Zenlink will build a unified and universal cross-chain DEX protocol, Zenlink DEX Protocol, which includes Module, WSAM and EVM implementations, where each parachain can build a DEX with its own characteristics by accessing Zenlink DEX Module, thus forming the Polkadot ecosystem’s DEX Composable hub of Polkadot ecosystem. For example, it can be integrated with privacy parachains to build privacy DEXs, etc.

About Zenlink

Zenlink is an underlying cross-chain DEX protocol based on Polkadot, and is committed to become the DEX composable hub of Polkadot. By accessing the ultimate, open and universal cross-chain DEX protocol based on Substrate, Zenlink DEX Protocol enables all parachains to build DEX and achieve liquidity sharing in one click. Zenlink DEX Protocol includes Module, WSAM, and EVM implementations, which are flexible and adaptable, allowing for customizable compositions and interoperability with different DeFi modules.

In addition, the Zenlink DEX Aggregator connects all DEX DApps on Polkadot and aggregates liquidity, providing a low slippage trading experience for users.
