Technical Updates

Preface

Technical updates focus on the following branches: Zenlink DEX Protocol, DEX DApp, and Mega Aggregator.

Zenlink DEX Protocol is the underlying unified and universal cross-chain DEX Protocol, enabling parachains to have DEX functionality and quickly share liquidity with other parachains. Zenlink DEX Protocol includes Module, WASM, and EVM implementations, which are flexible and adaptable, allowing for customizable compositions and interoperability with different DeFi modules.

Zenlink DEX DApp is an interactive front-end product based on Zenlink DEX Protocol to facilitate users using cross-chain DEX without awareness.

Zenlink Mega Aggregator is designed to help users achieve optimal trading results across multiple chains and exchanges by combining off-chain computing and on-chain smart contracts. It will first launch on the Astar Network and then gradually transition to multi-chain.
