Immutable (IMX)'s integration with Fireblocks will enhance digital asset management for games, builders, and DeFi projects, offering global access to Immutable zkEVM.
Immutable (IMX), a leading Web3 gaming platform, has announced a strategic integration with Fireblocks, an enterprise platform designed to manage digital asset operations and foster innovation on blockchain. This collaboration is set to revolutionize treasury management for games, builders, DeFi projects, and ecosystem partners on Immutable zkEVM, according to Immutable.
Enhanced Digital Asset Management
Through this integration, game developers can now leverage Fireblocks' platform to securely store and manage digital assets associated with game economies, NFT projects, and DeFi protocols. This will significantly enhance oversight of holdings on Immutable’s zkEVM chain, which is powered by Polygon.
The union promises a new era of scalability and security for self-custodial digital asset management within the Immutable ecosystem. The Fireblocks platform, coupled with Fireblocks Network, the industry’s largest digital asset network, will provide direct connectivity to thousands of institutional counterparties, including liquidity providers, lending desks, banks, and market makers.
Industry-Leading Security
Robbie Ferguson, Co-Founder and President of Immutable, emphasized the benefits, stating, “This integration provides a robust and secure choice to the 320+ game developers and 80+ ecosystem partners signed to Immutable. Fireblocks’ infrastructure can support game developers to manage the digital assets involved in gaming and NFT transactions, scale with the exponential growth of transactions on Immutable’s platform, and ensure smooth operations within the Web3 gaming and DeFi landscape.”
Fireblocks' top-tier security solutions will safeguard Immutable's digital assets, fostering trust and confidence among users and partners. This move underscores Immutable's commitment to providing a secure environment for all its stakeholders.
Global Availability
Omer Amsel, Head of Web3 at Fireblocks, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, “We are excited to announce our integration with Immutable to bring Fireblocks’ secure digital asset infrastructure to the Immutable zkEVM ecosystem. Immutable and Fireblocks are enabling a new era of security, scalability, and efficiency for managing digital assets to drive the growth of the Web3 gaming and DeFi industries.”
