SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / November 5, 2021 / Ember Sword , the soon-to-be-released MMORPG will be migrating from Polygon to Immutable X to meet their massive NFT scaling needs. By the end of the year, Immutable X protocol will power 48,000 Ember Sword NFTs with gas-free and 100% carbon-neutral trading and minting on the STARK-based zero knowledge rollup.
Ember Sword, a Bright Star Studios project, had initially been built on Polygon. However, deeper market research revealed that, given the rapidly mounting requirements on scalability and the desire to tie into the Ethereum ecosystem more tightly, Immutable X was identified as the leading solution to cater to Bright Star Studios' needs. Immutable X is Ethereum's leading Layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs, built on StarkWare 's industry-defining zero-knowledge proof technology. The protocol enables Ember Sword to enjoy instant trade confirmation, 9,000 transactions per second, and zero gas fees - while ensuring its users' assets remain in a decentralized ecosystem and are secured with Ethereum's battle-tested security. Within the next few months, both Ember Sword and Immutable X will be working closely to finalize a seamless migration from Polygon.
Ember Sword has already seen over 35,000 gamers pledging more than $203 million to purchase virtual lands in Ember Sword's fantastic world. In the game, owning land enables users to play as landlords and earn collectibles NFTs and Ember, the game's ERC-20 native tokens. Ember Sword is committed to developing a new model for MMO games, where gamers can build a community and where in-game economic activities are rewarded with valuable assets, such as personalized tradable NFTs.
"Ember Sword is doing everything right. There's a reason they have nine figures in committed land sales - they're obsessed with making a sustainable, player-driven economy, ensuring long-term scale, and the highest level of asset security," said Robbie Ferguson, co-founder at Immutable. "We're thrilled to work with them in meeting the scaling demands of millions of players, in what will be a landmark MMORPG."
"As we continue to build our on-chain presence through the sale of NFTs, and the launch of our Alpha next year, it is vital to ensure that we are backed by an extremely scalable layer 2 solution," says Loren Roosendaal, Founder & Executive Producer at Bright Star Studios. "By partnering with Immutable and StarkWare, we will be able to deliver a better in-game experience while offering the strong security guarantees that zk rollups provide."
