Immutable, a leader in blockchain integration in the gaming industry, recently announced Immutable Nexus. This ecosystem aims to support AAA game studios by combining the public immutable zkEVM blockchain with dedicated zkEVM chains.
Immutable Nexus is designed as a cohesive ecosystem that combines the public Immutable zkEVM blockchain and Dedicated zkEVM chains. This integration aims to share liquidity, accessibility and security, creating an enhanced experience for both game developers and players. By mirroring Immutable zkEVM’s technology stack, Nexus enables game-specific customizations such as dedicated block space and configurable native ERC-20s.
Bridging the gap between games and blockchain
One of the biggest concerns of AAA game studios regarding blockchain integration is scalability. With the introduction of dedicated zkEVM chains, Immutable aims to address this issue by providing customizability and scalability on a single platform.
In addition, the ecosystem also includes a network of partners, such as marketplaces and cross-chain liquidity services, to ensure uniform functionality across all chains and provide games with essential services to support their economic systems.
Why choose an immutable Nexus?
Immutable has proven to be a steadfast partner to the Web3 gaming industry with its commitment to delivering solutions that meet the diverse needs of gaming studios. The platform’s flexibility to allow studios to create their own zkEVM chains and the inclusion of player onboarding solutions further strengthen its position as a one-stop shop for all blockchain gaming needs.
The announcement gives an example of how Immutable Nexus can work: “Deploying your application on a blockchain is like opening a store in a city. If you choose a big city, you have a small share in a larger market. If you start your own city in an attempt to dominate market share, you will have to put in a lot of work to acquire customers. Simply put, you shouldn’t create your own city to open a department store without having a lot of confidence that you can attract enough residents to make your store profitable.”
With this innovation, more AAA game studios can now consider operating their own chains, taking advantage of the network effects of Immutable Nexus. This addresses technical requirements and prioritizes providing consistent user experiences and a secure development environment.
