Immutables, we have HUGE news. Digital ownership is broken and web3 gaming economies are the future. With the announcement today, it’s clearer than ever that Immutable is going to define the inevitable Web3 gaming future.
Today, we announce an industry-defining partnership with Polygon.
We’ll cover what this means for Builders, Players, and finally $IMX.
Builders - Immutable is the new home for web3 gaming
Committing to a tech partner can make or break a gaming studio. More so in an emerging industry like web3 game development with a mess of jargon and technical details. As game devs ourselves, we intimately understand the nuanced needs of games and studios of all sizes. You deserve to build a great game without having to worry about the web3 tech stack!
With the introduction of the Immutable zkEVM, powered by Polygon, builders now have the flexibility to choose between two Immutable rollups:
Immutable zkEVM: Immutable zkEVM is the first of its kind - a chain for games that offers low cost, massive scale, Ethereum security, and smart contract compatibility. You can use the same code and tooling that you have on Ethereum, but with much higher throughput and lower fees.
Immutable X: Mint millions of NFTs for free and unlock truly scalable web3 games. Immutable X is built for games that prioritize high performance and low cost over advanced web3 game mechanics, while still maintaining the underlying security of Ethereum.
Flexibility and freedom are absolutely key to the future of Web3 gaming development. One rollup may make sense for one game and not for another. We understand that builders want this flexibility, that is why we have partnered with Polygon to offer another world-class product for the games of the future.
Players - The best Web3 Games will be on Immutable
The future of gaming is exciting, with fun games featuring truly ownable assets. If you’re a gamer who wants to be at the forefront, there’s none better than the Immutable ecosystem. More gaming titles, both triple-A and indie, will be coming to Immutable. Sooner than you think.
As of today, we have one of the largest pipelines of games. Between Immutable and Polygon, there has been almost $2B USD of investor funding for games building on our ecosystems. The best Web3 games will come from the Immutable ecosystem.
Can’t wait to play? Players can look forward to a huge wave of new games launching on Immutable very soon.
Token Holders - The biggest upgrade to token utility in history is coming to $IMX #IMXUPGRADE
As Immutable cements itself as the home for web3 gaming, the same goes for the $IMX holder. Through this industry-defining strategic alliance, the utility of $IMX will be massively upgraded and Immutable will have one of the largest pipelines of web3 games.
Revised tokenomics engrain $IMX, the Digital Worlds Foundation’s token, as a crucial component in the zkEVM ecosystem, closely aligning platform success to the token holder.
Here’s what’s new
- More volume of games: Immutable and Polygon have one the largest pipeline of web3 games in the industry. This volume of games ultimately accrues to the $IMX token holders’ benefit.
- More rewards: 20% of fees on the Immutable platform, regardless of rollup, must be paid in $IMX. This fee utility will scale significantly as it expands to all new Immutable zkEVM environments and applications.
- More utility: $IMX will be used as the gas for Immutable zkEVM, delivering L1-like utility to the community.
And it doesn’t stop there! Stay tuned… 🙂
Utility doesn’t stop with gas. The $IMX fundamentals are upgrading. In partnership with the Foundation, we will announce further changes over the next two months.
