INTMAX Debuts Its Layer 2 Payment Solution for Ethereum

— December 16, 2024 — World
INTMAX has launched the world's first stateless payment solution for Ethereum and in doing so, the brand introduces a public testnet designed to address blockchain scalability and efficiency issues The platform leverages zk-Rollup technology to aggregate multiple transactions off-chain and process them with minimal on-chain data, ensuring high throughput with sub-cent transaction fees even during periods of network congestion. INTMAX's stateless payment solution aims to support global-scale transaction volumes while maintaining Ethereum’s security and decentralization.

The system provides robust privacy features and utilizes zero-knowledge proofs for secure transaction validation. This makes it particularly attractive to regions with underdeveloped financial infrastructures, where low-cost, high-volume transactions could enable cryptocurrency adoption.

INTMAX's partnerships across Latin America, Africa, and Japan further support its goal of bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
