IMX is the native utility token of Immutable, a leading Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem purpose-built for Web3 gaming and NFTs. Designed to solve Ethereum’s limitations around scalability and gas fees, Immutable empowers game developers and creators to build secure, fast, and user-friendly experiences without compromising decentralization.

The IMX token plays a key role in the ecosystem by:

Paying for transaction and protocol fees

Enabling staking rewards for users who help secure and support the network

Powering governance, allowing the community to vote on future upgrades and ecosystem initiatives

Immutable offers two core scaling solutions that work in tandem:

Immutable X – A high-speed, zero-gas NFT platform built on StarkWare’s StarkEx zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-rollup) technology. Immutable X enables instant, gas-free minting and trading of NFTs with full Ethereum security.

Immutable zkEVM – A newer EVM-compatible Layer 2 developed in partnership with Polygon, powered by zero-knowledge proofs. Immutable zkEVM offers full compatibility with existing Ethereum smart contracts, tools, and wallets, making it easy for developers to migrate or launch gaming apps with minimal friction.

Together, these technologies form the foundation of Immutable’s unified gaming ecosystem, which now includes major titles like Gods Unchained, Illuvium, Guild of Guardians, and other AAA and indie blockchain games. Immutable also supports developers through its Immutable Passport, a non-custodial gamer identity and wallet system, and the Immutable Developer Toolkit, which simplifies Web3 integration for studios.

With a growing network of partnerships and strong focus on onboarding traditional game studios into Web3, Immutable is positioned as one of the most scalable and developer-friendly ecosystems for blockchain gaming.
