The launch on Arbitrum will allow ZTX to develop its 3D open-world ecosystem. ZTX is building a virtual world where users can socialize, play games, and participate in governance and economics when creating and selling digital assets.
In the coming weeks, the first beta of the app will go live, granting users access to a test environment where they can explore and decorate their land and virtual homes with furniture-like items. According to a press release shared with Metaverse Post, further gameplay features such as harvesting, material ownership, trading, and crafting will be added in subsequent playable tests.
This new integration is part of ZTX’s multi-chain strategy, which involves partnering with reputable projects to reach a broader global audience. Earlier in March, ZTX debuted its Avatar Builder Beta where users can create digital identities to use within ZTX, as well as forging partnerships with top-tier brands to incorporate their exclusive wearables collections into the platform’s offerings.
“We are very excited to launch ZTX on Arbitrum. ZTX’s vision is building an on-chain 3D open world that is accessible to all, and as such, it was imperative to build on a blockchain that is scalable and robust. Specifically, Arbitrum’s EVM compatibility, high throughput, and near-instant transaction finality made it the most compelling protocol for us, and we are looking forward to building the ZTX ecosystem alongside other great builders and users in the Arbitrum community,”
Chris Jang, Co-CEO of ZTX, said in a statement shared with Metaverse Post.
Jang added that virtual land on ZTX will be offered for free to enable universal accessibility and the partnership with Arbitrum will help the platform deliver these capabilities.
Steven Goldfeder, CEO and Co-founder of Arbitrum’s parent company Offchain Labs echoed these sentiments by saying: “ZTX is redefining what it means to build an immersive and real-value-generating 3D open-world. Arbitrum’s innovative technology is designed for precisely these types of use cases – bridging tech gaps, opening new opportunities, and delivering fast, performant, and robust capabilities to blockchain projects across the board.”
Following the playtest, ZTX will be conducting its Genesis Home Mint, which comprises a collection of 4,000 bespoke 3D District Homes equipped with benefits such as governance and special access to future drops, events, and games. The District Homes will be immersive in-game utility assets that operate as the economic engine in ZTX.
