- Immutable has partnered with tactical FPS game SOL451 to provide Web3 support.
- Immutable’s Layer 2 provides transactions with near-zero in-game NFT minting fees.
- Players earn $RELIC tokens to create and trade their own custom NFT weapons.
Immutable has entered into a strategic partnership with SOL451a tactical first-person shooter that integrates proprietary Web3 features and competitive gameplay. This collaboration combines SOL451’s extensive customization options and NFT-gated competition modes with Immutable’s Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure to enable low-cost, high-throughput transactions for competitive gaming and NFT minting.
SOL451 delivers Fast-paced multiplayer FPS gameplay with deep tactical elements. Players can choose from six basic weapon types and create over 1,000 combinations of features that can be minted as NFTs.
The game implements a hybrid accessibility model in which free modes (Team Deathmatch, Free For All, Capture the Flag, Domination, Zero Hour) remain free, and Competitive modes such as Ranked Competitive and Zero Hour Competitive typically require ownership of an NFT for entry.
The game’s economy revolves around $RELIC tokenswhich players earn through ranked wins. These tokens can be spent to mint custom weapons or claim rewards. SOL451 also has “Black Market Jobs” – NFT contracts that reward players with exclusive items for completing specific goals.
Infrastructure and strategic vision
Immutable’s zkEVM Layer-2 technology is the foundation of this partnership, it is said to be capable of processing up to 9,000 transactions per second with almost zero gas fees. This infrastructure enables instant coin minting, purchases, and tournament entries without the typical friction of blockchain transactions.
Immutable plans to consolidate Immutable X into one Immutable zkEVM by the end of 2025, creating a unified chain for the gaming ecosystem.
The collaboration is part of Immutable’s broader strategy to bring Web3 gaming to the mainstream, supported by its $500 million Developer and Venture Fund. Tools like Immutable Play and Immutable Passport are designed to hide the complexity of the blockchain behind player-friendly interfacesmaking the Web3 experience more accessible.
For traders and treasury managers, SOL451 offers opportunities through token flows, secondary market NFTs, and tournament-driven liquidity. The NFT gating model concentrates value within competitive ladders, potentially supporting continued demand for minted assets and $RELIC tokens if player retention remains powerful.
This partnership combines sophisticated, NFT-centric FPS economics with high-performance Layer 2 technology designed to eliminate gas friction, and the next major milestone is Immutable’s planned migration to a unified zkEVM in delayed 2025.
