Immutable zkEVM is an EVM-equivalent zk-rollup on Ethereum mainnet purpose-built for games, using IMX as the native gas token. It is used to launch and scale Web3 games, mint and trade in-game NFTs with ecosystem-level royalty protection, and run game logic with low-cost, high-throughput transactions using standard Solidity tooling. As of Sep 2025, typical transaction fees are sub-$0.01 to a few cents in IMX, block times are ~2 seconds, sustained throughput is 100+ TPS, and daily activity ranges from tens to hundreds of thousands of transactions depending on live game traffic.
Immutable zkEVM is unique for its gamer-first stack—Immutable Passport (frictionless wallet/SSO), a global orderbook and liquidity network, gas sponsorship for user transactions, and IMX-native gas—combined with EVM equivalence. Compared to Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks, ~15 TPS, $1–$5+ fees) and many general L2s, it delivers ~2s blocks, 100+ TPS, and 10–100x lower fees while preserving Ethereum-grade security via zero-knowledge proofs and seamless compatibility with the broader EVM ecosystem.
Immutable zkEVM uses IMX as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain IMX by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge IMX to Immutable zkEVM, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Immutable zkEVM as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Immutable zkEVM you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Immutable zkEVM to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send IMX on Immutable zkEVM, ensure your wallet is connected to the Immutable zkEVM network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of IMX to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
