Xsolla to Gear Up Its Own ZK Chain to Interconnect & Enhance Web3 Gaming

Video game commerce company Xsolla is launching its own zero-knowledge (ZK) chain, Xsolla ZK, to form a network of gaming solutions on-chain.

The blockchain will run on ZKsync’s Elastic Chain, an Ethereum Layer-2 solution that interconnects blockchain networks.

Although Elastic Chain functions like a multichain, it echoes the simplicity of a single blockchain because it facilitates secure, scalable, and efficient transactions—each of which will help Xsolla’s cluster of gaming titans easily transact and interact with one another.

“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,” commented Lee Jacobson, Xsolla’s VP of Web3 business development.

Game developers and item engineers (like NFT creators) will soon be able to manage and store their virtual goods seamlessly on Xsolla ZK via a ‘digital backpack’.
