MES Protocol integrates with zkSync to offer an orderbook-based DEX
We are delighted to announce that we are integrating with zkSync, it is LIVE on zkSync 2.0 Testnet NOW!
About MES Protocol
MES Protocol is the next generation DEX — it is an orderbook-based DEX built on zk-rollups, which allows users on the zk-rollup ecosystem to enjoy a CEX trading experience.
CEX offers intuitive trading experience and various trading functions that are missing on an AMM DEX. MES Protocol brings CEX experience to a DEX; users enjoy security from Ethereum L1, at the same time the high throughput in low cost from L2 rollups.
Why zkSync
MES Protocol runs on zk-rollup, which leverages both the security of Ethereum and scalability that Rollup brings. We build on zkSync 2.0 as it is EVM compatible and its mainnet will be launched soon! Our team is excited to see our product go live on zkSync 2.0’s mainnet!
How to start?
Before you start, please expect to see an imperfect infant (man, you are really an early bird)— so far, only orderbook of ETHUSDT is working, it’s not mobile friendly and you may come across some flaws. If you are ready to visit our early product, let’s follow below to start:
1) Get Goerli ETH: zkSync Testnet runs on Goerli on L1. go to https://goerlifaucet.com/ and key in your address to get 0.05 Goerli ETH (fake testnet ETH);
2) Bridge your Goerli ETH to zkSync: use https://portal.zksync.io/bridge to bridge some ETH to zkSync;
3) Connect to Zksync Alpha Testnet: go to https://app.mesprotocol.com and connect your wallet. Your wallet should prompt you to approve to add the Zksync Alpha Testnet, simply approve and switch to it;
4) Deposit token: you have to deposit token to a ‘vault’ before trading. There is a ‘Deposit’ tab on the right where you can approve and deposit/withdraw token;
5) Trade! : when you have your tokens ready, it’s time to trade!
MES Protocol is still under development, we decided to launch it earlier on Testnet as we treasure much about your feedback. Please let us know your experience at our discord.
About zkSync
zkSync is an open-source Layer-2 blockchain that eliminates Ethereum’s costly gas fees, scaling constraints, and performance barriers using zero-knowledge proofs. Built by a distributed team of leading cryptographers and engineers, zkSync is designed to unlock the full potential of blockchain technology while scaling the core values of Ethereum.
Bootstrapped by initial funding from the Ethereum Foundation, zkSync has powered over 10 million transactions, fuels major web3 applications including Argent and Gitcoin, and recently launched the first EVM compatible zero-knowledge rollup allowing developers to deploy general-purpose applications written in Solidity.
