In simple terms, gaming commerce company Xsolla unveils its plans to debut Xsolla ZK, a new platform utilizing ZKsync technology, along with a digital inventory system for virtual goods on the blockchain. The aim of Xsolla ZK is to foster ongoing growth and broaden the reach of Web3 technologies within the gaming industry by creating more blockchain-based solutions.

Xsolla ZK will join Elastic Chain’s ecosystem, a growing network of interconnected chains supported by Zksync, an Ethereum Layer 2 zero-knowledge roll-up solution. The integration of Xsolla ZK also brings its ‘digital backpack’ feature for game developers, creators of in-game items, and providers of gaming infrastructure. With two decades of experience in the gaming industry, Xsolla has a proven track record, having monetized over 2,500 games and partnered with more than 1,000 developers and publishers who leverage its technology for their game development.

Lee Jacobson, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Web3’s Xsolla division, showed great excitement for the project: “Xsolla ZK uses Ethereum Layer 2 zk Rollup technology to develop a ‘digital backpack’ for game creators. By utilizing our knowledge on the ZKsync Elastic Chain, we offer game developers an innovative and scalable solution that syncs with the economic models they are accustomed to. Xsolla ZK isn’t just about being cutting-edge; it’s about generating genuine value for the gaming community.

Xsolla is set to blend its proficiency in in-game transactions with the advanced blockchain technology from ZKsync. Rich Kim, who leads the Gaming division at Matter Labs, expressed excitement about Xsolla’s innovative Web3 gaming projects. He emphasized that for gaming ecosystems to flourish, it is essential to bridge the gap for both developers and users. Developers require robust, ready-to-use infrastructure to introduce advanced features while managing the performance needs of mass-usage games. At the same time, users need user-friendly and convenient in-game features and payment options that can be utilized across a diverse range of games within the Web3 ecosystem. Xsolla ZK is paving the way for gaming to smoothly adapt and prosper in the Web3 environment.
