INTMAX is a stateless zk‑Rollup Layer 2 protocol for Ethereum that processes transactions with only a few bytes of on‑chain data, delivering near‑instant finality, ultra‑low fees, and throughput of up to ~266 k TPS. It uses zero‑knowledge proofs to keep transfers fully confidential while allowing developers to build private, high‑performance payment and DeFi applications with open‑source SDKs and comprehensive tooling.

Problem
Ethereum users and developers face high transaction fees, limited scalability, and a lack of on-chain privacy, making fast, low-cost, confidential payments difficult to achieve at scale.
Solution
INTMAX provides a stateless zk‑Rollup Layer 2 protocol on Ethereum that processes transactions with only 4–5 bytes of on‑chain data. By moving state storage and proof generation to the client, it delivers near‑instant finality, near‑zero fees, and high throughput (up to ~266 k TPS) even under heavy network load. Built‑in zero‑knowledge proofs ensure that transfers are fully confidential, preventing address linking and balance exposure. The native ITX token incentivizes “privacy mining,” rewarding users who deposit ETH and follow privacy‑preserving rules, thereby fostering a decentralized, privacy‑first token economy. Comprehensive developer tooling, open‑source SDKs, and extensive documentation make it straightforward to launch private, scalable payment applications and other zero‑gas Web3 solutions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Ethereum developers building payment, DeFi, or IoT applications that require high‑speed, low‑cost, and confidential transactions, as well as end‑users and enterprises seeking private, instant crypto payments.
Features
- Stateless architecture with client‑side state storage, requiring only ~5 bytes of data per transaction on Ethereum L1
- Zero‑knowledge proof stack (zk‑SNARKs, recursive and transparent ZKPs) delivering full transaction confidentiality
- Near‑zero gas fees and high throughput (≈266 k TPS) enabled by hybrid rollup‑plasma design
- Support for major assets (ETH, WBTC, DAI, USDC) and bulk transfers via the INTMAX wallet and Payless services
- Privacy Mining model that rewards users with the ITX utility token for depositing and transacting privately
- Open‑source developer SDK, detailed docs, and community support for building private, zero‑gas apps
- Integrated bridge and bulk transfer capabilities for efficient movement of assets between L1 and the INTMAX L2
