The launch of Astar zkEVM on the DEX marks a significant milestone for QuickSwap as it aims to broaden the adoption of Astar Network’s zkEVM chain through its DEX platform. This development is highly anticipated within the dragon community.

Astar zkEVM was conceived as a Supernet with the goal of accelerating the widespread adoption of Web3 in Japan and globally. Built using the Polygon CDK tech stack, Astar zkEVM is a decentralized Ethereum Layer 2 EVM-compatible blockchain designed to facilitate seamless communication and asset transfers across various blockchain networks, including Polygon, Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos, and others.

The Astar Network has experienced rapid growth, boasting a community of over 500,000 members, more than 50 live dApps, and a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $600 million. Additionally, the ecosystem comprises over 500 projects.

The integration of QuickSwap on Astar zkEVM provides the dragon and Astar communities with access to cutting-edge DeFi opportunities on the network. This integration also unveils a new ecosystem and an interconnected network of chains through Astar’s framework, enabling users to participate in swaps, liquidity provision, and yield farming to earn additional rewards.

The introduction of QuickSwap on Astar zkEVM is expected to enhance liquidity across the Polygon ecosystem, contributing to the overall growth of the chain and strengthening the relationship between Astar and Polygon.

QuickSwap serves as a driving force behind the DragonFi 2.0 concept and plays a significant role in the Polygon 2.0 space. As part of the initiative to kickstart activity on Astar zkEVM, Astar Network will launch the Yoki Origins project, offering users the opportunity to engage in social and off-chain gaming activities and earn rewards through QuickSwap participation.
