Immutable X is the first Layer-2 for NFTs on Ethereum

Why Immutable X Matters

Immutable X is Ethereum’s first zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) scaling protocol for gas-free NFT minting and trading, built in partnership with StarkWare. NFTs are only as valuable as the security and popularity of the blockchain they are built on. We built Immutable X to leverage Ethereum’s security and network effects so more people can access world-class NFTs.

Key Highlights
Maker

Fast & SecureThe Immutable X protocol can achieve high transaction throughputs (9,000+ TPS) - speeds unparalleled on Ethereum. The protocol is non-custodial, meaning you’ll have full control of your assets, secured by the Ethereum blockchain.

fees

Zero Gas FeesFluctuating and high gas prices have limited creators and buyers from developing and accessing the world’s best NFTs. Immutable X is developed on top of StarkWare’s bleeding edge zk-rollup technology to allow you to instantly mint and trade NFTs with zero gas fees. 

speed

Build Within Hours, Not DaysWe make Ethereum easy to use at a mainstream scale so that you don’t have to choose between user experience and the best underlying technology. Immutable X’s APIs lower the barrier to entry for developers getting started on their blockchain journey so you can build your project on Ethereum in hours and not weeks.

IMX Tokenomics

IMX is the native utility token of the Immutable X protocol. The token is designed to accelerate the growth of Immutable X by incentivizing adoption and rewarding users and developers who contribute to the ecosystem. 

Token Utility

gove

Transactions Fees20% of the protocol fee on every Immutable X transaction must be paid in IMX (this includes all applications and marketplaces powered by the protocol). If you do not own IMX, Immutable will convert the fee by purchasing IMX on the open market under the hood, with no user friction.

txn

GovernanceActive Immutable X community members are able to use their IMX to have an IMX-weighted vote on the future of Immutable X. Published proposals will relate to the future development and expansion of the token ecosystem..

staking

StakingAll IMX used to pay transaction fees is sent to a staking rewards pool. This pool will be proportionally distributed among users who are currently staking IMX — the more you stake, the more you’ll earn.

   Earning IMX

Tokens will be rewarded on an ongoing basis to developers and traders who contribute to protocol growth. Every time a user performs an action which is beneficial to Immutable X (such as trading NFTs), they will earn points. A rewards pool will then be distributed proportionately amongst points holders.


Token Supply

There will be a total of 20,000,000 IMX, allocated as follows:



supply



Purpose Allocation Description
Ecosystem development 51.74% Allocated to user rewards, developer grants, liquidity provision and marketing purposes. 
Project development 25% Allocated to the development of the Immutable X token, to be conducted by the service provider, Immutable Pty. Ltd.
Private sale 14.26% Allocated to private sale investors, both institutional and individual, who will be strong advocates for IMX.
Public sale 5% Allocated to the IMX public sale.
Foundation reserve 4% Allocated to ecosystem-development related initiatives, mainly liquidity provision for exchanges, marketing and other functions the Foundation deem in the best interest of improving token ecosystem.

Technology

Immutable X is a cutting edge protocol for NFTs which enables projects to build on Layer 2 Ethereum with a fantastic developer and user experience, built on state-of-the-art blockchain scaling technology.


Scaling Engine

By combining StarkWare’s state of the art L-2 scaling engine, StarkEx, with our years of expertise in blockchain and NFT, Immutable X can achieve a throughput of thousands of NFT transactions per second. You can instantly mint and trade assets without compromising the custody of your assets as transactions are batched into a single zero-knowledge proof and are verified on Ethereum.


api

API Suite

Immutable X exposes a simple REST API which allows developers to build NFT projects without interacting directly with smart contracts. This allows successful NFT projects to be launched in hours, not weeks. 

Global Order Book

Immutable X has a global order book where developers can easily contribute to the list of NFT properties (metadata) -- without the need to build a complex backend from scratch. With the enriched metadata, sellers can create more opportunities for their NFT to be found and buyers can efficiently sort, search and filter their desired NFT on any Immutable X powered marketplace.
