After a long wait Immutable X finally launches as an alpha version to make it possible for traders to test it out and trade the season 2 cards of Gods Unchained called Trial of the Gods. Immutable X is a layer-2 solution that uses zksnarks as one of the first layer 2 solutions, it's something Vitalik Buterin has talked a lot about in the past and thinks they're up for the challenge compared to other second layer solutions to ETH, mainly those with their own tokens like OMG, Matic (renamed to Polygon), Loom Network, etc. This will most likely mean there won't be an IMX token, at least not yet, but a lot of Gods Unchained players aren't that interested in that as they're mainly happy to finally be able to trade cards again.

Starting out you'll only be able to trade TotG cards, they've already been minted on IMX if you linked your wallet in time when they first announced IMX about to be released. The IMX website looks really slick but so far there's very few things you can do on it, many raised their concerns over not even being able to properly filter their cards or stack the ones they have many of on top of each other for a cleaner collection page, but keep in mind this is still Alpha and more settings can easily be added later once the more important things are working properly. One of them is to be able to trade your cards without having to pay ETH gas fees in between!

##### Once you sign the transaction with your Eth wallet you'll be logged in and can browse your Inventory, right now the only way to filter cards is by searching for them:

##### The marketplace works similarly right now where you can search for cards based on keywords and they're listed based on lowest price first:

##### Then there's also a transaction tab that brings up a window showing your recent transactions:

In a nutshell, the only time you have to pay gas fees now is when you send ETH to your IMX "wallet" and convert it to "IMX ETH" and maybe when you want to send it back out again, think similar to other pegged tokens like WETH. This will allow you to trade on IMX without having to pay the ridiculous ETH fees we know today and IMX is said to be able to handle OVER 9000 tx's per second!

If you're someone who's been purchasing Season 2 packs, you're now able to trade these on Immutable X: https://market.x.immutable.com/ 

I've personally not bought much TotG cards so I'm not looking to be selling any as of yet, maybe buy some I'm lacking if the prices look good, but I'm more looking forward to genesis cards being on IMX as well, hopefully soon! It's hard to say what value the cards should have, if they will hold or if they will go up in price and when but Gods Unchained has seen an increase in new users and activity ever since the Coinbase earn promotion with a lot of activity still existing even after the promotion ended. Now with IMX and trading being possible again I'm looking forward to see how the team will continue development, marketing and the impact it will have to adoption. The game itself is really fun and really finetuned. It's very seldom I run into bugs these days.

Since I personally don't have much of an opinion on season 2 packs, I figured I'd drop a link to a Buyers Guide made by @copperpitch recently: https://youtu.be/2PQ6AtdEKKM
