Merit Circle DAO has announced a strategic partnership with Immutable to bring its blockchain gaming products to Immutable zkEVM. The two companies are combining their expertise and gaming technologies to reach more players around the world.
As part of the alliance, Immutable will add Merit Circle DAO’s open-source blockchain network Beam and native digital asset marketplace Sphere to Immutable zkEVM, the Web3 gaming platform built on the layer-2 Ethereum scaling protocol Polygon.
This collaboration enables Merit Circle DAO to tap into Immutable’s innovative platform and technology, allowing Beam to incorporate next-gen web3 solutions, such as Immutable Orderbook and Immutable Passport.
Commenting on the strategic partnership, James Ferguson, Co-founder and CEO of Immutable said: “This strategic alliance with Merit Circle DAO and commitment from Beam aligns perfectly with our mission to bring digital ownership to every gamer in the world. Immutable’s robust ecosystem and cutting-edge technology combined with Merit Circle’s web3 gaming expertise allows us to enrich the gaming experience for millions of players worldwide.”
Beam Network is a multi-chain gaming ecosystem developed to make game development simpler. The platform allows studios to accelerate the process of building new games whilst enhancing the overall player experience.
Previously only available for Avalanche-based projects, the platform is expanding to the Immutable zkEVM to help studios and content creators increase their revenue and liquidity by sharing in-game digital asset orders across the world’s leading marketplaces.
The Polygon-powered gaming platform has already teamed up with multiple gaming marketplaces including recent collaborations with Ubisoft Strategic Innovation Lab and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Marco van den Heuvel, CGO and co-founder of Merit Circle said this alliance is part of its strategy of making sure that Merit Circle DAO’s gaming ecosystem Beam is where players and developers are.
“This collaboration with Immutable and Polygon Labs represents a huge leap towards that vision,” said van den Heuvel. “That’s because we know, along with our new partners, that blockchain technology will soon define gaming – and that the gaming community needs a marketplace that reflects that. Our user-friendly applications, combined with Immutable’s zkEVM, powered by Polygon, are going to be a key piece of the gaming jigsaw in the very near future. We simply can’t wait to explore what’s next.”
