On February 2nd, the Polkadot ecological cross-chain DEX protocol Zenlink officially reached strategic partnershipwith the Polkadot heterogeneous cross-chain bridge chain Darwinia. The two parties will jointly expand the cross-chain asset transactions in addition to the Polkadot parachain.

Zenlink is a cross-chain decentralized transaction network based on Polkadot. By integrating the Zenlink DEX Module into the parachain, Zenlink can enable the parachain to quickly possess DEX capabilities and realize the sharing of liquidity with other parachains, as well as for users to provide fast and convenient cross-chain asset transactions. But this is only part of Zenlink’s development plan. In the future, Zenlink will realize cross-chain asset transactions with public chains other than Polkadot such as Ethereum, which requiring heterogeneous cross-chain protocols. Darwinia connects Polkadot with other public chains. Constructing a cross-chain agreement, with Darwinia’s powerful heterogeneous cross-chain solution, will further expand the scope of cross-chain asset transactions and promote the prosperity of Polkadot’s DeFi ecosystem.

At the same time, Darwinia itself is also strving to become a Polkadot parachain, and will be connected to Rococo V1 in the third batch. After successfully connecting to Rococo V1, we will also integrate Zenlink DEX Module into Darwinia for cross-chain transaction testing between parachains.

About Darwinia

Darwinia Network is a decentralized cross-chain bridge network building on Substrate, which is the “Golden Gate Bridge” of the cross-chain ecology. It provides the safest general bridge solution, connecting Polkadot, Ethereum, TRON and other heterogeneous chains. Also, its main application areas include Defi, cross-chain NFT trading market, games, etc.

Darwinia Network has won a high reputation and recognition along the way to build the decentralized cross-chain bridge protocol. In 2020, Darwinia was written in Polkadot light-paper as one of the friends of Polkadot and Substrate. And Darwinia was also selected to joined Substrate Builder Program and Web3.0 Bootcamp, and in recognition of Darwinia Network’s outstanding performance in the Substrate Builder Program, Parity officially awarded the Level 2 badge to Darwinia.Products and tools developed by Darwinia won 3 W3F Grants. Polkadot Founder Gavin also highlighted Darwinia as “Projects to watch.”

The Progressive Launch of Darwinia Mainnet has reached the third stage: the bi-directional “Darwinia-Ethereum Bridge.”

About Zenlink

Zenlink is committed to building a new generation cross-chain DEX network. By integrating the Zenlink DEX Module, Zenlink can enable parachains to access DEX capabilities and share liquidity with other parachains quickly; Zenlink DEX aggregator can link all DEX DApps on Polkadot. Users can not only complete the exchange easily and quickly but also enjoy a low slippage transaction experience. ZLK, Zenlink native token, provides a fair and transparent governance mechanism and reasonable value capture methods, which can be used to motivate ecosystem users to participate in network development for a long time.

Zenlink is an important member of the Polkadot ecosystem and is sponsored by the Web3 Foundation. For now, two grants have been delivered successfully. Furthermore, Zenlink has also completed the prototype verification of cross-chain assets trading between Polkadot parachains at 2020–12–12 04:00:00 UTC, which means that the first cross-chain dex user case on Polkadot has been verified successfully based on Zenlink DEX Module and Assets Module.
