Ethereum-built NFT protocol, Immutable, has revealed that it raised $65m from its latest fundraising round. It also revealed that some notable names that supported this funding round included Gary Vaynerchuk and Sam Bankman-Fried. However, the top investor in this round was Bitkraft Ventures.
Utilizing The Funds Raised
The firm stated that it would use the funds to expand its service offerings and better equip its sales and marketing department. Immutable X (Immutable’s scaling solution) enables the distribution and exchange of digital artworks across the Ethereum community.
Two years ago, Immutable the development of gods unchained (a blockchain-built trading game). Top players of this game were rewarded with the project’s token, $gods. According to the Immutable X website, the protocol can complete 9,500 transactions per second and uses ZK-rollups for scaling functionalities without charging any transaction fees.
A top-level executive of the firm opined that there is more to the NFT space than what currently obtains in it. She further said, “our goal is to enable small merchants to develop their NFT application without any coding knowledge but only using APIs.”
The ZK-technology compresses all mint and trade actions into a validity proof which is retransferred to the initial blockchain. Thus, less gas is expended, and less energy is consumed. Immutable purchases carbon credits which give it the incentive to eliminate using carbon in its facility.
