We are incredibly excited to share that Immutable X has been chosen as our technology partner and blockchain provider, allowing for the interoperability of VeVe digital collectible NFTs on the world's most decentralised blockchain protocol- Ethereum!
Immutable X
Immutable X is the first layer-2 scaling solution for carbon-neutral non-fungible tokens (NFTs) built on Ethereum. Utilising StarkWare’s leading zero-knowledge-proof technologies, Immutable X is able to provide instantaneous, gas-free transactions while retaining the security of Ethereum. Since its official Alpha marketplace launch in early April this year, Immutable X has proven to achieve scalability with up to 9,000+ trades per second.
“When looking for a blockchain partner we had a few key requirements — environmental friendliness, low gas fees, interoperable (the ability to move the digital asset around different platforms), ability to mint millions of NFTs, and can integrate into VeVe’s complex tech stack.
After accessing a number of offerings in this space, we selected Immutable X as they tick all the boxes, have a strong team and an established product. Lastly, the founders of VeVe and Immutable X are from ‘Down under’, located in Australia and New Zealand, and it’s great to see such solid offerings in this space coming from this part of the world.”
— Dan Crothers, ECOMI COO and Co-Founder
VeVe X Immutable
The partnership between VeVe and Immutable paves the way for VeVe to scale from its current userbase of 300,000 collectors and provide millions of everyday consumers seamless, secure and carbon-neutral experiences in the world of digital collectibles across all fandoms.
Immutable X will help VeVe to transition from a centralized blockchain to Ethereum and enable NFTs to be minted, traded, earned, shared, and collected gas-free. As a layer 2 solution, VeVe users will also be privy to improved UX through instant trades, whilst maintaining the security and decentralisation of the base-layer Ethereum chain, adding another layer of protection to VeVe digital assets.
“VeVe switching to Ethereum proves that scale, user experience, and carbon-impact no longer has to be a trade-off with core decentralization. We’re thrilled to help create a scalable way for hundreds of thousands of people to use Ethereum’s open ecosystem.”
— Robbie Ferguson, co-founder of Immutable.
Making the Transition to Immutable
Ethereum is the home of NFTs and this move not only enables the interoperability of VeVe digital collectibles, but it also opens VeVe to one of the largest communities in the space.
The full transition to Immutable X is expected to take place over the coming months, and there should be minimal disruption to the VeVe platform during that time.
