The Web3 gaming landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and at the heart of this transformation lies a powerful new collaboration. Today, we’re proud to announce our strategic partnership with Immutable, the leading Web3 gaming platform, to launch a dedicated GameFi NFT launchpad and deepen ecosystem integration across key infrastructure layers.
This partnership is designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge blockchain technology and mainstream gaming adoption. By combining OKX’s robust Web3 ecosystem—including the OKX NFT Marketplace and OKX Wallet—with Immutable’s gaming-optimized zkEVM chain, we’re creating a seamless gateway for millions of users to explore, own, and trade in-game digital assets.
Powering the Future of Web3 Gaming
At the core of this collaboration are several major integrations that will redefine how players and developers interact with blockchain-based games:
- Launch of a dedicated GameFi NFT launchpad on the OKX NFT Marketplace in partnership with Immutable
- Full integration of the Immutable zkEVM chain—a high-performance, gaming-focused Layer 2 powered by Polygon—into OKX Marketplace and OKX Wallet
- Integration of the OKX Web3 Wallet into Immutable’s Passport, a non-custodial player identity solution that simplifies onboarding
- Inclusion of the OKX NFT Marketplace in Immutable’s Orderbook and Marketplace Network for enhanced liquidity and discoverability
- Native support for the Immutable zkEVM chain across the OKX ecosystem
These technical synergies are more than just infrastructure upgrades—they represent a shared vision: to make digital ownership accessible to every gamer worldwide.

A Shared Vision for Mass Adoption
Robbie Ferguson, Co-founder and President of Immutable, emphasized the strategic alignment:
"Collaborating with OKX aligns with our mission to bring digital proprietorship to every gamer in the world. OKX's robust ecosystem and cutting-edge technology combined with Immutable's Web3 gaming expertise allows us to open new gaming experiences for millions of players worldwide."
With over 270 games currently in development on Immutable’s zkEVM chain, including highly anticipated titles like Guild of Guardians, Shardbound, and Metalcore, the demand for accessible, secure, and scalable infrastructure has never been greater. Through this partnership, game studios gain direct access to OKX’s global user base and educational resources like Cryptopedia, empowering them to onboard new players with confidence.
Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer at OKX, added:
"Web3 gaming is on the verge of becoming mainstream, and at OKX, we are committed to making our wallet and marketplace the best way to access these next generation of games and their items. With over 270 titles in development on Immutable's zkEVM chain, OKX wallet users will enjoy a smooth onboarding process, gameplay, and management of their in-game assets. We can’t wait to discover the new game experiences that our partnership will bring."
Explosive Growth in Web3 Gaming
The momentum behind Web3 gaming is undeniable. Immutable reported a staggering 900% year-over-year increase in signed games during Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023. In just the past three months, the platform has onboarded over 75 new games, pushing its total development pipeline past 270 titles.
This growth mirrors broader industry trends. According to a late 2023 report by Messari, Immutable already commands a 70% market share in blockchain gaming—a testament to its developer-friendly tools, low-cost transactions, and strong community support.
Such figures underscore a critical truth: gamers are ready for true ownership of their digital items. They want interoperable assets, transparent economies, and the ability to earn value through play. This partnership positions both OKX and Immutable at the forefront of fulfilling that demand.
Seamless Onboarding with Passport & Cryptopedia
One of the biggest barriers to Web3 adoption has been complexity. New users often face steep learning curves when managing wallets, private keys, and gas fees. To tackle this, OKX has integrated its Web3 Wallet into Immutable Passport, a secure, non-custodial identity solution that streamlines sign-in and reduces friction for first-time players.
Additionally, developers building on Immutable can now leverage Cryptopedia, OKX’s comprehensive educational hub, to help educate their communities about NFTs, blockchain mechanics, and safe digital asset management—fostering trust and long-term engagement.

What’s Next? The Launchpad is Coming
The upcoming GameFi NFT launchpad on OKX will serve as a premier destination for players and collectors to discover and acquire exclusive in-game assets from top-tier Web3 games launching on Immutable zkEVM. With curated drops, early access opportunities, and deep liquidity integration, the launchpad aims to become the go-to platform for high-quality GameFi projects.
This initiative arrives at a pivotal moment. As more AAA studios explore blockchain integration and traditional gamers become curious about earning through play-to-earn models, infrastructure like this ensures that innovation meets accessibility.
