In-game currencies (ERC‑20 tokens)

This guides section has everything you need to know about in‑game currencies, otherwise known as ERC‑20 tokens.

Whether you want to launch a new token on Immutable zkEVM or you've already launched on Ethereum or another blockchain, all the information you need to get started can be found here.

💡Who is this for?

Game developers who want to launch an in-game currency.

This guides section will take you from start to finish of setting up an in-game currency using ERC-20 tokens. It is tailored to ERC-20 tokens that have already been launched on another chain. However, if you'd like to deploy your ERC-20 token directly on Immutable zkEVM, you can do so via Immutable Hub in a few easy clicks by following our Launch a new ERC-20 token guide.

💡Guides are sequential

This guides section is intended to be completed in chronological order. Some guides are prerequisites to others so please ensure you complete each guide in order to avoid confusion.

ERC-20 Launch Checklist

1. Set up your ERC-20 token on Immutable zkEVM (Mandatory)

If your ERC-20 token exists on another chain, Ethereum or non-Ethereum, it has never been easier to make it available on Immutable zkEVM.

2. Link your ERC-20 token in Immutable Hub (Mandatory)

Once you have deployed and mapped your ERC-20 token to Immutable zkEVM, you must link your token in Immuable Hub to gain access to our Commerce Widget and manage your token in one place.

3. Set up liquidity for your ERC-20 token (Mandatory)

Setting up a liquidity pool for your ERC-20 token is necessary to allow users' smooth bridging and swapping.

This step is required if you want to use Immutable's Commerce Widget and if you want to enable any kind of bridging, swapping and on-ramping for your users.

As part of Immutable's commitment to providing a seamless experience for gamers, we offer the Commerce Widget that can be used to enhance your game's checkout experience.

5. Enable players to on-ramp your ERC-20 token (Optional)

Immutable partners with Transak to provide an easy on-ramping solution which will allow your players to purchase your ERC-20 token using fiat currencies.

6. Integrate your ERC-20 token into marketplaces (Optional)

This guide will walk you through adding your ERC-20 token to marketplaces, which enables users to buy assets using your token.
