Web3 Gaming Built on Immutable zkEVM, Powered by Polygon
🎮 Gaming's zkEVM Revolution
Immutable zkEVM, powered by Polygon, is becoming the foundation for Web3 gaming. This development marks a significant shift in the blockchain gaming landscape:
- zkEVM Technology: Combines zero-knowledge proofs with Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility.
- Scalability: Offers improved transaction speed and reduced costs for gaming applications.
- Ecosystem Growth: Attracts game developers and players to the Polygon network.
The phrase 'Slowly, then all at once' suggests a tipping point in adoption. As more games integrate this technology, we may see a rapid acceleration in Web3 gaming popularity and functionality.
Slowly, then all at once. Web3 gaming is built on Immutable zkEVM, powered by Polygon ⚡️
Immutable is one of the fastest-growing chains surging past 3 million signups. Since the Immutable Passport launch in early 2024, signups have doubled in the last two months alone. Hit games are all launching simultaneously on Immutable.
AggLayer Launches Unified Bridge: First Step Towards Seamless Multi-Chain Future
AggLayer has launched its unified bridge, marking a significant shift in multi-chain architecture. Instead of multiple bridge contracts on Ethereum for different L2s, AggLayer introduces a single bridge contract for all connected chains. Key features: - Single bridge contract on Ethereum manages all chain connections - Local bridge root copies enable direct cross-chain transactions - Eliminates need for L2 → L1 → L2 bridging - Currently connects 2 chains, with more planned for 2024 The unified bridge is the first component of AggLayer's vision for an aggregated blockchain environment, aiming to enable near-instant, secure cross-chain transactions and unified liquidity.
Agglayer Launches CDK OP Stack Configuration
Agglayer has introduced CDK OP Stack configuration, offering developers a new way to build OP Stack chains with enhanced features: - Zero-knowledge (ZK) technology integration for improved security - No Superchain tax or seven-day delays - Native Agglayer interoperability - Performance: 60-100+ Mgas/s (~4,700+ peak TPS) Two implementation options available: - cdk-opgeth by @conduitxyz: ZK-powered OP Stack - cdk-erigon by @gateway_eth: 90% reduced storage, custom gas tokens Future updates will include SP1 zkVM execution proofs with Polygon Plonky3 for faster finality.
