quick shot:

• Immutable has unveiled its web3 onboarding solution for gamers and developers.
• Immutable Passport is a cross-platform wallet and authentication solution that makes it easy for new users to access web3 marketplaces and games.
• The tool allows player onboarding through passwordless login and automated wallet creation.

Immutable has released its web3 cross-platform onboarding solution. Immutable Passport is a non-custodial wallet and authentication tool that allows users to gain access to blockchain markets and games through passwordless login.

The non-custodial solution does not hold user private keys, making it easily adaptable to mainstream audiences. Immutable Passport offers players a secure digital wallet, fraud protection, and seamless authentication in markets and web3 games.

The tool also allows players to create their own web3 identities, which they can use across multiple platforms. According to Immutable, Passport was created specifically to address the web3 gaming space, which seems to have been ignored by most current wallet solutions.

In an exclusive commentary to NFTgators, Michael Powell, Product Marketing Lead at Immutable, highlighted the current solution’s consent requirements for every interaction as a major hurdle to onboarding core players to web3.

“ [it impacts a game’s immersiveness, resulting in web3 games having to move all blockchain-enabled features outside core gameplay,”  said Powell.

“Passport enables users to easily access funds and make transactions without leaving the game, all while protecting them through smart heuristics, 2FA approvals, and user-controlled spend limits,” Powell added, highlighting the issues that Passport could fix with its passwordless sign-on.

Moreover, Passport offers gamers a vertically integrated gaming experience across Immutable’s suite of products, enabling them to “mint millions of NFTs for free, get their assets listed across the top NFT marketplaces,” whilst also enabling them to “promote their game to immutable’s community.” 

Passport also allows players to use one identity and travel with their assets across their gaming experience. 

Immutable Passport will also be accessible across multiple platforms. The company is prioritising mobile and desktop initially, while console support is planned for the future, Powell said.

This aligns with Immutable President and Co-Founder Robbie Ferguson’s sentiment, who said in a press release on Tuesday that “For web3 gaming to reach a billion players, onboarding must be invisible, secure, and work across any game – mobile, console or desktop. Until now, security and friction have been tradeoffs.” 

Passport allows users to sign on using an email and a one-time password (OTP). “More than that, just like a Gamertag or a Steam account, Immutable Passport offers unified identity, transaction, and authentication functionalities that simply haven’t existed in the web3 gaming space until now. We can’t wait to introduce our partners to the power of Immutable Passport,” added Ferguson.
