On March 11, 2024, ZKBase launched the ZKSwap(Bitcoin) V0.1 testnet, a pioneering decentralized exchange (DEX) supporting BRC20 assets. It aims to redefine efficiency, security, and scalability paradigms within the Bitcoin network.
Key Features: The ZKSwap(Bitcoin) testnet DEX utilizes multisig asset management and future ZK technology enhancements for improved security and efficiency. It facilitates the exchange between Bitcoin and BRC20 assets, overcoming the transaction speed and high fee barriers on the Bitcoin network. Compared to on-chain Bitcoin transactions, ZKSwap significantly reduces transaction costs and offers faster confirmation times, achieving near-instant transaction confirmations.

Future Plans: ZKBase plans to introduce more asset protocols such as Atomicals, Stamps, Runes, etc., to enrich the platform’s tradable asset types. Additionally, efforts are underway to integrate mainnet asset issuance with layer 2 trading mechanisms, reducing barriers between the mainnet and layer 2 while gradually enhancing asset management security levels.
