The pioneer in web3 gaming, Immutable has launched its testnet zkEVM in partnership with Polygon Labs.
Immutable zkEVM will now provide users with a dedicated chain for decentralized game development while offering EVM compatibility, low-cost infrastructure and enterprise grade security.
Polygon and Immutable announced their partnership in March in efforts to build a dedicated gaming solution using Zero Knowledge (zk) technology to accelerate web3 game development.
The official announcement states that, “Using smart contracts for game development is the new gold standard, and this is one giant step forward in developing a gaming ecosystem that benefits players, studios, and developers.”
With this launch, all of Immutable’s product suites including Passport, Orderbook, and Checkout are now compatible with zkEVM and its functionality.
“While friction and high transaction costs may be acceptable in other markets, games need to optimize for scale, speed, and native user experiences,” Polygon says in the announcement blogpost, adding “That’s why Immutable zkEVM goes beyond developer tooling and focuses on making game studios successful through massive liquidity, player community, and powerful network effects.”
The blogpost further claims that Immutable zkEVM benefit developers with decreased development cost, enhanced gameplay mechanics and seamless interoperability enabling a broader ecosystem within the gaming industry.
