Now that the Immutable zkEVM Mainnet has been launched, gaming enthusiasts are gearing up for an immersive experience. With a lineup of eagerly awaited and well-funded games set to launch on the chain in the coming months, players are eager to explore the possibilities.

To facilitate this, Immutable aims to simplify the process of holding funds on zkEVM through Immutable Passport, offering players the ability to play, earn, own, and trade across various games and marketplaces – all from a secure and unified location.

In the quest for a straightforward method, the Immutable Toolkit offers users the option to purchase coins directly (on-ramp) on Immutable zkEVM. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Option 1: Buy Coins Directly

The Immutable Toolkit allows users to purchase coins directly (on-ramp) on Immutable zkEVM using card, Google Pay or Apple Pay.

Just follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the “Buy coins” section within Immutable Toolkit.
2. Connect your wallet (Immutable Passport wallet or MetaMask).
3. Follow the prompts from Transak, Immutable's on-ramp provider, to choose how many coins you wish to purchase, enter your payment information, and verify your identity.
4. Congratulations! You have successfully funded your wallet on Immutable zkEVM.

Option 2: Transferring Funds from Ethereum

For those who already have coins on L1 Ethereum, transferring to L2 Immutable zkEVM is safe and easy. The Immutable Toolkit allows users to bridge funds from MetaMask to Immutable Passport, and vise-versa.

Just follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the “Move coins” section within Immutable Toolkit.
2. Choose the wallet and network where your funds are currently stored and where you’d like to move them.
3. Select the number of tokens you would like to move, then review and approve the transaction.
4. Congratulations! You have successfully funded your wallet on Immutable zkEVM.

Considerations and Best Practices

Managing your on-chain funds, just like any other financial assets, requires attention to security and optimization.

Here are some recommendations:

1. Enable security measures when available and use Immutable Passport for the best, most secure experience.
2. Gas fees will change depending on network congestion and funding approach. Once you have your funds on Immutable zkEVM, gas fees will become substantially less expensive.

Continue monitoring Immutable Toolkit and Immutable Passport for new funding methods, rewards, and new games to play.
