The all-in-one solution of immutable zkEVM
Unlike general purpose chains that are designed for a wide range of applications and smart contract features, Immutable zkEVM is built specifically for games. Recognizing the critical need for scale, speed and seamless user experiences, this chain provides an ecosystem in which games can thrive.
By partnering with a wide range of entities across game development, distribution, marketing, marketplaces, analytics and more, Immutable zkEVM provides game studios with all the tools needed for success under one roof.
Immutable emerges as a comprehensive end-to-end blockchain gaming platform, which now includes a zkEVM rollup. All existing Immutable products, including the Immutable Passport, Orderbook and Checkout, integrate seamlessly with Immutable zkEVM. Preset smart contract templates are readily available to simplify and secure the development process.
Additionally, the chain is introducing gas-free functionality for gamers using Immutable Passport, effectively eliminating the primary friction point in the user experience and allowing players to game and trade without having to pay gas fees.
Join the immutable zkEVM Mainnet
The immutable zkEVM Mainnet is currently live and operating in early access mode as games and partners transition to the new environment. During this phase, an enable list for Mainnet implementers ensures smooth operation and user safety, initially consisting of selected game studios and ecosystem partners.
Developers interested in participating can join the waitlist in the Immutable Developer Hub and be included on the deployer eligibility list as access to the chain expands. Alternatively, developers can immediately start building on Mainnet by deploying Immutable’s preset smart contract templates. Additionally, all developers retain full access to Immutable zkEVM Testnet.
