Beam has partnered with Immutable and Polygon Labs to embrace a multi-chain approach, aiming to create a seamless experience for game developers and attract the next generation of gamers, with a target of onboarding over a billion gamers. The partnership leverages Immutable zkEVM and the Polygon ecosystem as a starting point for progress.

The proposed Sphere marketplace aims to foster innovation and demonstrate the applicability of blockchain technology and the Web3 concept.

With this integration, Beam aims to become a preferred destination for game developers, offering high-quality user-facing products. The ecosystem has selected Sphere for its ability to provide instant settlements and near-zero fees.

Gaming holds significant dominance over other industries such as movies, music, and TV, particularly due to features enabling gamers to trade in-game assets and a sense of ownership. Robbie Ferguson, President and Co-Founder of Immutable, believes in the potential of gaming and sees collaboration as key to enhancing the gaming experience. Merit Circle DAO's adoption of the platform is seen as a significant step in this direction.

Polygon Labs CEO, Marc Boiron, is pleased with Merit's utilization of Immutable zkEVM and looks forward to working towards a unified goal, emphasizing convenience for gamers adopting blockchain technology.

Sphere serves as a crucial component of the partnership, alongside account abstraction and a companion application. Account abstraction eliminates difficulties associated with transitioning between games, facilitated by the Immutable Passport function. Merit Circle aims to demonstrate accountability, transparency, and sustainability through this partnership, positioning it as a significant step for DAO credibility and ecosystem growth.

Moving forward, Sphere is set to become a native marketplace for games built on the Beam network and Immutable zkEVM, providing gamers access to their preferred titles' stats, including ownership and progress updates.
