A pleasure to have you here @ZKSwap_Official. Now there’s a lot of people with questions about ZK Swap, Can you please introduce yourself and give us an introduction about ZK Swap?

We are very eager to learn about your amazing project

ZKSwap Official | ZKSwap:

I am Alex, the Dev lead at ZKSwap. I’ve been working with the team for a long time even before the V1 launch. We are so thrilled to bring the community V2, a grand upgrade of V1.

February 14, 2021 witnessed the birth of ZKSwap V1, a ZK-Rollup-based, Automatic Market Making (AMM) featured Layer2 DEX that offers swap infrastructure and transactions with ultra-high throughput and zero gas fees to liquidity providers and traders. The project is backed by Bixin Capital, SNZ Capital, FBG Capital and Longling Capital, and fully audited by ABDK, CertiK and SlowMist.

In less than 6 months since the V1 launch, ZKSWap has facilitated over $1.7 billion in total value locked, ranking as one of the largest Layer2 decentralized exchanges in the world.

On July 28, we unveiled ZKSwap V2. The v2 launch of ZKSwap comes as the exchange attracts new DeFi users looking for a more cost-efficient way to swap between a wide variety of tokens amid the recent DeFi boom.

Q2.Zkswap is a Zk Rollups based project. What are the advantages of Zk Rollups?
@chigga08854035

ZKSwap Official | ZKSwap:

There are mainly ZK Rollup and Optimistic Rollup in terms of the Rollup technology. ZK Rollup is close to the level of Layer 1 in terms of security, and is therefore regarded as the most promising Layer 2 solution in the future.
Besides, ZK Rollup can achieve finality within a few minutes, and it supports rapid funds withdrawals.

The Optimistic Rollup has a controversial delay time design, which generally takes at least one week.

Car Marz | CryptoBooster:

Thanks a lot for pointing out the technological advantages your platform is deploying.

Let’s move to our third Twitter question.looking at the different versions of your product.

Q3.Compared with the V1 version, what functions and modules have been added or upgraded in this comprehensive upgrade of V2? @Ulrica54492291

ZKSwap Official | ZKSwap:

ZKSwap V2 mainly introduces unlimited token listing, faster withdrawal speed, and personalized fee token settings. Before long, ZKSwap V2 will be deployed across BSC, HECO, and OKChain.

It allows anyone to add any ERC-20 token or create a token pair, and all ERC-20 token and stablecoin transactions on ZKSwap are free and settled in real-time. In the future, we’ll support tokens of any standards to further expand our asset ecosystem.

Importantly, the withdrawal time from Layer2 to Layer1 processed by the smart contract has been directly shortened from 40 minutes to 20 minutes.

Car Marz | CryptoBooster:

Wow, thank you for this.. Impressive improvements from V1 ti V2.. Great stuff!

Q4. At present, NFT market is hot. Zkswap do you intend to participate in NFT market? @rick69052009
