Guide to Funding Your Immutable (IMX) Passport for In-Game Assets
Learn how to fund your Immutable (IMX) Passport for purchasing in-game assets on Immutable X and zkEVM chains with this detailed guide.
Understanding the Immutable Ecosystem
Before you start, it’s vital to confirm the chain your game operates on. Immutable backs two chains: Immutable X and Immutable zkEVM. For example, ‘Guild of Guardians’ uses zkEVM, while ‘Illuvium’ is on Immutable X. Knowing this detail is crucial for correct fund allocation.
Token Requirements
Identify the specific tokens needed for your transactions. Some assets may need USDC, others ETH, and some $IMX. Having the right token type is key for a smooth purchasing process.
Layer 2 Wallet Considerations
Your Immutable Passport acts as a layer 2 wallet, integrated into Ethereum. You must transfer funds from layer 1 to layer 2 chains, including Immutable zkEVM and Immutable X. Remember, sending funds directly to an Immutable Passport address from another wallet or centralized exchange on Ethereum (L1) or any non-Immutable zkEVM chain won’t work and could lead to fund loss.
Funding Your Immutable Passport
There are various ways to add funds to the Immutable zkEVM chain:
- Debit Card: Add funds using a debit card through Transak, supporting $IMX, ETH, and USDC.
- Bridging from a Centralized Exchange (CEX): Layerswap backs $IMX, ETH, USDC, and $GOG.
- Bridging from Another EVM Chain or Ethereum (L1): Choose from Squid (supports $IMX, ETH, USDC, and more), Layerswap, or a native bridge powered by Axelar (enabling movement of $IMX, ETH, or USDC from/to ETH L1).
Future Funding for Immutable X Chain
Immutable has outlined upcoming funding options for the Immutable X chain:
- Debit Card: Moonpay will support $IMX, ETH, USDC, and $GODS.
- Bridge from Another EVM Chain or Ethereum (L1): Layerswap will support $IMX, ETH, USDC, and $GODS.
More detailed instructions will be provided by Immutable once these options are accessible.
