Xsolla to Launch Blockchain-Based Tool Xsolla ZK for Game Developers
Global video game commerce company Xsolla is set to launch a blockchain solution designed to assist game developers in managing digital assets—Xsolla ZK.
Powered by ZKsync’s Ethereum Layer 2 zero-knowledge rollup technology, Xsolla ZK will become part of the Elastic Chain ecosystem.
The tool, which includes a digital “backpack” for in-game items, is intended to support developers and infrastructure providers in transitioning to blockchain solutions.

Xsolla ZK is a blockchain-based tool created to help game developers, item creators, and infrastructure providers manage and store in-game items securely on the blockchain.
By integrating zero-knowledge rollup technology, Xsolla ZK aims to offer developers a scalable and secure solution for digital asset management, suitable for high-demand environments like video gaming.
“Xsolla ZK leverages Ethereum Layer 2 zk Rollup technology to create a digital backpack for game developers,” said Lee Jacobson, Senior Vice President of Business Development Web3 at Xsolla. “By deploying our expertise on the ZKsync Elastic Chain, we provide game developers with a scalable and pioneering solution aligning with the economic models with which they are familiar. Xsolla ZK is not just about innovation; it’s about creating real value for the gaming community.”

At the core of Xsolla ZK’s offerings is its digital “backpack” feature.
This feature allows game developers to store, manage, and transfer virtual items on the blockchain, with the security and efficiency that ZKsync technology provides.
By leveraging Ethereum Layer 2 infrastructure, Xsolla ZK aims to minimize costs and improve transaction efficiency, which are key considerations in large-scale gaming.
“For gaming ecosystems to thrive, it’s critical to close the gap for both users and builders; builders need proven, plug-and-play infrastructure to launch rich features while handling the performance required by mass usage games,” said Rich Kim, Head of Gaming at Matter Labs. “Additionally, users need easy-to-use and convenient in-game features and payment options that can be leveraged across a broad ecosystem of games. Xsolla ZK is carving a path for gaming to transition and thrive in web3.”
The Role of the Elastic Chain
Xsolla ZK will operate within the Elastic Chain, a network of interconnected zero-knowledge rollups designed for interoperability and scalability within the Ethereum ecosystem.
This setup is intended to support secure and efficient multi-chain transactions, allowing assets and data to move between chains without compromising Ethereum’s security standards.
Elastic Chain’s structure supports a wide range of applications whilst offering the flexibility of a multi-chain environment.
