Immutable zkEVM chain
Overview
Immutable zkEVM is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge proof technology (zkEVM) to achieve high throughput and low transaction costs, targeted primarily at blockchain-based games and NFT applications. It was developed by Immutable in collaboration with Polygon and is EVM-compatible, allowing existing Ethereum smart contracts to be deployed.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Immutable zkEVM connects to 17 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, USD Coin, Tether USD.

Frequently asked questions
What is Immutable zkEVM?
Immutable zkEVM is a zk-rollup layer-2 blockchain built on Ethereum, designed to provide scalable and low-cost transactions for gaming and NFT projects. It is EVM-compatible, meaning developers can deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts without modification.
How does Immutable zkEVM achieve scalability?
It uses zk-rollup technology, which batches multiple transactions off-chain and submits a single validity proof to Ethereum, thereby reducing on-chain data and gas costs while maintaining Ethereum’s security.
What are the benefits for game developers?
Developers benefit from EVM compatibility, low transaction fees, high speed, and access to Immutable’s suite of tools and APIs for building and launching Web3 games.
What is Immutable zkEVM connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Immutable zkEVM is linked to 17 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, USD Coin, Tether USD.
