XSOLLA Advances Web3 Adoption For Video Games With XSOLLA ZK Launch

Global video game commerce business Xsolla has announced intentions to develop Xsolla ZK, a digital backpack containing blockchain-based virtual goods. With the help of ZKsync technology, Xsolla ZK will propel Web3 technologies’ ongoing development and expansion and advance blockchain-based video game industry solutions.

Using Zksync, an Ethereum Layer 2 zero-knowledge roll-up technology, Xsolla ZK will join the Elastic Chain ecosystem, a growing network of interconnected chains. Xsolla ZK will also launch its “digital backpack” for item developers, game developers, and gaming infrastructure providers to manage and store in-game things. With over 2,500 games made with its products, two decades of experience, and more than 1,000 developers and publishers using its technology for their games, Xsolla has succeeded in the gaming industry.

Lee Jacobson, Senior Vice President of Business Development Web3 at Xsolla, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “Xsolla ZK leverages Ethereum Layer 2 zk Rollup technology to create a digital backpack for game developers. 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.”

Xsolla will combine its expertise in in-game commerce with ZKsync’s cutting-edge blockchain technology. Rich Kim, Head of Gaming at Matter Labs, said, “We are thrilled to see companies like Xsolla launch pioneering projects for Web3 gaming. 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.”
