Immutable, a key player in blockchain gaming, has introduced the early access phase of its Immutable zkEVM Mainnet, powered by Polygon. The primary objective is to empower players by providing enhanced control over digital assets and reducing transaction costs.

Seamless Gaming

The Immutable zkEVM Mainnet, designed exclusively for gaming, seamlessly integrates Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, ensuring low transaction costs, substantial scaling capabilities, and robust security. This innovation combines zero knowledge (zk) rollup technology with the Ethereum ecosystem, granting access to Immutable's suite of gaming products.

Leading Web3 IP

Leading web3 games like Guild of Guardians, Metalcore, Shardbound, Treeverse, Cool Cats, BADMAD Robots, Space Nation, Eyeball Games, Imaginary Ones, and more are among the first to benefit from Immutable zkEVM.

Immutable's President, Robbie Ferguson, stressed the significance of this industry milestone, stating, “The launch of Immutable zkEVM is a milestone moment for the industry. This is a chain built exclusively for gamers and gaming studios, offering everything a targeted gaming audience could ask for.”

Scale and Speed 

Immutable zkEVM addresses gaming requirements, optimizing for scale, speed, and native user experiences. Unlike general-purpose chains, it aims to eliminate friction, high transaction costs, and latency, fostering an ecosystem conducive to gaming success. The platform has secured partnerships across game development, distribution, marketing, marketplaces, and analytics, establishing a comprehensive hub for game studios.

Diverging from traditional chains, Immutable zkEVM simplifies development for game studios by providing preset smart contract templates, ensuring a secure and straightforward path to deployment. Furthermore, the platform introduces gas-free functionality for gamers through Immutable Passport, eliminating gas fees from the player experience.

Final Remarks

The Immutable zkEVM Mainnet is now live in early access mode, featuring a Mainnet deployer allowlist for smooth operations and user safety. During this phase, select game studios and ecosystem partners enjoy exclusive access.

Developers can sign up for the waitlist in the Immutable Developer Hub for inclusion on the deployer allowlist. Developers are encouraged to start building on the Mainnet immediately using Immutable’s preset smart contract templates. Full access to Immutable zkEVM Testnet is available, providing developers with a comprehensive environment for exploration and development in the blockchain gaming space.
