Title

The current title Immutable Pty Ltd doesn't seem to adhere to WP:NCCORP. The commonly recognizable name here is just "Immutable". Of course the title can't be Immutable, so perhaps Immutable (gaming) or Immutable (blockchain)? — xDanielx ^T/_C\^R 03:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Just saw this after a hiatus @XDanielx); Immutable (company) would be much more standard and distinguish it from a concept like immutability in general. But my understanding is that parenthetical is not generally preferred over a legal status as linked policy appears to say under Disambiguation? IgelRM (talk) 23:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah Immutable (company) does seems reasonable, no objection to that. To me the main difference is that (gaming) feels like a slightly broader focus, encompassing the chain and ecosystem as well as the company. Probably doesn't matter much though, since those entities are closely related.

I think using legal names is often fine (e.g. Block, Inc.), but I would argue that it's best to avoid Pty Ltd in particular, since it's a longer suffix and not widely recognized outside of a few countries. — xDanielx ^T/_C\^R 02:42, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, moving the article to (company) then. Without the abbreviation (proprietary limited), it would be a really lengthy title. Regards IgelRM (talk) 23:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Philosophy

Maybe I am old, but I was quite surprised to find that immutable.com appears to run all their own chain nodes, providing privately-controlled APIs for all functionality and no source code for their node. This provides a very different security model than mainstream blockchain features, giving the impression the company is solely responsible for maintaining immutability of content rather than the cryptographic guarantees of a blockchain. I would love to be shown wrong. EDIT: I did find that they have many repositories listed at https://github.com/immutable . It's not clear if one of these is the official node. 96.84.248.169 (talk) 13:55, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
