What is Illuvium (ILV)?
Illuvium is a decentralized franchise of interconnected, high-quality games built on the Ethereum network. Its main value proposition is to merge high-production-value gaming with verifiable digital asset ownership, known as the play-to-earn model. The project is an open-world fantasy role-playing game where players capture collectible creatures called Illuvials, which are represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The project's economic model mandates that 100% of the game’s generated revenue is distributed back to those who stake the project's native token.
How does Illuvium work?
Illuvium achieves scalability and efficiency by processing the majority of its transactions, including NFT minting and trading, on Immutable X. This is a Layer 2 scaling solution that utilizes Zero-Knowledge Rollups (zk-Rollups), a technology that bundles hundreds of transactions off-chain and sends a cryptographic proof of their validity back to Ethereum. This method allows the game to achieve high speeds and eliminates gas fees for players while maintaining Ethereum's core security.
What is Illuvium used for?
Key features include an interoperable game universe where digital assets are designed to be used across multiple titles, as well as the ability for players to trade assets on the IlluviDex marketplace with zero transaction fees. The ILV token serves as the primary utility and governance token, allowing holders to participate in the project's Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to vote on future development and economic policies. Token holders can stake ILV to earn rewards funded by in-game revenue, and a synthetic version of the token is used as in-game currency.
Where can you buy Illuvium?
Illuvium (ILV) is traded on a wide range of centralized and decentralized exchanges.

You can open the Markets section above to see the live list of exchanges quoting ILV, sorted by 24-hour volume. Each row links to the venue's trade page so you can go directly from research to execution without copying the ticker around by hand.
What is the daily trading volume of Illuvium (ILV)?
The reported 24-hour trading volume of Illuvium is $3.37M. Volume is a live reading of how much ILV changed hands across all tracked exchanges in the past day and tends to rise during periods of price discovery and fall during consolidation.
For traders, the ratio between volume and market cap is often more informative than either number on its own: a high vol-to-mcap ratio indicates liquid, actively traded supply, while a low ratio suggests that most holders are sitting on the asset.
What is the highest and lowest price for Illuvium (ILV)?
Illuvium reached an all-time high of $1,911.26 on November 30, 2021, and an all-time low of $3.30 on March 29, 2026. It is currently trading -99.74% from its peak and +50.58% from its bottom.
The distance from ATH is a useful gauge of recovery potential during a bear market and of stretched positioning during a bull market. Combined with the all-time-low figure it provides a quick statistical frame for thinking about where ILV sits in its long-run price range.
What is the market cap of Illuvium (ILV)?
Illuvium's market capitalization is currently $41.19M, and it is ranked #569 by market cap on Cryptopricing. Market cap is calculated as the current price multiplied by the circulating supply (8.29 million ILV are actively circulating today).
Market cap is a common but imperfect measure. It reflects the theoretical value of every circulating token at the current market price, but it doesn't capture how thin the top of the order book might be - an important caveat for tokens with low floats or illiquid cap tables.
What is the fully diluted valuation of Illuvium (ILV)?
The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of Illuvium is $47.71M. FDV is a projection of what the market cap would be if every token that will ever exist - including those that have not yet been unlocked, mined or issued - were in circulation at the current price.
FDV is a useful second reading alongside market cap. A large gap between mcap and FDV signals that future token emissions could dilute current holders, while a small gap indicates that supply is already mostly out.
How does the price performance of Illuvium compare against its peers?
Over the past 24 hours, Illuvium has moved -2.03%. Over the past seven days, the change is +8.00%. Comparing these figures to the global crypto market cap change (shown in the ticker at the top of this page) tells you whether ILV is leading, lagging or tracking the broader market.

How to store Illuvium?
Like any crypto asset, the right way to store ILV depends on how often you plan to use it. Long-term holders typically self-custody using a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor, which keeps private keys offline and immune to most remote attacks.
For active traders, a reputable custodial exchange wallet can be appropriate, especially one with clear proof-of-reserves attestations. Whatever approach you choose, the most important rule is to keep your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and never enter it into a web form or attached to a DM - no legitimate support agent will ever ask for it.
