The world’s largest retail gaming and trade-in destination, GameStop, has planned to launch its own forum for non-fungible tokens (NFT) and is co-initiating an “up to $100 million” repository for game developers using it.

The repository for the grant is named in Immutable X’s IMX tokens, specifically 56,209,850 tokens, that are worth over $200 million at the present prices due to the increase in the price of the IMX tokens. However, the fund is clinched at $100 million.

In addition, Immutable X will contribute up to $150 million in tokens of IMX to GameStop on achieving certain breakthroughs. These milestones are inclusive of the NFT marketplace launch, reaching sales volumes of $1.5 billion and $3 billion on Immutable X within a given time frame.
