TechFlow News, ZKX, a derivatives trading protocol in the StarkNet ecosystem, has announced the launch of the ZKX Appchain, aiming to provide traders with CEX-level performance and DEX-grade security. As a full-chain layer, this appchain will connect multiple L1s and rollups, offering users continuous liquidity and interoperability. Key features of the ZKX Appchain include superior performance and scalability, robust risk management, seamless API integration, unified liquidity across multiple L1s and rollups, self-custody, and provable transactions.
At the same time, alongside L2 solutions such as Starknet and zkSync, ZKX Appchain is working toward compatibility with future Rust-based stacks like Substrate, enabling the ZKX appchain to scale via ZK proofs, ordering, and greater decentralization.
In realizing this vision, the following development stages are expected:
-
V1: The ZKX core team will act as validators during mainnet launch;
-
V2: Trusted validators for scalability and high-speed price feeds;
-
V3: Full decentralization and staking for ZKX validators.
