Ethereum gaming platform Immutable announced on Thursday the launch of The Main Quest—a rewards program that will incentivize players with up to $50 million worth of token rewards for playing games and interacting with its new zkEVM network.

Billed as the largest crypto gaming rewards program to date, The Main Quest will reward users of the recently launched Immutable zkEVM network—a layer-2 Ethereum gaming network built with Polygon zkEVM tech—for various actions.

This includes earning tokens rewards for playing early games on the network, including mobile role-playing game Guild of Guardians, mech shooter MetalCore, action game Illuvium, outer space combat game Space Nation Online, and MMORPG Treeverse. Not all of these games have been released yet, but further games and incentives will also be added over time.

"This is single-handedly the largest rewards program in Web3 gaming,” said Immutable President and co-founder Robbie Ferguson, in a release. “With The Main Quest, we are showing players what they can expect when we talk about the real benefits of digital ownership.”
