Immutable X (IMX) Project Overview
Immutable X (IMX) is a leading Ethereum-based Layer 2 scaling solution designed specifically for non-fungible tokens (NFTs).It utilizes zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) technology, powered by StarkWare, to address the high gas fees, slow transaction speeds, and lack of scalability on the Ethereum mainnet.Immutable X promises zero gas fees, instant transaction confirmations, and high throughput of over 9,000 transactions per second (9,000+ TPS) for NFT minting and trading, while ensuring users retain full custody of their assets.
The IMX token is the native ERC-20 utility token of the Immutable X ecosystem. Its primary uses include paying network transaction fees, participating in staking to earn rewards, exercising protocol governance rights, and incentivizing users to actively participate in network activities. According to the token allocation plan, 51.7% is allocated to ecosystem development, 25% to project development,private sales account for 14.3%, public sales account for 5%, and the foundation reserve accounts for 4%. As of 2025, the IMX token unlock schedule has been fully completed, and currently approximately 43.97% of the total supply is in circulation.

As shown by the data above, early investors achieved significant returns when the IMX token reached its all-time high of $9.52 (on November 25–26, 2021). Seed-round investors, in particular, saw their returns reach hundreds of times their initial investment at one point. However, the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile.IMX’s all-time low price dropped to $0.09476 (December 31, 2022). As of September 2, 2026, IMX’s current price is approximately $0.12–$0.13.This means that, relative to its all-time high, the current price has fallen significantly. For early investors who did not cash out at the peak, their paper gains have shrunk substantially and may even be below the cost price of certain funding rounds (such as the $0.16 from the IEO).
