Immutable Unity SDK
Immutable X has become an official Unity Games Verified Solution, with its Immutable Unity SDK enabling game studios to integrate web3 technology seamlessly. With over 1.5 million monthly users building games across 20+ platforms, Unity has established itself to be a popular game engine and Immutable’s integration with it marks a significant milestone.
The development is part of Immutable’s effort to provide accessible ways for builders to incorporate web3 technology into their games. By providing web3 tools like mints, withdraws, order, and trades, Immutable is helping game studios enhance their games through digital asset ownership. While the Unity SDK initially only exposes read-only endpoints, the roadmap for the Immutable Unity SDK promises more to come.
At Immutable X, the focus is on providing accessible ways for game builders to incorporate web3 technology into their games. By simplifying the integration process, Immutable X is helping game developers to build on the platform and join the ecosystem without any friction.
What’s Immutable X?
Immutable X is the leading platform for building web3 games on Ethereum, designed to power the next generation of web3 games. The platform allows game developers to mint millions of assets for free, provide frictionless gaming experiences, and maximize demand for their assets, all backed by a secure ecosystem of products and marketplaces.
With features like an integrated credit card payment system, zero gas fees on all NFT mints, simple APIs & SDKs, and a global order book, game developers can build and launch their games faster. Immutable X’s evolving technology can support games of any size, and the platform cannot be easily attacked or ransomed. Lastly, all NFTs traded on Immutable X are completely carbon neutral, thanks to the company’s partnership with StarkWare for their scaling technology.
IMX Token
The IMX token is the native utility token of the Immutable X protocol that rewards contributors to Ethereum’s first zk-rollup for NFTs. 20% of the protocol fee on every Immutable X transaction must be paid in IMX tokens. If users do not have IMX tokens, Immutable X will purchase them on the open market to preserve a seamless user experience.
The fees paid in IMX tokens are also sent to the “staking reward pool,”. By staking IMX tokens, users can earn rewards from this pool if they meet eligibility requirements. IMX tokens can also be used to vote on proposals for the future development and expansion of the protocol, which will be published on Snapshot.
