Immutable X | Official Home Website

Immutable X is a specialized Layer-2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain, specifically designed to power high-performance Web3 games and non-fungible token (NFT) projects. It addresses the main barriers to mainstream blockchain gaming—high transaction (gas) fees and slow processing speeds—by offering a platform that supports up to 9,000 transactions per second (TPS) with zero gas fees for users.

Core Technology: ZK-Rollups

Immutable X achieves its high performance through Zero-Knowledge Rollup (ZK-rollup) technology, specifically utilizing the StarkEx scaling engine developed by StarkWare.

• Batch Processing: Instead of processing every individual trade on the main Ethereum network, Immutable X bundles thousands of transactions off-chain.

• Validity Proofs: It generates a single "validity proof" (specifically a ZK-STARK) that mathematically proves all those transactions were valid

• Ethereum Security: This proof is then sent to Ethereum's mainnet to be verified. This allows the platform to inherit the robust security and decentralization of Ethereum while bypassing its congestion.

Key Features for Users and Developers

• Zero Gas Fees: Users can mint, trade, and transfer NFTs without paying any gas fees, making micro-transactions in games viable.

• Instant Confirmation: Trades are confirmed nearly instantly on Layer 2, providing a seamless experience similar to traditional web applications.

• Developer Tools: The platform provides simple REST APIs and SDKs, allowing traditional game developers to integrate blockchain features without needing to write complex smart contracts.

• Global Order Book: A shared liquidity pool ensures that any NFT listed on one marketplace (like the Immutable Marketplace) can be seen and bought on any other marketplace within the network.

• Immutable Passport: A simplified non-custodial wallet solution that allows players to sign in using just an email address, removing the "crypto jargon" barrier for new users.
