To fully engage with the Immutable blockchain ecosystem—home to Vendetta Games NFTs and more—it's essential to load your Immutable zkEVM wallet with some IMX tokens. Transactions on Immutable zkEVM are incredibly cheap (sometimes free!), but having funds in your wallet will enable you to trade NFTs, play games, and use DeFi protocols. Plus, making regular transactions on Immutable zkEVM might just land you an IMX airdrop!
Why Use Immutable Passport?
While Immutable supports popular crypto EVM wallets like MetaMask, they highly recommend using their native Immutable Passport wallet. And for good reason—it's streamlined, secure, and specifically designed to enhance your experience on their platform. We'll focus on the Passport wallet for this guide, though the steps are similar for other EVM-compatible wallets. Read our guide to get started with Passport.
Method 1: Faster Bridge (Recommended)
Best for: Most people
Now you can bridge to Immutable zkEVM from a wide variety of Ethereum layer-2 chains to take advantage of low gas fees. The Faster Bridge is our top pick because it's quick, decentralized, and cost-effective.
Steps:
Prepare some ETH in your MetaMask wallet Supported chains: Arbitrum Nova, Arbitrum One, Astar zkEVM, Avalanche, Base, BSC, ImmutableX, Linea, Loopring, Optimism, Polygon, Polygon zkEVM, Scroll, Starknet, zksync Era, zksync Lite, Zora

Connect your MetaMask wallet Click the wallet icon in the upper-right corner and then approve the connection in MetaMask.
Choose the source chain and asset In the From fields, choose the blockchain where your funds are stored in Metamask. Choose ETH as the asset to bridge. Note: You cannot currently bridge IMX, so bridge some ETH. You can swap it for IMX later.
Choose the destination chain and asset In the To fields, choose Immutable zkEVM and ETH.
Choose the amount Remember to leave a small amount of ETH in your MetaMask wallet for transaction fees.
Paste your Immutable zkEVM address You can locate and copy this address from the upper-right corner of your Passport wallet.
Enable "Refuel" If this is your first time funding your Passport wallet, enable Refuel to convert a small amount of ETH to IMX to cover the initial transaction fees.
Bridge the funds Click Swap now to bridge the funds.
