Immutable X gives GameStop Wallet users early access
Immutable X, the layer 2 Ethereum protocol has made the Gamestop wallet available on their gasless protocol. Through this new partnership, users will get early access to Gamestop wallet users on Immutable X L2. Specifically, it will be integrated into the Immutable X Link infrastructure, making the wallet natively compatible across the entire protocol.
Immutable X and Gamestop Wallet
With the integration of the Gamestop Wallet, any marketplace on Immutable X, or other partners, that supports the Link infrastructure will offer the Gamestop Wallet as an option to connect and shop. The protocol said on its website that most of the marketplaces and their partners support Link, but users can confirm by checking if the GameStop wallet appears in the menu’s wallet section when connecting.
GameStop is working hard to integrate Immutable X directly into their wallet extension. For now, users have full functionality on Immutable X, with a slightly different user flow for Immutable X actions. The company has confirmed that a fully integrated wallet will be released soon, but until then they can offer GameStop users access to the entire Immutable X ecosystem.
What is immutable X?
To clarify, Immutable X is the leading Layer 2 NFTs fully secured by Ethereum. They call themselves the only gas-free coin platform, with 30,000,000 NFTs minted this year and $0 in gas. What’s more, they are 100% carbon neutral, with 2,400,000,000 kWh of energy saved this year.
They allow their customers including Gamestop, Rarible, Marvel, Disney, VeeFriends and more to scale at speed. Their NFTs, once listed with Immutable X, can be immediately distributed to multiple marketplaces that they own.
GaryVee supported Immutable X when he launched his board games for VeeFriends. It made sense to him. With hundreds of transactions expected all day, every day, it only made sense for him to choose a solution that would mean he and his fans wouldn’t pay gas fees for every transaction completed. It maximized his profits as well as the profits of those who “quick flipped” his NFTs.
GameStop in NFTs
GameStop recently launched an NFT marketplace through Immutable X, the Ethereum layer-2 platform. They have done this to allow users to own, buy and sell digital assets without paying gas fees, which you see on Ethereum’s main blockchain.
In addition to this, the American gaming company announced a fund of 100 million dollars for game developers in web3 to improve this space as a whole.
Finally, they are now launching their very own NFT wallet, to compete with the likes of MetaMask. It is a self-custodial Ethereum wallet that gives users full control over their assets. Their catchphrase: “power to the players”, was shared by Immutable X in the campaign for their collaboration.
