The Gods Unchained migration from Immutable X to Immutable zkEVM is imminent, following Immutable’s recent announcement. The gaming platform revealed plans to merge its original Ethereum Layer-2 solution, Immutable X, into its newer and more advanced chain, Immutable zkEVM.
Why Immutable zkEVM?
Launched in early 2024, Immutable zkEVM has already processed nearly 150 million transactions. The unified chain, expected to fully launch by late 2025, will support EVM compatibility, DeFi upgrades, and automatic migrations, impacting over 440 on-chain games. Guild of Guardian initiated the first migration from Immutable X to Immutable zkEVM late last year.
Gods Unchained Migration: Advantages and Key Improvements
This Gods Unchained migration to Immutable zkEVM would ensure scalability and unlock insane smart contract capabilities, pushing the game to the forefront of the expansive web3 gaming ecosystem. This migration also fosters interoperability and improves players’ experiences. Gods Unchained will improve its crafting experiences, integrate the Immutable passport, and create a more diverse economy on the new chain.
The game will move its funds to the Immutable zkEVM via bridges (Squid and Layerswap) and fiat on-ramps (Transak), aiming to ensure player interactions, improve accessibility, and expand the in-game economy. The team promises to keep players updated with the timelines for the move and guidelines to ensure a smooth migration.
Finally, Gods Unchained’s migration to Immutable zkEVM will eliminate the community’s dependence on third-party asset renting solutions, utilizing the new chain’s smart contracts to enable in-game asset renting soon. The team will also deploy some improvements to the in-game marketplace and store after the migration.
