Immutable Chain

Immutable Chain (also known as Immutable zkEVM) is the #1 blockchain specifically built for gaming, combining the best on-chain infrastructure with comprehensive tools to attract, engage, and monetize players. Built as an EVM-compatible layer-2 solution, it offers Web2 development simplicity while providing the security and decentralization benefits of Ethereum.

Platform Overview

Immutable Chain delivers enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure purpose-built for game developers, enabling studios to build onchain games with the same ease as traditional Web2 development. The platform has processed over 220 million total transactions, supports more than 700 games in development, and has facilitated over $2 billion in funding for games building on the ecosystem.

Native Game Engine SDKs

Purpose-built Unity and Unreal Engine software development kits make blockchain features effortless to implement, allowing developers to add onchain assets in minutes without deep blockchain expertise. The SDKs handle all blockchain complexity behind familiar game development interfaces.

Invisible Blockchain for Players

Through integration with Immutable Passport, all blockchain interactions are completely invisible to players. Gas fees are sponsored through built-in gas sponsorship that completely removes transaction fees from the player experience, transaction approvals are handled seamlessly without interrupting immersion with confusing blockchain messaging, and complex wallet management is abstracted away through one-click onboarding via email authentication.

NFT and In-Game Asset Infrastructure

Ready-to-deploy ERC-721 and ERC-1155 compatible Asset Contracts for creating unique and semi-fungible game items including collectibles, character skins, equipment, land parcels, and any other unique in-game assets. Fungible token contracts (ERC-20 compatible) enable game-specific currencies, reward tokens, and economic systems that can interoperate with the broader blockchain ecosystem.

Developer-Friendly Infrastructure

Full EVM compatibility means developers can use existing Ethereum development tools, smart contracts, and infrastructure while benefiting from gaming-optimized performance and economics.

Quick Start Capabilities

The platform enables rapid development with straightforward workflows:

• Bridge assets between Ethereum and Immutable Chain in minutes
• Deploy smart contracts using familiar Ethereum tooling
• Build complete games using Unity or Unreal quickstart guides
• Trade NFTs and in-game assets through integrated marketplaces

Ecosystem Access

By building on Immutable Chain, games gain immediate access to millions of gamers already discovering and playing titles across the Immutable ecosystem through a network of 6+ million verified users and 1000+ connected apps, significantly reducing player acquisition costs and time-to-market.

Performance and Scale

Designed specifically for gaming workloads, the chain handles high transaction volumes with low latency, supporting everything from simple asset ownership to complex game economies with thousands of concurrent players.

Comprehensive Resources

Comprehensive documentation, example implementations, and development tools help studios go from concept to launch quickly, with clear guides for building games, deploying contracts, and integrating marketplace functionality.
