Methods to Get Funds onto Immutable zkEVM

Ensuring you have funds where and when you need them doesn't have to be complicated. Here are two methods you can utilize to get coins onto Immutable zkEVM:

Option 1: Buy Coins Directly

The Immutable Toolkit allows users to purchase coins directly (on-ramp) on Immutable zkEVM using card, Google Pay or Apple Pay. Just follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the “Buy coins” section within Immutable Toolkit
2. Connect your wallet (Immutable Passport wallet or MetaMask)
3. Follow the prompts from Transak, our on-ramp provider, to choose how many coins you wish to purchase, enter your payment information, and verify your identity
4. Congratulations! You have successfully funded your wallet on Immutable zkEVM

Option 2: Transferring Funds from Ethereum

For those who already have coins on L1 Ethereum, transferring to L2 Immutable zkEVM is safe and easy. The Immutable Toolkit allows users to bridge funds from MetaMask to Immutable Passport, and vise-versa. Just follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the “Move coins” section within Immutable Toolkit
2. Choose the wallet and network where your funds are currently stored and where you’d like to move them
3. Select the number of tokens you would like to move, then review and approve the transaction
4. Congratulations! You have successfully funded your wallet on Immutable zkEVM

Considerations and Best Practices

Managing your on-chain funds, just like any other financial assets, requires attention to security and optimization. Here are some recommendations:

1. Enable security measures when available and use Immutable Passport for the best, most secure experience
2. Gas fees will change depending on network congestion and funding approach. Once you have your funds on Immutable zkEVM, gas fees will become substantially less expensive
