Axelar Network and Immutable have now integrated, providing users with a seamless way to access Web3 games across more than 50 blockchains, and offering powerful scalability and coverage for future game developers. Immutable zkEVM is a ZK-rollup blockchain based on Polygon, located within Immutable's Web3 game platform. It provides EVM compatibility, low cost, scalability, and Ethereum-level security for games. Integration with the Axelar network means:

Directly accessing Ethereum L1 users through games, making the user registration experience more seamless.

Players can use Immutable Passport and Immutable Checkout on Ethereum L1 to cross-chain their assets for deposit and withdrawal on Ethereum L1, making it easier.

The game will have the ability to expand across multiple blockchains.

Michael Powell from Immutable stated: "Web3 games deployed on Immutable zkEVM, combined with Immutable Checkout, can now connect to player addresses covering the largest blockchain networks. Players will be able to seamlessly interact with digital assets stored on the blockchain through Immutable Passport in the game."

In addition, the native utility token IMX of the Immutable ecosystem will be securely bridged to the new Immutable zkEVM environment for paying transaction fees and incentivizing users and developers.

Axelar Network's CEO Sergey Gorbunov stated: "The integration of Immutable provides an extension package for the Axelar ecosystem, making it more complete and easier to interact with for Web3 gaming platforms leaders such as Decentraland and XPLA. This marks an important step towards interoperability in game development and the metaverse environment, a concept that has been discussed since the emergence of Web3."

SimWin Sports' Chief Technology Officer, Jean-Yves Martineau, said: "With Axelar's interoperability integrated into Immutable Checkout and deployed on Immutable zkEVM, games can attract users with transactional intent from the entire Ethereum ecosystem. Fragmentation of user funds has always been a barrier to acquiring users in the Web3 gaming industry, but Immutable and Axelar are eliminating these barriers, ultimately providing stronger fan interaction for SimWin Sports' AI-driven sports simulations. In addition, players can withdraw assets back to Ethereum L1, which allows players to truly own their in-game items."

By integrating into the Axelar network, games built on the Immutable zkEVM can connect to an increasing number of blockchain networks (56 at the time of integration) and have built-in programmability, security, and scalability at the cross-chain network layer.
