Mintable app to support minting NFTs on the layer 2 Immutable X protocol

Published at: Dec. 14, 2021

Mintable marketplace announced its partnership with Immutable X, a StarkWare-based layer 2 solution for NFTs on Ethereum, to make over 24 million NFTs on Immutable X available for sale on Mintable. This integration will enable users to deposit ETH and ERC-20 tokens with instant confirmation and no gas fees.

According to Mintable’s Twitter thread, Mintable and Immutable X share a vision to scale NFT marketplaces by offering access to NFTs to the masses.

Although zero gas fees may sound appealing, the size restriction for gasless files is only 300 MB. Anything larger than that will incur gas fees. 

Mintable’s blog statement also claimed that neither decentralization nor user custody would be compromised. Since assets are secured on the Ethereum blockchain, the project believes that users will be able to securely manage their NFT trading experience.

According to Immutable X, the project ensures that any NFT activity on its protocol is completely carbon neutral. This doesn't mean it is carbon emission free, rather that it is purchasing carbon credits to offset any gas consumed on Ethereum.

Robbie Ferguson, Cofounder and President at Immutable , said about the partnership:

“We want to be everywhere NFT fans are and Mintable’s dedication to break new ground in empowering audiences with smart contracts is mind blowing. We are excited to welcome the communities and work with Mintable app to grow NFT marketplaces.”

Mintable also operates a decentralized autonomous organization; the first DAO to run on NFTs and not on ERC-20 tokens. The Mintable NFT DAO relies on MINT voting NFTs. MINT holders can sell their voting NFTs on open marketplaces just like any other NFT.

The importance of decentralized oracles: Interview with Sergey Nazarov
Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov believes that increasing the decentralization and scalability of oracle technologies are key to ensure trust in the DeFi ecosystem. Oracles play a key role in the correct functioning of DeFI protocols by connecting them to real-world data. However, the trustworthiness of oracles becomes compromised in instances where they rely on a single data source to retrieve information. For instance, according to Nazarov, excessively centralized oracles enabled five recent flash loan attacks, which resulted in DeFi protocols losing around $40 million. Flash loans, a form of loan that does not require any collateral, can be used to …
