Immutable
(IMX)
zkEVM
Mainnet
Early
Access
has
been
live
since
late
January,
and
the
momentum
has
been
astounding,
with
over
130
of
the
330+
well-funded
games
building
on
Immutable
committed
to
developing
on
Immutable
zkEVM,
according
to

Why
ERC-1155
on
Immutable
zkEVM
is
a
Gamechanger
ERC-1155
is
a
versatile
token
standard
that
allows
for
the
creation
of
both
fungible
and
non-fungible
tokens
within
a
single
smart
contract.
This
opens
up
a
world
of
possibilities
for
game
developers
to
create
diverse
and
engaging
in-game
assets
on
Immutable
zkEVM,
from
characters
and
weapons
to
resources
and
consumables.
The
benefits
of
ERC-1155
for
web3
game
development
are
clear:
-
Flexibility:
Developers
can
create
a
wide
range
of
asset
types
in
a
single
contract,
simplifying
management
and
enabling
dynamic
gameplay.
This
is
a
major
upgrade
from
ERC-20
tokens,
which
are
homogeneous
within
a
contract. -
Efficiency:
Batch
minting
and
transfers
reduce
gas
costs,
making
it
more
economical
to
create
and
distribute
assets
at
scale.
This
is
especially
valuable
for
games
with
high
volumes
of
in-game
items. -
Versatility:
ERC-1155
is
perfect
for
in-game
resources
and
consumables
that
players
collect
in
large
quantities,
complementing
the
unique
ERC-721
assets.
This
allows
for
a
more
diverse
and
engaging
gaming
experience. -
Simplified
Management:
By
consolidating
game
assets
into
a
single
ERC-1155
contract,
developers
can
streamline
the
game’s
backend,
making
it
easier
to
manage
and
update
in-game
items.
The
ERC-1155
Minting
API
on
Immutable
zkEVM
Immutable
has
made
it
straightforward
to
mint
ERC-1155
tokens
on
Immutable
zkEVM
with
its
enhanced
Minting
API,
which
now
supports
both
ERC-721
and
ERC-1155.
The
API
offers
several
key
features:
-
Easy
Minting:
Whether
creating
a
single
unique
item
or
a
batch
of
common
resources,
the
API
supports
minting
ERC-1155
tokens
individually
or
in
batches. -
Simple
Tracking:
Developers
can
filter
and
check
the
status
of
minting
requests,
making
it
easy
to
manage
large-scale
asset
creation. -
Customizable
Metadata:
Add
rich
details
to
tokens
during
creation,
giving
each
asset
type
unique
characteristics
and
properties. -
Efficient
Quantity
Management:
Mint
up
to
100
different
token
types
or
player
wallets
in
a
single
request,
facilitating
the
distribution
of
assets. -
Familiar
Interface:
Designed
to
be
accessible
to
a
wide
range
of
developers,
including
those
from
a
web2
gaming
background.
ERC-1155
assets
will
appear
similar
to
ERC-721
assets
in
the
Blockchain
Data
API
but
will
be
labeled
as
ERC-1155.
No
new
endpoints
are
required
to
support
ERC-1155.
Additionally,
the
Orderbook
has
been
adapted
to
support
ERC-1155
with
partial
fills,
enhancing
the
trading
experience
for
players.
