Zenlink is an underlying cross-chain DEX protocol based on Polkadot and is committed to becoming the DEX composable hub of Polkadot. By accessing the ultimate, open, and universal cross-chain DEX protocol based on Substrate, Zenlink DEX Protocol enables all parachains to build DEX and achieve liquidity sharing in one click. Zenlink DEX Protocol includes Module, WASM, and EVM implementations, which are flexible and adaptable, allowing for customizable compositions and interoperability with different DeFi modules.

In addition, the Zenlink DEX Aggregator connects all DEX DApps on Polkadot and aggregates liquidity, providing a low slippage trading experience for users. Zenlink DEX Composable Hub enables developers to access the Zenlink DEX Module to build their own unique DEXs, forming a DEX composable hub for the Polkadot ecosystem.

Zenlink DEX Network architecture can be described as follows:

Zenlink DEX Protocol is an underlying cross-chain DEX protocol based on Substrate, which includes Module, WASM, and EVM implementations.
Zenlink DEX Module is a module that can be inserted into parachain code through Pallet. The module will be integrated into parachains, so that they can directly have the basic functions of DEX without repeated development, such as Swap, creating transaction pairs, adding/removing liquidity, etc.; at the same time, it can also share liquidity with all parachains integrated with Zenlink DEX Module.
Zenlink DEX WASM refers to the version of the WASM contract written with ink! Pallet. The advantage of this implementation is that the smart contract can be compiled and deployed to the parachain ink! module, instead of modifying the source code of the parachain. WASM is the native contract implementation in the Polkadot network and is the primary contract deployment method of the future, and the Zenlink DEX WASM version has the ability to be deployed to the WASM contract parachain for the first time.
Zenlink DEX EVM is a contractual deployment mode to achieve compatibility with the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), and it is also a transition scheme adopted by the Polkadot network in the initial stage. The Zenlink DEX EVM version implements all the functions of the protocol layer, complements the perfect testing process, and can be deployed to the EVM contract parachain for the first time, which greatly expands the applicability of the platform.
Zenlink DApp is a front-end interactive product based on Zenlink DEX Protocol to facilitate users to use cross-chain DEX without awareness.
Zenlink Network Token (ZLK) is the native token of the Zenlink network, serving the participants of the entire Zenlink DEX network. It provides a fair and transparent governance mechanism and a reasonable means of value capture and is used to motivate eco-users to participate in the network development in the long term.

The ZenlinkDAO Governance Committee will have a number of initial governance member seats, one of which will be held by the Zenlink Foundation. The Zenlink Foundation will select the initial holders of the remaining seats and will seek diversified representatives, including key community members, strategic partners, and investors committed to building Zenlink. In the future, the committee will guide ZenlinkDAO to gradually turn into a completely decentralized organization.
