In a significant move towards enhancing the transaction infrastructure for Web3 gaming, Immutable, the Web3 gaming company renowned for its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM), has announced the integration of Transak as its exclusive payment service provider. This strategic partnership will enable gaming ecosystems to seamlessly accept both fiat and Web3-based payments directly through Transak’s services.
Immutable’s Advanced Transaction Tools
Immutable’s cutting-edge tools, namely Immutable Checkout and Immutable Passport, will now incorporate Transak’s services. The former, serving as a customizable interface for game producers, allows the integration of multiple payment alternatives. Immutable Checkout stands as the comprehensive transaction infrastructure for games, facilitating a seamless payment experience.
According to Harshit Gangwar, Director of Marketing at Transak, users will be able to utilize fiat payments such as credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Transak’s on-ramp, off-ramp, and NFT payment service. This payment rail is poised to revolutionize in-game transactions for digital assets. Gangwar predicts that these products will see adoption across hundreds of high-quality games in the coming years, with the majority scheduled to go live in 2024.
Key Web3 Games to Pioneer Transak Integration
Three of Immutable’s flagship Web3 games, Guild of Guardians, Gods Unchained, and Cross The Ages, are set to be the first beneficiaries of Transak’s integration, as confirmed by Michael Powell, Director of Product Marketing at Immutable. This collaboration is expected to further solidify the position of these popular games in the Web3 gaming landscape.

by Animoca Brands, a prominent Web3 gaming venture capital company, Transak’s payment service has proven its longevity in the industry.
Harshit Gangwar emphasizes the global reach of Transak, citing that users in 160 different countries have access to over 20 different payment options. Notably, the pricing structure varies based on the country and the chosen mode of payment.
