What Is Immutable X? 

Immutable X is the first Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain. It's designed to enhance Ethereum's scalability for NFT projects with features like instant trading, massive scalability, and near-zero gas fees without compromising user or asset security. 

It aims to overcome limitations such as network congestion and a low transaction speed resulting in increased activity on the Ethereum blockchain by delivering both scaling and transaction speed.

Immutable X involves near-zero gas fees, carbon neutrality, 9000 transactions per second (TPS) processing, and access to instant trades, games, and applications without compromising a user or asset security and network decentralization. 

Immutable X is powered by StarkWare’s revolutionary Starkey technology. The platform powers popular NFT games like Gods Unchained, Illuvium, and Nike (NKE)-owned sneaker NFT project, RTFKT. It provides users high throughput, security, and zero gas rates for trading and mining NFTs.

IMX Token

IMX token is the Immutable X protocol's native ERC20 governance and utility token. IMX is used to pay for the execution of smart contracts and the creation of assets.

The Immutable X native token is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance. IMX token holders must pay 20% of the protocol's fees in IMX, which goes to the staking reward pool. They can also stake IMX to receive a proportional share of the network's fees and hold IMX to vote on Immutable X network governance proposals.

The total supply of IMX is two billion, according to the following token distribution: Ecosystem development - 51.74%: user rewards, developer grants, liquidity provision, marketing purposes. Project development - 25%, Private sale - 14.26%: one-year cliff, monthly unlock over two years. Public sale - 5%: six-month unlock. Foundation - 4%: ecosystem development-related initiatives like liquidity provision, one-year cliff, and monthly unlock over four years.

The all-time high of Immutable X (IMX), i.e., the highest price paid for IMX since its launch, is $9.52, recorded on Nov 26, 2021. Its all-time low, i.e., the lowest price for ImmutableX (IMX), is $0.378055, recorded on Dec 31, 2022.

A Brief History of Immutable X

Immutable X was founded by James Ferguson, a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur who previously led a software development team at a billion-dollar eCommerce company, and his brother Robbie Ferguson, a Thiel fellow and Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur. It was created to address all three challenges of the NFT scaling trilemma: accessibility, scalability without compromising user custody, and decentralization.

The team has over 100 members from different backgrounds, like blockchain, FAANG, finance, fintech, and management consulting. The project raised a seed round in 2018 and a $15 million Series A in September 2019. Investors included some “who is who” in blockchain investing, such as Coinbase, Naspers, Nirvana Capital, Apex Capital Partners, Continue Capital, and Galaxy Digital.

How Does Immutable X Work? 

Immutable X is a technically advanced solution for NFT scaling developed with StarkWare’s powerful STARK prover and roll-up technology. 

The protocol's core components include the following: 

ZK-Rollup Scaling Engine: Immutable X combines NFT-specific exchange and proof logic with cutting-edge "zero-knowledge rollups" ("ZK rollups" technology) to create the most advanced tool for trading NFTs ever built. 

API Abstraction Layer: To ease building NFT applications, Immutable X wraps this scaling engine in a set of powerful REST APIs, making every interaction, from minting to trading and transferring, as simple as an API call. 

NFT-Enabled Wallets: Unlike other blockchains or sidechains, Immutable X supports all Ethereum desktop wallets without forcing users to switch networks. The protocol provides an intermediate layer (the “Link”) that enables an NFT-specific wallet experience of world-class quality. 

Platform SDKs: Platform and programming language-specific software development kits (SDKs) allow partners to integrate with Immutable X easily. 

Shared Liquidity & Orderbook: Unlike other NFT scaling solutions, Immutable X provides a shared global order book to facilitate protocol liquidity. This means that orders created on one marketplace can be filled on another, promoting more effective marketplace bootstrapping and price discovery.

Compliance & Support for World-Class Partners: Immutable X offers a platform that is fully legally compliant and is capable of being the trusted partner of larger projects to retain them on Ethereum 

Default Marketplace & Transaction History Explorer: The Immutable X Marketplace enables users and developers to trade NFTs on the protocol.

These components work together to provide users with the utmost Immutable X experience.
