Mobing to Polkadot
The migration of Mythical Games’ assets to Polkadot has been facilitated by the blockchain’s compatibility with both Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM) and its WebAssembly-based Substrate framework. This ensures developers can build on the platform while maintaining address compatibility with Ethereum. Through this integration, Mythical Games aims to expand the trading experience for in-game assets on its Mythos chain. This should make it a competitive player in the blockchain gaming space, alongside other popular Layer-1 chains like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon.
“Mythos has formed a groundbreaking, transformative partnership with Polkadot, which is set to immensely benefit both blockchain ecosystems, as well as the entire Web3 gaming community. As a result of this new partnership, I expect Mythos will continue to grow immensely thanks to the impressive technological and community bases of the two collaborative ecosystems.”—John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games.
The bottom line
Mythos’ migration to Polkadot represents a significant milestone in blockchain adoption for the gaming industry. By leveraging Polkadot’s infrastructure, Mythical Games is enhancing the user experience for in-game asset trading while contributing to the broader growth of the Polkadot network. This integration underscores the increasing convergence of blockchain technology and gaming, offering new opportunities for both gamers and developers.
