zkLink Reveals Public Registration Date for $ZKL Token

$ZKL token realizes high-performance DeFi through zkLink’s cutting-edge zero-knowledge rollup infrastructure and newly launched Nexus platform zkLink, a trailblazer in the zero-knowledge blockchain sector, today announced the release date for its new token, $ZKL. Following the Community Token Sale on Coinlist, $ZKL will be available to users starting Thursday, January 25, 2024, at 18:00 UTC.

The launch of the $ZKL token, the native utility and governance token for the zkLink protocol, is a significant milestone in zkLink’s mission to eliminate the liquidity fragmentation issues present in the Layer 2 (L2) ecosystem. $ZKL serves as a resource that allows developers to easier access the zkLink rollup infrastructure service, including the zero-knowledge (ZK) proof markets; govern the protocol’s development through the zkLink DAO; and pay for ZK proof computational resources.

“We look forward to presenting the community with an asset that allows them to help shape the zero-knowledge rollup ecosystem’s direction in 2024,” commented Vince Yang, Co-founder, zkLink. “As outlined in our 2024 Technical Roadmap, we have several key developments planned to encourage our community to be more involved in building dApps that enable smoother, lower-cost DeFi experiences.”

The $ZKL token joins the list of native tokens and multi-chain assets across the connected L1s and L2s, including FTs and NFTs that users can trade on a unified user interface. It will be a non-inflationary ERC20 token issued on the Ethereum Mainnet with token supply capped at 1 billion. $ZKL will serve as the default payment token for ZK proof generation services and users can obtain DAO voting rights by staking to obtain veZKL.

Along with announcing the upcoming $ZKL token sale, zkLink recently released details on major upcoming updates to its protocol, highlighted in the 2024 Technical Roadmap. Users can learn more in zkLink’s new whitepaper about how multi-chain ZK-Rollup infrastructure serves as a solution to unify fragmented liquidity across ecosystems and return pricing power to decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
