Step-by-Step Guide to Funding Your Immutable (IMX) Passport

Immutable
(IMX)
has
released
a
comprehensive
guide
to
assist
users
in
funding
their
Immutable
Passport,
an
essential
step
for
purchasing
in-game
assets
on
the
Immutable
X
and
Immutable
zkEVM
chains,
according
to

immutable.com.

Understanding
the
Immutable
Ecosystem

Before
proceeding,
it
is
crucial
to
verify
which
chain
your
game
is
on.
Immutable
supports
two
chains:
Immutable
X
and
Immutable
zkEVM.
For
instance, ‘Guild
of
Guardians’
operates
on
zkEVM,
while ‘Illuvium’
is
on
Immutable
X.
Knowing
the
specific
chain
is
vital
for
the
correct
allocation
of
funds.

Token
Requirements

Next,
users
need
to
identify
the
specific
tokens
required
for
their
transactions.
Some
assets
might
require
USDC,
others
ETH,
and
some
$IMX.
Ensuring
the
correct
token
type
is
pivotal
for
a
seamless
purchase
experience.

Layer
2
Wallet
Considerations

Immutable
Passport
functions
as
a
layer
2
wallet,
built
on
top
of
Ethereum.
Users
must
transfer
funds
from
layer
1
to
layer
2
chains,
which
include
Immutable
zkEVM
and
Immutable
X.
It
is
important
to
note
that
sending
funds
directly
to
an
Immutable
Passport
address
from
another
wallet
or
centralized
exchange
on
Ethereum
(L1)
or
any
other
non-Immutable
zkEVM
chain
will
not
work,
and
funds
may
be
lost.

Funding
Your
Immutable
Passport

There
are
several
ways
to
add
funds
to
the
Immutable
zkEVM
chain:

1. 
   Debit
   Card:
   Users
   can
   add
   funds
   using
   a
   debit
   card
   via
   Transak,
   which
   supports
   $IMX,
   ETH,
   and
   USDC.
2. 
   Bridging
   from
   a
   Centralized
   Exchange
   (CEX):
   Layerswap
   supports
   $IMX,
   ETH,
   USDC,
   and
   $GOG.
3. 
   Bridging
   from
   Another
   EVM
   Chain
   or
   Ethereum
   (L1):
   Options
   include
   Squid
   (supports
   $IMX,
   ETH,
   USDC,
   and
   more),
   Layerswap,
   and
   a
   native
   bridge
   powered
   by
   Axelar
   (supports
   moving
   $IMX,
   ETH,
   or
   USDC
   from/to
   ETH
   L1).
