Immutable X launches IMX mainnet with limited access

In an official tweet on X, Immutable X offered zkEVM’s mainnet access to gaming studios and partners. 

The NFT marketplace’s zkEVM launch is significant since the protocol that is designed for trading and creation of NFTs, and games, will now offer several additional features that make its ecosystem attractive: gas free experience to gamers (keeping gamer spend low and attracting more gamers to games developed on IMX) and enhanced gameplay mechanics, among others. 

Zero-knowledge proof technology used in zkEVM will offer low fees and high speed for processing transactions, without slowing down the experience for users. The Layer 2 protocol is therefore gearing up to attract more gamers, developers, and studios to partner with Immutable X and build on the zkEVM mainnet. 

The protocol has powered the new functionalities on its mainnet using Ethereum’s largest scaling solution, Polygon. 

IMX price eyes 14% gains
