What’s new? GameStop, a US console and games retailer, plans to launch its NFT marketplace. The platform will be based on startup Immutable’s Ethereum layer 2 solution. It will be possible to buy and sell various in-game assets on the platform. This is stated in a Twitter post by Immutable.

What is known about the companies’ cooperation? As CoinDesk notes, GameStop chose Immutable’s solution because it gives it the ability to issue NFTs in a carbon-neutral environment. The solution protocol provides the “zero gas” P2P transactions and also allows the processing of more than 9000 transactions per second.

GameStop and Immutable will also create a fund that will invest up to $100 million using Immutable’s cryptocurrency called IMX. The funds will be distributed to NFT developers that can be used in games.
