven strategies from Web3 gaming leaders.
Thank you to the Crescendo team for helping us put together the Ronin Growth Playbook!
