Big day for @0xPolygon!

@Immutable, one of the Top 2 players in gaming along with Polygon ecosystem, is joining forces with Polygon to create the Web3 gaming juggernaut

What does it mean for Polygon's adoption & the use of $MATIC to secure, decentralise & govern Polygon chains?

So, IMX is considered one of the Top 2 Gaming ecosystems alongside @0xPolygon. Let's look at the below exhibit once.
Last year there was roughly $2-3 bn in funding in AA/AAA games.Polygon and Immutable combined had nearly $2B USD, or nearly half of all web3 gaming funding.😇

Now imagine when IMX builds exclusively on Polygon to create a massive ecosystem living entirely on @0xPolygon

Some of the largest of the largest gaming studios are building on @Immutable. They all will end up using @0xPolygon (MATIC) validators run & secured chains.

3/n

How will MATIC secure and decentralize all @0xPolygon chains in future?

There are only two utilities of a proof of stake token like MATIC.

Its the staking to secure, decentralize and govern the L2/L3 chains and the transaction fees earned by the validators and delegators.

4/n

All Supernets (app specific, ecosystem specific) will have MATIC staking resulting in gas fees going to Stakers and delegators on top of staking yield.

Also many L3s will settle to Polygon #zkEVMs resulting in larger transaction fees to Polygon stakers.

5/n

We have 100+ large scale app chains building on Polygon already. Imagine these chains start generating 100s of millions in gas fees, that becomes the yield for the MATIC stakers and delegators, which further increases network's economic security.

6/n

Back to Immutable. Gaming is going to be the largest txn generator in Web3.

Immutable zkEVM chain, even though it is starting as a single operator chain,it will migrate into a Polygon staked multi-validator chain where the stakers and delegators will earn the txn fees.

7/n

Not only this, Immutable is going to enable multiple big studios to launch their own app-specific chains, which will all be MATIC-staked, and gas fees from all such chains will go to MATIC stakers.

$IMX will also be able to use their token as the native gas token.

8/n

This is a huge for Web3 gaming industry. As Immutable #zkEVM platform provides EVM smart contracts to their games, their already huge gaming ecosystem will get a massive boost, which since will be using @0xPolygon infrastructure, will bring huge txn fees to Polygon stakers

9/n

IMX and Polygon ecosystems have been the leading ecosystems in the Web3 gaming sector.

I always used to joke that it is like an Unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

What happens when such forces join hands?

Well, we'll find out in the coming months 🔥🚀!
