# Platform and technology ## Immutable X blockchain Immutable X is a Layer 2 blockchain solution specifically designed for web3 games, built atop the Ethereum network. It delivers exceptional scalability, allowing thousands of transactions per second, ensuring a seamless gaming experience for Galaxiators. By leveraging Ethereum's security with Zero-Knowledge-Rollups, Immutable X offers a secure environment for players' assets and transactions. Furthermore, it provides gas-free transactions and reduces environmental impact by eliminating energy-intensive Proof-of-Work mining.
