The All-In-One Solution of Immutable zkEVM
Unlike general-purpose chains designed to accommodate a wide array of applications and smart contract functions, Immutable zkEVM is purpose-built for games. Recognizing the critical need for scale, speed, and seamless user experiences, this chain offers an ecosystem where games can flourish.
Partnering with a diverse range of entities across game development, distribution, marketing, marketplaces, analytics, and more, Immutable zkEVM provides game studios with all the tools necessary for success under one roof.
Immutable emerges as a comprehensive end-to-end blockchain gaming platform, now incorporating a zkEVM rollup. All existing Immutable products, including the Immutable Passport, Orderbook, and Checkout, seamlessly integrate with Immutable zkEVM. Preset smart contract templates are readily available to simplify and secure the development process.
Moreover, the chain introduces gas-free functionality for gamers leveraging Immutable Passport, effectively eliminating the primary friction point in the user experience and enabling players to engage in gameplay and trading without encountering gas fees.
Join the Immutable zkEVM Mainnet
The Immutable zkEVM Mainnet is currently live, operating in early access mode as games and partners transition to the new environment. During this phase, a Mainnet deployer allowlist ensures smooth operations and user safety, initially comprising select game studios and ecosystem partners.
Developers eager to participate can sign up for the waitlist in the Immutable Developer Hub and gain inclusion on the deployer allowlist as access to the chain expands. Alternatively, developers can commence building on Mainnet immediately by deploying Immutable\'s preset smart contract templates. Furthermore, all developers retain full access to Immutable zkEVM Testnet.
