SPARQ launches RYFT Launchpad from Innovation City Ras Al Khaimah

SPARQ, an AI games company at Innovation City in Ras Al Khaimah, launched RYFT Launchpad in November 2026. The platform enables creators who have built games on RYFT to issue tokens for those games on Robinhood Chain, the Ethereum layer-2 network, without coding or separate tooling. Every token on the launchpad is tied to a playable game.

Token structure and game integration#

Each token works inside its game: players use it in-game and creators reward players with it. No token exists without a game, and the game is playable before the token launches. Tokens are recorded on-chain, allowing a game's community to form around a game that already exists. RYFT games posted to X or Telegram become playable inside the post or chat, with no download or installation required.

Platform adoption and game creation#

RYFT lets users build games by describing them in plain English. The platform generates code, art, sound, music and voice lines, then publishes the game to the web in one click. Within two weeks of opening to the public, more than 10,500 players signed up and built over 2,500 games. RYFT is available at ryft.fun and on X at x.com/RYFTCORP.

Competition and Innovation City role#

RYFT GAMES Season 01, a USD 50,000 competition for games built on RYFT, accepts entries until November 8, 2026. Anas Hijjawi, acting CEO of Innovation City, stated that the free zone was created to support companies like SPARQ. Christoffer Wilhelmsen, COO and co-founder of SPARQ, said 10,000 people signed up to build games on RYFT before the token existed.

Robinhood Chain deployment#

The launchpad is built on Robinhood Chain, making it among the first creator platforms on that network. A token is a digital asset recorded on a blockchain; a launchpad is the platform used to create and release one. RYFT integrates the launchpad into the platform itself, so creators launch tokens for their games within the same environment where they built them.
