zkLink is a cross-chain decentralized exchange that utilizes zero-knowledge rollups (zk-rollups) technology.

What is zkLink?
zkLink is a layer 2 network that uses zero-knowledge technology to connect blockchains together. zkLink allows developers and users to leverage unified liquidity from isolated chains providing a secure and seamless user experience. Additionally, zkLink ignores the differences between stablecoins on different blockchains, allowing for multi-chain liquidity aggregation that creates a massive stablecoin liquidity pool with controlled debt mechanisms on a large scale.

Highlights
Combine Zero Knowledge proofs with Zero Security Compromise
Zero knowledge proofs are algorithms born to ensure that transactions are executed correctly, cannot be changed or faked to help ensure the safety of users.

Thanks to the availability of data on zk-rollup, account status is always recoverable in the event of an attack, even if data on the zkLink Layer2 Engine is lost.

Zk technology ensures that no one can send fake zk-proof to the main chain

Strong consensus mechanism
An independent oracle network ensures consistent multi-chain state. This separation of powers during verification ensures that neither party is given too much power to directly manipulate or defraud the assets.

Design checks and balances protect zkLink from attacks from outside and inside the system through the division of power between hackers and actors. No one will hold too much power.
