(2/6) ZKEX is an ultra-secure multi-chain order book DEX.
However, weβre missing a few things:
β No bridges
π A secure L2 network connects directly to multiple chains
β No central custody
π Native assets stay in your wallet
β No complexity
π Delightfully easy to use
π
If you missed out on the $BONK airdrop, don't worry!
The ZKEX Testnet 2.0 will soon be here π
Start doing quests to level up and gain points and rewards:
When Testnet 2.0 launches we'll have new community quests to complete, so get going!
(3/6) And we added some cool features:
π€ ZKEX is decentralized and transactions are verified with mathematics (a multi-chain ZK-Rollup), not humans.
π We merge stablecoins together for an easier trading experience.
π
Our small team is based around the world, and we're looking to meet you soon!

Our immediate priorities in this new Lunar New Year are:

What's new on ZKEX Testnet 2.0?
1. New matching engine:
π¨ Transactions are executed 10x faster
2. Refreshed interface:
β¨ Mobile-friendly, deposit from mobile wallet, address book, more tokens
3. Rebuilt L2 network:

Instead of making people manically chase airdrops, projects should educate and incentivise their community to trade safely and get into DeFi the right way.

Zero-knowledge is a killer use-case for multi-chain trading:
1) Safe: protects user's assets from cross-chains risks.
2) Simple: eliminates bridging & aggregates tokens from different wallets.
3) Efficient: unlocks liquidity from any of the 12+ chains & rollups we connect to.

zkSync's technology is impressive, and their team is world-class (as well as being pretty cool people to hang out with).
We also love their ethos that blockchain tech equals financial freedom π€
We're super excited to be building on their protocol.

There are 17 days remaining to the first product-ready Layer 2 EVM compatible zkRollup

Sorry ZK-Frens, but some organized airdrop hunters are spamming our test token faucet with hundreds of requests per minute.
Delays on the testnet are caused by those jerks π‘
Anyone with usually high deposits or transactions will be EXCLUDED from any potential community reward.
The FTX aftermath is just beginning...
Here are the 4 changes the ZKEX team think will take place in the coming weeks and months:
1/ A BIG shift how people trade crypto
2/ Crypto subject to STRICTER regulation
3/ Short-term PAIN
4/ DeFi will WIN in the end

A decentralized money market is a place you can safely borrow and lend crypto without any intermediaries.
Our frens from
@zkLend
came in today to share what they're building ... and we found out they will launch their testnet in a few weeks! π
Without ZKEX, you will be forced to manage stablecoins and assets across DOZENS of L1 chains and L2 rollups.
What an absolute nightmare π±
ZKEX fixes the complexity of a multi-chain world with a single, unified, secure crypto trading DEX.
ETH's entire future is linked to Zero Knowledge Proofs π€
The 'endgame' is a fully SNARKed/STARKed Ethereum that can handle any scale and use case imaginable...
Just imagine what people would build if tech was no longer a limiting factor π€
A LOT happened in the CEX world over the weekend.
Here's our 280-char summary of the so-called CZ vs. SBF war:
- Binance and FTX used to be friends
- Binance is now liquidating its position in FTX tokens
- Unsubstantiated rumours are circulating about the health of FTX

ZKEX is quietly building the industry's most POWERFUL decentralized crypto exchange, with features never seen before on a DEX.
