POWERING THE BEST IN BLOCKCHAIN
Build hyper-scalable games, applications, and exchanges on Ethereum.
Build hyper-scalable games, applications, and exchanges on Ethereum.
Our engine supports over 9,000 transactions per second, a 600x improvement over native on-chain limits.
Remove the economic constraints. Neither you nor your users will pay gas fees for minting or exchanging assets.
We commit zero knowledge proofs on chain so users will always be able to verify and withdrawal their assets.
Don't let fees for creating and exchanging assets limit what you can do. Our pricing is affordable and transparent for all meta systems.
Minting, buying, selling, and transferring assets on Immutable is faster than the time it took you to read this sentence.
Unlike sidechains, we're not controlled by central operators that can be easily attacked (51%) and ransomed, nor do we require a novel token to use.
Trustlessly place buy orders which can be filled by any NFT with certain properties e.g. any Diamond GU card.
"The Ethereum ecosystem is likely to be all-in on rollups as a scaling strategy for the near and mid-term future”.
Immutable X uses a ZK-rollup: we take thousands of off-chain trades, generate a proof that these trades were all valid (i.e. the users who owned the assets signed the trades), and then publish that proof on chain, where it is verified by a smart contract. This means that Immutable X can scale to 9,000 tps and beyond, while maintaining the same security as Ethereum mainnet.
During this process, user assets are held in our smart contracts and can only be released after a valid proof assigning them to the withdrawing user has been published.
Ethereum is (by far) the largest smart contract blockchain in the world. It has built up enormous network effects and is the platform of choice for users and developers alike: we’ve seen the value of this with the rise of DeFi this year. It has enormous ecosystem support: exchanges, wallets, fiat providers - even regulators are very familiar with Ethereum and how to interface with it. Building all this infrastructure from scratch (while Ethereum continues to improve) will be very challenging.
Further, we believe that Ethereum best represents the philosophy of trustless, decentralized asset ownership. It has consistently prioritized decentralization and network health over short-term scalability upgrades. Ethereum is largely community developed, and multiple healthy clients are available - all of this means that your assets are safer. There’s no point owning blockchain assets if they can be lost or seized at any point.
Put simply, if you’re building an NFT project, you want to be on Ethereum. Immutable X lets projects stay on Ethereum while massively boosting their scalability and liquidity, and we’re enormously excited to tell the world about it.
We've written a short guide of the different NFT scaling solutions along with their advantages and disadvantages. If you're curious, click here to have a read.
We are aiming to release our first public version in late Q4 2020 or early Q1 2021. If you’d like more information about Immutable X, or if you’re building an NFT application or exchange, we'd love to hear from you.
