History of Immutable X
Immutable X was founded in 2018 by three entrepreneurs; Alex Connolly and brothers James and Robbie Ferguson. They launched the platform to make it easy for developers to incorporate non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into their apps. It enables near-instant NFT transactions with very low gas fees, capable of handling up to 9,000 transactions per second. The native IMX coin of the platform debuted in September 2021 with an initial coin offering (ICO) that raised $13 million.
It has raised nearly $300 million in venture funding and was valued at $2.5 billion from its last funding round. The company is based in Sydney, Australia, and has over 200 employees working to scale its operations. Co-founder James Ferguson serves as its CEO.
