As the Web3 landscape ripens, unchanging conventional deployment models challenges a daring experiment: what if earning rewards real activity requires – not just retaining tokens? Imx on his ZKEVM-driven network The script turns with passive income – promoting dynamic returns linked to participation and already drawn attention to Web3 gaming.

Setting IMX on ZKEVM requires user involvement every cycle to earn rewards, not just token lock.

Rewards are drawn from real protocol costs and offer sustainability that go beyond inflation-driven models.

What is IMX deployment?
IMX Strike is the core stimulation of immutationable for its ZKEVM-driven ecosystem. The program was launched on June 19, 2025 and marked a crucial shift of traditional deployment models. Instead of distributing rewards for simply keeping tokensThe Immutable model requires proof of participation.
To earn rewards, users must complete three tasks within every 14-day cycle:
-
Bridge IMX -Tokens to the ZKEVM chain initial (if not yet bridged)
-
Set them through the official dashboard
-
Perform at least one NFT trade on a ZKEVM-integrated marketplace
As soon as tokens are on ZKEVM, bridging is not required every cycle – only switching off and trade are needed. Skipping a step results in no reward for that period. This structure transforms the deployment into continuous deployment instead of passive investments.
The program is funded by 20% of the protocol trade costs – no inflation. With unchanging reimbursement of 2% for each NFT transaction, the preparation of returns are directly bound by the economic activity of the platform. That makes reward percentages variable but fundamentally based in real use.
As unchanging it places in their official announcement of the launch: “This marks a great shift in how rewards are distributed.”
How it works in practice
The use starts by bridging tokens to ZKEVM (only once, unless they are moved from the chain). Users then use tokens and complete one trade per cycle to be eligible for rewards. Early Onstak disqualifies users for that period.
At the end of each cycle, rewards are automatically deposited – no manual claim required. Users who want to continue must stay and continue to act every cycle.
The process is flexible: tokens are not locked in the long term and participants can unsubscribe between cycles. Nevertheless, consistent participation yields more predictable returns.

Why feed the IMX -Ecosystem Games
The core of the strike design of immutable is a flowering NFT -Gaming scene. The ZKEVM chain is built to scale game economies -and the expansion program reflects that.
If someone who has been active in NFT-Gaming since the early days, I looked at how games-based assets such as weapons, skins and cards have evolved from speculative tokens to real in-game utilities. The focus of immutabable on utility -controlled NFTs reflects that shift.
Based NFTs such as weapons, skins and digital maps feed a large volume of peer-to-peer transactions. These are not only cosmetic; In many games such as God’s Unchained, every card has strategic gameplay value and real resale utility. Every trade generates a reimbursement that finances rewards – that links the activities of players directly to network growth.
From the perspective of a player it creates a loop: commercialists contribute to the economy, which helps to generate rewards for the community. For developers, it stimulates long-term retention-active market places to strengthen the game economies and token utility.
Hundreds of games are live or in development, which are indie to AAA Studios. This focus on utility-wise NFTs ensures that it serves and both a reward and reinvestment engine for the entire ecosystem.
Ecosystem strength: games, transactions and users
IMX -Expansing is not an isolated initiative -it is embedded in one of the most active NFT and Web3 gaming -ecosystems. Without Q1 2025Inventional ZKEVM has handled on average 498,000 daily transactions, with more than 99.9% of the NFT volume of the network consolidated to the chain.
The platform generated $ 78.3 million in NFT trading volume during Q1, mainly driven by titles such as gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians. These in-game transactions generate the trading costs that rewards for the use of rewards.
I have invariably followed since the launch of God’s unchained and saw the team repeat by ecosystems. The shift to ZKEVM feels like a natural, scalable next step.
Prior to the transition had 4.8 million IMX already distributed By deporting on unchangeable X – on average more than 67,000 IMX weekly. The switch to ZKEVM consolidates this stimulation layer under a uniform chain model, with now integrated into the ecosystem in the ecosystem.
Since the launch of the release in June 2025, unchanging millions of IMX -Tokens has distributed in rewards, with weekly allocations linked to market activity. Consistent players and traders – who are immersed in the ecosystem – tend to benefit the most.
Evaluation of sustainability
In contrast to many schedules of the farmer who depend on inflation and ultimately out, IMX -strike tires are rewards for real activities. By obliging users to actively act and use it, unchanging stimuli shifts from passive speculation and to consistent involvement.
That said, scaling this model will not be easy. Heavy users are rewarded, but casual gamers and collectors may find the system too demanding. Lower barriers or lighter participation letters may be needed to grow the user base meaningfully.
Then there is the issue of reward volatility. Since the launch of the program, APY has noticeably waved up during active trading periods and lower when things slow down. These fluctuations are visible every cycle on the Dashboard of Immutable, but the unpredictability can expand users who are looking for steady returns.
In comparison with short -term deployment experiments from earlier market cycles, the model of Immutable feels more robust. By grounding in actual use instead of token emissions, it tries a more sustainable approach.
Why this model matters
IMX inserts is not suitable for speculators in the short term. It rewards builders, players and collectors who return after the cycle cycle. It stands out for requiring measurable user involvement, rather than passively retaining.
The design builds coordination: involved users help grow the ecosystem and the ecosystem in turn rewards them. Protocol costs finance the system – no required inflation – making it sustainable by design.
Remuneration distribution is managed in collaboration with the IMX Ecosystem Foundation, with the strengthening of a transparent and coordinated administrative framework.
If unchanging games with a lot of utilility remains on board and expanding the grip for the market of the market, the postponement model can inform future models that link it to ecosystem activity.
IMX strike rewards action above accumulation. It offers a transparent alternative to inflation-heavy models. For participants who would like to help shape the future of Web3 gaming, it offers a way to earn, play and grow – together.
