Immutable, the popular blockchain gaming platform, has announced a strategic alliance with Polygon, a well-known scaling solution provider. This partnership aims to create a world where millions of players can truly own their digital assets, and web3 games are as seamless, fast, and fun as traditional games.

The partnership will leverage Immutable’s zkEVM, a new EVM-compatible zk-rollup powered by Polygon technology and with full support from the Immutable platform. The zkEVM will enable developers to build high-quality games that support true asset ownership, making game development faster, easier, and less risky.

Polygon is home to some of the biggest web3 projects like Aave, Uniswap, and OpenSea, and its scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption, boasting over 220.8 million unique addresses, 1.18 million smart contracts created, and 2.48 billion total transactions processed. Games built on Immutable and Polygon have received close to US$2 billion of cumulative investor funding in 2022 alone.

Immutable is the first gaming platform to deliver a zero-knowledge (zk) scaling solution to the Ethereum community and provide developers with multiple zk-based scaling options. Developers can easily migrate their games and smart contracts from Ethereum, Polygon, and any other EVM-compatible solution into the product suite, without any modifications.

Upon launch, IMX will be used as gas for Immutable zkEVM, becoming the native network token and representing the equivalent utility of most current L1 blockchains. Additionally, 20% of trades on the Immutable platform, regardless of rollup, must be paid in IMX.

The partnership between Immutable and Polygon is a major milestone in the history of web3 gaming, promising to bring digital ownership to millions of people around the world. The companies are paving the future for web3 gaming and making it easier than ever for developers to bring their ideas to life. Players can look forward to a wave of AAA Web3 games that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Immutable and Polygon are building the future together.
