{"id":"intmax","title":"INTMAX","content":"**INTMAX** is a stateless [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) protocol built on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), designed to provide scalable, private, and low-cost transactions. It aims to enable high-speed, confidential transfers while allowing users to maintain self-custody of their assets. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-wxfkoRsAmD)\n\n# Overview\n\nINTMAX is a stateless [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) solution for [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) that combines Plasma architecture with [zero-knowledge proofs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/zero-knowledge-proofs-zkps) to improve privacy and scalability. It separates client-side data handling from [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) execution, aiming to lower transaction costs and enhance privacy without compromising security. The system is designed to support efficient digital asset transfers, particularly for use cases that require speed and low fees.\n\nINTMAX emphasizes optimized value transfers over general-purpose [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), enabling features such as multi-token distribution to multiple addresses in a single transaction at no additional cost. While it does not support [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm) compatibility, its architecture prioritizes performance and cost efficiency, making it a focused solution for users seeking streamlined and secure token transfers. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-80Y0VHCqPX)\n\n# Architecture\n\nINTMAX is a [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) protocol on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) that adopts a stateless architecture. This means it doesn’t require [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) or [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) to store the full state of all accounts or contracts. Instead, it handles computation and state management off-chain while posting only essential data—such as nullifiers and a validity proof—on-chain. This design significantly reduces the on-chain data footprint, supporting higher scalability and lower transaction costs.\n\nAt the core of INTMAX’s design is [zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/zero-knowledge-proofs-zkps), which enable secure verification of off-chain computations without revealing sensitive information. By using short identifiers (around 4–5 bytes) and an interactive protocol for nullifier generation, INTMAX minimizes data per transaction. Its architecture blends elements of [ZK-rollups](https://iq.wiki/wiki/zk-rollup) and Plasma, combining [ZKPs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/zero-knowledge-proofs-zkps) for trustless computation with mechanisms that address Plasma’s historical issues, such as complex exits and data availability. The protocol inherits security from [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) and aims to deliver a more efficient, privacy-preserving transaction layer. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-80Y0VHCqPX)\n\n# Products\n\n## Privacy Mining\n\nPrivacy Mining is a system developed by INTMAX to promote and reward private, trace-free [crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) transactions. Participants earn ITX tokens by conducting privacy-preserving actions on the network, such as depositing and transferring [ETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ether-eth) without revealing metadata or linking addresses. The mechanism operates with minimal fees and emphasizes anonymity, allowing users to contribute to the network's privacy infrastructure while being compensated for their activity.\n\nThe process runs on the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) chain and is accessible with just 0.1 ETH and a computer. Rewards are distributed using a fixed-supply schedule of 1,001 million ITX tokens over a structured 2,032-day halving cycle. INTMAX currently supports CLI-based [mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining), with plans to expand to a more user-friendly web interface in the future. The system incentivizes individual privacy and strengthens the network’s Anonymity Set through collective participation. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-V0l3ChVH94) [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-QcqOcQ8fSr)\n\n## INTMAX Wallet\n\nThe INTMAX Wallet is a mobile-first, browser-compatible [crypto wallet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency-wallet) focused on high-level security and ease of use. It employs advanced cryptographic techniques such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to protect assets and enable secure, private transactions without compromising usability.\n\nUsers can send [crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) via simple links, bypassing traditional address inputs, and access their wallet from any device without requiring extensions, apps, or seed phrases. The wallet supports encrypted account sharing across devices, allowing seamless access and continuity. Its design offers security levels comparable to hardware wallets, aiming to provide a cost-effective yet secure alternative for managing digital assets. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Awm5AYV9LR) [\\[10\\]](#cite-id-0oTLhQY4n9)\n\n## Developer Tools\n\nINTMAX provides developer tools for interacting with its network, including a client SDK for building, signing, and broadcasting transactions through a simplified API, as well as a command-line interface for asset management, batch transfers, transaction monitoring, and privacy [mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining). [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-80Y0VHCqPX)\n\n# ITX\n\nITX is the native token of the INTMAX [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) network, designed to reward users who engage in privacy-preserving activity through mechanisms like Privacy Mining. It is earned through adherence to unlinkability rules, rather than distributed via traditional [airdrops](https://iq.wiki/wiki/airdrop). Beyond its role as a reward, ITX may serve future functions such as enabling access to private transactions, participating in governance, and providing utility within privacy-focused applications. As demand for private, trace-free infrastructure grows across [the crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency), finance, and AI sectors, ITX is positioned as a token tied to this emerging need.
