INTMAX main

"Privacy and compliance can't coexist in crypto." They can. Proof of Innocence verifies your funds aren't from sanctioned addresses without exposing your transaction history. You prove you're clean. Everything else stays private. Privacy and compliance live on INTMAX.

For AI agents to transact onchain, three things are desirable: → The chain needs to be cheap enough to run at scale → Private enough to protect counterparties → Efficient enough to not bottleneck the agent Most blockchains solve one, maybe two. INTMAX was built for all three.

What happens when a payment network doesn't need persistent accounts? Machines can use it. In his @ETHCC presentation "Beyond Human: The Next frontier of P2M & M2M Transactions with stateless L2," @HiokiLeona explains how INTMAX's stateless architecture changes who can transact. No wallet connections or stored account state is needed, and with just ~5 bytes of on-chain data per transaction, any device can interact directly with the blockchain. When the protocol is this minimal, payments stop being a human-only activity. Person-to-machine and machine-to-machine transactions become native to the network. That's the design space statelessness opens up.

Agents need more sophisticated privacy because they’re making so many transactions. It’s a coincidence that Intmax’s scalable privacy becomes a perfect tool for agents not only for humans we thought about.

Most L2s store your balance on-chain. INTMAX does it differently. In a typical rollup, nodes hold your account state. That's what makes them scalable, but it's also what makes your data visible to anyone running a node. On INTMAX, your balance lives on your device, not on the network. Nodes never see what you hold, because they never need to. That's what stateless means in practice: the network processes your transactions without ever learning your financial history. Privacy and scalability from the same design choice.

The world is getting more convenient. Fast. AI agents will hire other agents. Pay each other. Work autonomously, around the clock. And every transaction will be tracked — forever. New capabilities, new norms. We're writing the rules as we go. That's exactly why I built intmax402. Not because I'm optimistic. Because I'm concerned. An AI agent built most of this. If that doesn't make you think twice about what "privacy" means in the agentic era — it should. HTTP 402 payment middleware. ZK L2. No trail. Whether AI→AI or AI→Human. Use at your own risk. npm i @tanakayuto/intmax402-express @missbitcoin_mai @leo_hio @intmaxIO | github.com/zaq2989/intmax…

It turned out that Intmax’s reboot takes time like 3-6 months. We need time to make the next version perfect and completed.

Thanks to current coding technologies, Intmax2's reboot will be very safe and earlier than expected. A post quantum, completely confidential, supported by 200+ block producers, and the most data efficient payment network will appear.

📢 INTMAX2 System Update – Block Builders The INTMAX2 system is currently under an update development. If you have any active block builder node running, we recommend stopping them until further notice. A need of updating an internal cryptographic circuit was found. Our team is actively addressing this to ensure the highest level of security and system integrity. Block Builder Status 👉 Please stop any running builder instances. 👉 All ITX rewards and transaction fees (ETH) earned remain safe. 👉 Withdrawal of builder transaction fees (ETH) will be enabled once the Exit system adds block builder support. This is a precautionary security upgrade, not a breach. We will announce immediately once block builder withdrawals become available. Thank you.

[IMPORTANT] Withdrawals have officially resumed today at 12:00 UTC — now processed through our updated INTMAX2 Exit system. Link - exit.app.intmax.io Please note that the withdrawal process has changed. All withdrawals are now handled via the new Exit mechanism, which securely recalculates balances and processes exits to Ethereum (Layer 1). A 24-hour timelock applies before funds are released to your Ethereum address. We strongly encourage all users to carefully follow the updated withdrawal instructions when initiating their Exit request. 📷 Ensure you're interacting with this CONTRACT 0x41BCB335eB2f92E54F9577E7c3D6e172a5bfdD6B Ethereum Exit Contract: etherscan.io/address/0x41BC… For instructions on how to use the website, please refer to the documentation below: intmax-exit.gitbook.io/intmax-exit-do…

It’s simply Intmax. Stay tuned till we get the mainnet back!!

Mining users will start withdrawals within about one week. In the case of transfers within L2, the waiting time will be longer than that, but it will similarly proceed to withdrawal processing. Thanks for waiting!

We've identified the need for a technical update in the ZKP protocol. We will proceed with the withdrawal of assets in Intmax L2. We are currently preparing the contract for withdrawal applications, so please wait for further updates. There are no issues with the assets.

IMPORTANT: At 12:30 UTC, we have paused withdrawals from the protocol using the governance contract authority. There is no impact on funds. Please wait for a short while.

@cdixon Agree completely. Finance comes first to prove the primitives. But for finance to scale globally, privacy infrastructure becomes critical. Encrypted payments, private balances these are not features, they're foundational for crypto to work in the long run.

@Delphi_Digital "Encryption not obfuscation" — critical distinction. Bitcoin chose transparency for institutional adoption. That trade-off is now creating the demand for privacy infrastructure across all chains. Rising tide for all encrypted protocols.

@DarkFiSquad Exactly. "Making control architecturally infeasible" that's the entire point. Stateless design, encrypted by default, mathematically enforced privacy. Not because it's profitable. Because it's necessary.

OG cypherpunk vision wasn't about getting rich. It was about making surveillance expensive. Making censorship impossible. Making control architecturally infeasible. The market forgot.
