Ethereum Mainnet:
BASE chain:
Ethereum mainnet, Layer 1 (chain id: 1)
Base, Layer 2 (chain id: 8453)
Immutable X zkEvm mainnet, Layer 2 (chain id: 13371).
Ethereum mainnet is a layer 1 blockchain with Proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism. Immutable zkEVM is an Ethereum zk-rollup (L2) built as a fork of Geth.
Immutable zkEVM is anchored to the Ethereum mainnet because of the following benefits:
Security
Ethereum's strong security and decentralization model is a key consideration, providing us with the most secure Settlement and Data Availability (DA) layer shared across most of the highest-valued rollups.
Liquidity
Ethereum has significant capital and liquidity that will be used to fuel applications built on Immutable zkEVM.
Bridging
As Immutable is a multi-chain ecosystem, we must have fast but secure and trustless bridging between each Immutable-supported chain that shares the same Data Availability layer.
