Global Gaming Marketplace Kinguin Partners With Immutable X
Offering 10 Million Gaming And esports Customers Access To The Most Advanced Platform For NFTs
Immutable X, the first layer-2 scaling solution for NFTs built on Ethereum, forms a partnership with Kinguin, a leading global video games marketplace, with over 10 million registered users. Both companies share a vision to create a new lightning-fast, low-cost, and eco-friendly NFT marketplace for gamers.
NFTs are essentially an evolution of digital ownership, a concept already familiar to gamers. Early NFT projects largely consisted of static images and art, while innovations in the space have led to the proliferation of dynamic digital collectibles, including trading cards, digital art, and other in-game items.
Unlike digital items of the past, the minting of digital collectibles in the form of NFTs enables verifiable ownership, uniqueness, and scarcity. NFT game items cannot be taken away from you by game developers, and can be sold for real money. The top NFT-centric projects, including popular games like Gods Unchained, Axie Infinity, and Aavegotchi, have experienced explosive growth, producing over $750 million in secondary sales volume in Q1 of 2021.
The Kinguin team is aiming for technical excellence in the build-up to their NFT offering that will include NFT Gaming Cards and more blockchain products in parallel to their existing digital marketplace, focused on games and software. Working closely with partners, game developers, influencers and gamers, Kinguin will welcome customers to the world of NFTs in a way that feels familiar and is easy to use from day one. Kinguin’s influence in the esports world spans from sponsoring major Counter Strike leagues, and they are well known for their Kinguin Esports Performance Center and Kinguin Esports Lounge in Europe.
“We are excited to partner up with Immutable X to bring innovative NFT offerings to gamers and eSports enthusiasts worldwide. We see the ultimate value in creating new rich experiences and functionality to these global communities”, said Viktor Romaniuk Wanli, Founder and CEO at Kinguin.
Immutable X was created by Immutable, the team behind one of Ethereum’s highest-grossing trading card games, Gods Unchained. It is the first layer-2 solution for NFTs on Ethereum, solving for all three issues related to NFT scaling: accessibility, scalability without compromising user custody and true decentralization.
Immutable X launched in Alpha this March and aims to unlock digital economies at scale by enabling NFTs to be traded, earned, shared, gamed and collected completely gas-free and securely with the power of ZK-rollup technology by StarkWare.
“Kinguin comes in with massive marketplace building knowledge, structures and experience, and we’re very excited about the unique trading experiences that they’ll be able to create and scale on Immutable X”, said Robbie Ferguson, co-founder of Immutable.
After observing and analyzing the NFTs industry for the last couple of years, Kinguin decided to introduce new structures, allowing the brand to enter the NFT market. Their goal is to leverage the existing ecosystem and enable their clients and partners to create unique NFT collections and trade them on the most advanced platform on the market.
“It is a natural next step for Kinguin, as our digital marketplace will expand its offering, according to the needs of our customers and incentivize them with new bounties and special deals built using NFT tokens”, added Viktor Romaniuk Wanli, Founder and CEO at Kinguin.
Leading cryptocurrency gaming company PeerGame has announced the launch of its new cashier system – its platform will now be integrated with WalletConnect for seamless, secure, and fast crypto transactions.
The investment in this integration removes intermediaries, offering players a more efficient and user-controlled payment process, with direct wallet deposits and withdrawals for quicker transactions, and further bolstering PeerGame’s security and privacy offerings.
WalletConnect is a feature that enables players to connect their wallets to the platform seamlessly, enabling crypto transactions without centralised payment solutions. This enhances security and privacy, as transactions are made directly from users’ wallets, reducing the risks of third-party custodians and increasing transparency through blockchain’s trustless principles.
This innovative partnership highlights PeerGame’s commitment to decentralised payments, providing players with greater control over their funds and enabling instant, secure transactions. By integrating WalletConnect, PeerGame delivers a future-focused solution, ensuring a more efficient and user-friendly payment experience in the Web3 gaming sector.
Margie Dobrowolski, Project Lead at PeerGame, commented:
“This new integration with WalletConnect offers our players a unique advantage, allowing them to perform seamless crypto transactions directly from their wallets. While other platforms may offer similar features, PeerGame’s integration is a true innovation in the Web3 gaming space, enhancing the overall gaming experience and setting us apart as pioneers in the industry.”
