As we observe the current trends in the crypto and gaming markets, it has become increasingly evident that new users are predominantly engaging with Solana, rather than Immutable X (IMX). This shift in user behavior highlights an important consideration for the future of our game and its integration with blockchain technologies.

Given the growing adoption of Solana within the space, I propose that we either:

Make our game multi-blockchain: By supporting both IMX and Solana, we can capture a broader user base, allowing flexibility for players who are already active within the Solana ecosystem.
Transition entirely to Solana: With Solana's strong momentum and growing user engagement, moving entirely to Solana could simplify development, enhance scalability, and position us at the forefront of blockchain gaming on a highly popular platform.
This decision will be crucial in ensuring that we remain competitive, adaptable, and aligned with the needs of our target audience. We recommend further exploration of these options and a detailed analysis of the impact on our infrastructure, user experience, and overall market presence.

We do have to migrate from immutable x.
there are multiple options:

  • zkEVM IMX (polygon)
  • Avax
  • Base
  • Ronin

i disagree to move to solana. solana is for memecoins

Could be like splinterlands you can transfer assets to multiple chains

Why moving away from Immutable X?

Besides the current lack of hype it appears that IMX isn't able to handle enough transactions per second for Illuvium so basically the tech isn't keeping up with our demand (correct me if I'm wrong)

So we should choose another blockchain that is able to handle Illuvium but not only, I see 3 variables to take into account:

  • Tech
  • User experience
  • Popularity

I assume that @wise fox's suggestion meet Illuvium's tech need but I don't think that we should rule out Solana so we should choose between:

  • Ronin
  • Base
  • Avax
  • Solana
  • zkEVM IMX (polygon)

As far as I know Solana has a good user experience and is highly popular, people like @true terrace say that Solana is for memecoins but they have Web3 games as well and I don't think that Web2 gamers know or care about Solana's relation with memecoins and Web3 gamers would probably not care either as long as they make money, they also probably already have a Phantom wallet

However maybe Solana wouldn't the best if we want to attract Web3 investors instead of gamers who will think that "Solana is for memecoins" but I'm not 100% sure about that either

The choice isn't obvious to me, even Ronin that has a big player base has downsides like being too controlling towards projects that join them

I wouldn´t be able to name a single sol game or anything else people I know use sol for outside of meme-coin trading 😅
obv my pov/exp, I mainly associate with people playing games or trading though, don´t know anyone bullish on anything on sol or at least they didn´t ever bring it up to me.
Eth, Abstract, Avax, Base would be my circle of "gamers".

I wonder if the assumption that people have a phantom wallet is true as well, I don´t outside of my wayfinder acc.

Immutable zkEVM is the way. you already have your Passport. everyone know by now how it works.
And its much easier than on IMX.
Immutable is for Gaming only. no meme no gambling, no PFP nfts.
With more and more Games coming out in the next month, more people will come.
The Tech of Immutable zkEVM is one of the best if not the best for gaming.
If the Game is good. people will play it. no matter the chain.
