The company plans to "drive the continuous growth and expansion of Web3 technologies."
Xsolla has unveiled its plans to launch Xsolla ZK and introduce a blockchain-based digital backpack for virtual items. Powered by ZKsync technology, Xsolla ZK aims to drive the growth and expansion of Web3 technologies, helping to develop blockchain solutions for the video game industry.
As part of this initiative, Xsolla ZK will join the Elastic Chain ecosystem, a network of interconnected chains powered by ZKsync, an Ethereum Layer 2 zero-knowledge roll-up technology. Xsolla ZK will also introduce its "digital backpack" for game developers, item creators, and gaming infrastructure providers to store and manage in-game items.
"Xsolla ZK leverages Ethereum Layer 2 zk Rollup technology to create a digital backpack for game developers," commented Lee Jacobson, Senior Vice President of Business Development Web3 at Xsolla. "By deploying our expertise on the ZKsync Elastic Chain, we provide game developers with a scalable and pioneering solution aligning with the economic models with which they are familiar. Xsolla ZK is not just about innovation; it's about creating real value for the gaming community."
"We are thrilled to see companies like Xsolla launch pioneering projects for Web3 gaming," added Rich Kim, Head of Gaming at Matter Labs. "For gaming ecosystems to thrive, it’s critical to close the gap for both users and builders; builders need proven, plug-and-play infrastructure to launch rich features while handling the performance required by mass usage games. Additionally, users need easy-to-use and convenient in-game features and payment options that can be leveraged across a broad ecosystem of games. Xsolla ZK is carving a path for gaming to transition and thrive in Web3."
