Technology/Product progress

Notes: Zenlink mainly consists of two core parts: Zenlink DEX Protocol and DApp. Zenlink Protocol will implement a simple, highly versatile and pluggable DEX Module, which can enable parachains to access DEX capabilities after the Module is deployed on the parachain in a plug-and-pull manner; at the same time, we will also create an efficient DEX dedicated cross-chain protocol to realize the liquidity sharing between the DEX Module on different parachains.

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

DEX Protocol

  • Flashloan features have been added to Stable AMM to help eco-projects and developers achieve more flexible and free business scenarios, such as liquidation.
  • The Stable AMM-related smart contracts and code have been submitted to security company PeckShield and are currently in the code audit phase. Once the audit and related modifications are completed, it will be announced to the community as soon as possible.
  • The Zenlink governance system has been discussed and designed. At present, the relevant preliminary research has been basically completed, and some modules have entered the substantive development stage. For more details, please follow Zenlink official announcement and community news.

DEX DApp

  • Integration with Talisman and SubWallet wallet extensions. Users can now interact with both wallets in the Zenlink DEX DApp.
  • X-Transfer quickly supports cross-chain transfers of aUSD and Polkadot native USDT. aUSD (xcAUSD) can now be transferred between Moonriver and Karura via X-Transfer; USDT can be transferred from Statemine to the Moonriver parachain, but not Moonriver back to Statemine at this time. aUSD is a pledged lending stablecoin issued by Acala, while USDT is an anchored stablecoin issued by Tether.
  • At the request of the Acala team, the team completed the update to merge kUSD into aUSD.
  • Fixed compatibility issues caused by some non-standard ERC20 token contracts.
  • Optimized some inter-page routing.

Eco-cooperation progress

  • Zenlink will be working with Moonbeam, Terra, Frax, Multichain, Axelar Network, and Nomad to launch Zenlink Hybrid AMM and the 1st 4pool on Dotsama. They will be the first teams to help and support the initial liquidity, asset bridging, and marketing of Zenlink’s upcoming 4pool.
