Immutable removes ‘gas’ fees from Web3 player experience with zkEVM blockchain
Immutable, a maker of blockchain games and a blockchain platform, has announced a game-changing development with its Immutable zkEVM blockchain, eliminating gas fees for gamers engaged in blockchain-based game transactions.
The company said this shift revolutionizes the player experience, ensuring a seamless and cost-free gaming environment.
