battles of perpetual futures, leveraging its appchain to deliver
unparalleled scalability and high-speed APIs.
They launched their native token, $ZKX, on KuCoin, Gate.io, and

community members to shape the direction of the protocol alongside
the team.

launched ZKX with the goal of making DeFi accessible and social.
Today, we celebrate a major milestone with the launch of the $ZKX
token. This token isn't just a digital asset; it’s a way to reward
the incredible contributions from our community members, users, and

our investors who believe in our vision. This milestone marks the
beginning of a transformative year for ZKX and our users.”
