Wagyu Games x ImmutableX Partnership
Wagyu Games has announced a strategic partnership with ImmutableX, the industry leading L2 scaling solution on the Ethereum blockchain.
“As Wagyu Games continues to empower FPS gamers to truly own their weapon and character skins for the first time in their lives, so shall we scale with Immutable, the world’s premier gasless, ZK-Rollup solution. Immutable’s focus on entertainment value above all aligns closely with our strategic vision of being the premier Web3 FPS gaming studio for PC, Mac and mobile gamers” said Grant Haseley, Executive Director of Wagyu Games.
The largest point of frustration for NFT holders on the Ethereum blockchain is the gas fee that must be paid for every transaction. L2 scaling solutions perform transaction operations off the main Ethereum blockchain but still post the transaction data onto layer 1. ZK-rollups ensure the integrity of the blockchain, but remove those pesky gas fees and allows developers to scale transactions.
Why IMX over other L2 scaling solutions?
The choice was simple. After discussions with other L2 platforms, it was apparent that IMX prioritized gameplay above all else. This was crucial for them. Joining the ranks of Illuvium, Guild of Guardians, and Gods Unchained, Wagyu Games looks forward to expanding their relationship with IMX and other games within their ecosystem to form a strategic alliance of gamer empowerment.
Additionally, the IMX wallet UX is built for gamers, with integrated credit card payment and a carbon neutral solution built to scale.
Having access to the IMX global order book instantly propels our Weapon and Skin NFTs to every marketplace in their network.
Their Weapon and Skin NFTs will be featured on the GameStop NFT marketplace.
Using IMX’s ZK-rollup technology, Wagyu Games will be able to mint millions of Skin NFTs for free as they continue to develop Undead Blocks, Undead Mobile, and subsequent titles under the Wagyu umbrella.
What does this mean for my Weapon Loadout NFT?
Undead Blocks Weapon Loadout NFTs are your pass to accelerated earning within the Wagyu Games Universe. All Weapon Loadout NFTs will also be cross compatible with Undead Mobile and subsequent Wagyu Games titles.
Only 6,000 Weapon Loadout NFTs will be minted within the Undead Blocks metaverse. This decision has been made with the Weapon NFT holders interests at heart — as they continue to scale and play to earn ecosystems transform, it is important to not dilute the supply of these NFTs.
Weapon Loadout NFT holders will have access to their own game mode (to be announced!) within Undead Blocks where they will be able to earn every single day. By keeping the distribution supply of Gold ZBUX fixed, there will be no hyperinflation in our ecosystem, allowing players to come in, have fun, and earn small amounts for the sweat equity that they put into their titles. They will also be able to lend their Weapon NFT to a friend to play on their behalf and earn!
As Wagyu drives revenue, they reserve the right to increase Gold ZBUX distribution to both Weapon NFT holders and free to play players as potential mass adoption events.
Weapon Skin NFTs
Weapon Skin NFTs will allow for players to rep their clout and buy & sell within the Wagyu Games ecosystem. Once their integration with Immutable is complete, this will be a completely gasless experience. Skin NFTs can be earned through opening a Loot Coffin (details below) or completing challenges and quests. Exclusive tournament Skin NFTs will also be dangled as prizes as Wagyu leans heavily into our crypto esports model.
A Skin NFT is not a Weapon Loadout NFT, it is purely cosmetic. Skins are perfect to wear during free to play. And also tournaments that are fully sponsored or to flex on your friends in Multiplayer!
Character Skin NFTs — Yes, they are coming! Character skins will be extremely rare in the Undead Blocks market. Similar to Weapon Skin NFTs, they are individually earned, used, traded and sold. They also are found in Loot Coffins and can be used by any player.
Loot Coffins are coming to the Undead Blocks universe! Loot Coffins can be earned by exchanging ZBUX earned by any player in any Undead Blocks game mode. They can also be purchased with $UNDEAD, Gold ZBUX earned from tournaments or daily earning, or fiat.
Purchases made in $UNDEAD will result in token burn, creating a deflationary model for their governance token. All subsequent games within the Wagyu Universe will also have a similar established protocol. $UNDEAD will also be the utility token of record for all of their FPS games.
Loot Coffins can contain any NFT that exists within the Wagyu ecosystem. Items will range from common skins, rare skins like the Puncher F1, or in extremely rare cases, a Weapon Loadout or Character NFT!
Incentivizing players to play for free and potentially yield assets. That are able to be sold on secondary markets for tangible value was a priority for them. With Web2 gamers able to now sign up with just an email and password and earn through daily free to play as well as sponsored tournaments, the barrier to entry for the average gamer to enter the Wagyu universe has never been lower.
Does IMX integration affect the timeline for the full Undead Blocks experience?
As they move to integrate IMX’s L2 solution, this will slightly impact the launch of the full Undead Blocks experience, pushing us into Q4. Multiplayer testing is currently underway. And they look forward to granting their Weapon NFT holders early access to their testing protocol.
However, Undead Blocks beta tournaments will continue throughout the fall. Additional sponsored tournaments will be revealed to the public soon!
