Immutable, a big player in the world of web3 gaming, has just announced the launch of their innovative Immutable Passport feature on the Immutable zkEVM platform, which is powered by Polygon. This passport feature will now have the ability to revolutionize the gaming world by eliminating gas fees for gamers!
Immutable zkEVM: A New Era for Gamers
The introduction of Immutable Passport on Immutable zkEVM is a game-changer. It allows games and marketplaces on the platform to sponsor gas fees for users, making it completely free for gamers who use Immutable Passport. This approach effectively removes the primary barrier in the user experience, allowing players to engage in gameplay, asset trading, and economic participation without the hassle of dealing with gas fees.
The Immutable Passport provides a smart contract wallet designed for players on Immutable zkEVM. Game studios can manage their gas fee accounts via Immutable’s Developer Hub and configure their sponsorship settings to optimize expenditure.
Addressing the Gas Fee Challenge in Gaming
According to the company, blockchain gaming has traditionally faced a major issue with gas fees. These fees are charged to players for executing transactions on the blockchain. Not only do they pose a financial burden for the players, but they also disrupt the immersive gaming experience. To tackle this problem, Immutable has taken decisive action. Building on its experience with the successful web3 game Gods Unchained, the company has successfully eliminated gas fees for gamers on Immutable X. This has set a new standard in the industry and promises to revolutionize blockchain gaming.
Phased Rollout and Future Plans
Immutable is planning to sponsor the gas fees for Passport users across all applications as soon as the Immutable zkEVM Mainnet is launched. This will be done in phases to make the transition to the new system smoother for games and other applications. The goal is to maintain a seamless user experience while also promoting competitive advantages for applications that choose to sponsor gas fees.
