Immutable X stands as a layer 2 scaling solution tailored for Ethereum. This open-source ZK Rollup protocol is designed with a clear vision in mind: to foster a gas-free NFT ecosystem that empowers users to create and advance their own decentralized applications, including games and marketplaces. Remarkably, it can handle a throughput of up to 9000 transactions per second, all while harnessing the security and network effect inherent to Ethereum.
In the realm of problem-solving, solutions invariably emerge to address prevailing challenges. At present, Immutable X emerges as a leading layer-2 response to Ethereum's pressing issue of high gas fees, especially within the context of NFTs. Besides, with the introduction of Ethereum's Consensus Layer, the impact on all layer-2 solutions, including Immutable X, remains an open question. Nevertheless, if you're an active participant in the blockchain gaming ecosystem, it's highly probable that you've encountered frustration stemming from the constant gas expenses incurred during in-game transaction signings. This predicament extends beyond the Ethereum blockchain itself; Polygon encountered analogous challenges with the Sunflower Farmers game. For this reason, I envision a promising future for Immutable X within the play-to-earn ecosystem, at the very least. As a gamer, the prospect of Immutable X's zero gas fee protocol is an irresistible proposition. Show Less
