Immutable and Polygon Labs join forces to revolutionize Web3 gaming

Immutable and Polygon Labs have announced their partnership to drive the adoption of Web3 gaming. With multi-billion-dollar gaming experiences, both companies plan to help gaming developers bring their vision to the Web3 space more accessible than ever. As part of their partnership, Immutable has adopted Polygon's new zkEVM technology to reduce transaction fees, all compatible with Ethereum.

Partnership Goals

The partnership between the two companies aims to combine their most innovative products and services to facilitate gaming developers' Web3 activity. As a result, the long-term goal is to encourage the 3 billion active gamers and creators to join the blockchain sector.

Simplifying Web3 Gaming

Polygon simplifies the technological aspect of Web3 gaming, such as transactions, while Immutable holds some of the most user-friendly platform products for gamers.

Immutable zkEVM

Immutable zkEVM is an sk-rollup designed using Polygon's structure and Immutable's platform support. Gaming developers using the Immutable zkEVM and their platform to build Web3 games can create games faster, cheaper, and cleaner than before. Polygon's zkEVM technology is already appreciated for offering low transaction fees and faster processing. Most importantly, these features are fully compatible with the Ethereum blockchain.

Co-Founder's Statement

Immutable Co-Founder Robbie Ferguson stated that "by combining the #1 web3 gaming platform - currently serving hundreds of game studios and millions of players - with Polygon's best-in-class zkEVM technology, we are building an Ethereum-centric gaming ecosystem that is poised to take web3 mainstream and bring digital ownership to millions of people around the world."

Experience in the Blockchain Gaming Niche

With experience in the blockchain gaming niche, both Polygon Labs and Immutable plan to revolutionize the blockchain gaming sector. Immutable Games launched the first NFT trading card game, Gods Unchained, which skyrocketed to success shortly after its release. The team is currently developing a highly-promising multiplayer RPG - Guild of Guardians. Meanwhile, Polygon Labs boasts over 1.18 million smart contracts created to date. The platform gained popularity globally due to its clever Ethereum scaling solutions for the Polygon protocols.

Conclusion

Overall, the partnership between Immutable and Polygon Labs has the potential to change Web3 gaming as we know it. By bringing together their collective strengths, they aim to create an Ethereum-centric gaming ecosystem that will encourage millions of people around the world to join the blockchain sector.
