OKX & Immutable: A Strategic Alliance
Cryptocurrency exchange OKX and Ethereum gaming platform Immutable have announced a strategic alliance aimed at unveiling a specialized GameFi launchpad. This launchpad will be hosted on OKX’s NFT marketplace, marking the beginning of collaborative integrations between the two entities.
The GameFi Launchpad and Collaborative Integrations
The GameFi launchpad, a focal point of this collaboration, will serve as a platform for introducing assets associated with games launching on the Immutable zkEVM network. Moreover, OKX pledges support for Immutable zkEVM through its marketplace and wallet infrastructure.
Immutable reciprocates by integrating the OKX wallet into its Immutable Passport, a simplified wallet and sign-in solution for crypto gaming. Additionally, the OKX NFT Marketplace will find its place within the Immutable Orderbook and marketplace ecosystem.
Upcoming Releases and Global Launch Dates
The launchpad's debut is anticipated in the "upcoming months," coinciding with the release of Immutable zkEVM titles like Guild of Guardians, MetalCore, and Shardbound. Guild of Guardians is slated for a global release on May 15, while MetalCore aims for an open beta release in May, as reported by Decrypt’s GG. Meanwhile, Shardbound recently concluded an alpha playtest involving 2,000 users.
Commitment to Web3 Gaming Accessibility
Jason Lau, OKX's Chief Innovation Officer, underscores the platform's commitment to advancing Web3 gaming accessibility. Lau affirms,
Web3 gaming is on the verge of becoming mainstream, and at OKX, we are committed to making our wallet and marketplace the best way to access these next-generation games and their items.
The alliance between OKX and Immutable marks a significant step in the evolution of Ethereum gaming, promising enhanced accessibility and integration within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. With collaborative efforts underway, the future holds exciting prospects for gamers and crypto enthusiasts alike.
