Immutable announced the launch of biweekly IMX staking rewards on the newly integrated Immutable zkEVM chain. This event underscores a strategic pivot in staking models, generating anticipation within the community.
IMX Staking on zkEVM
On June 19, 2025, Immutable launched biweekly IMX staking rewards on the merged Immutable zkEVM chain. This marks a significant shift from the previously existing weekly reward schemes.
No Snapshot for Genesis Rewards
Currently, no snapshot has been taken for the expected Genesis rewards, leaving participants awaiting official communications from the company. Participation in rewards is only possible through staking on the latest chain.
Impact on the Immutable Ecosystem
The shift to new reward schemes is expected to increase activity and liquidity within the Immutable ecosystem, potentially prompting former Immutable X participants to join zkEVM. Reward calculations will be based on NFT transaction volume, increasing user engagement.
The new IMX staking model could bring significant changes to the financial landscape and the profitability of platforms, creating a feedback loop between platform utilization and rewards.
