What Is ZKSpace (ZKS)?

The all-new ZKSpace platform consists of three main parts: ZKSwap, the innovative Layer 2 AMM DEX utilizing ZK-Rollups technology, payment service ZKSquare, and an NFT minting center and marketplace called ZKSea. With an all-new-look user interface, NFT support, unlimited token listing, smoother withdrawal, optimized efficiency, and multi-chain support, ZKSpace aims to implement EVM-compatible ZK-Rollups and bring the community more layer 2-based products in the near future.

Who Are the Founders of ZKSpace?

From the available information, ZKSpace is developed by the L2 Labs Foundation and the lead developer of the project is Alex Lee – a specialist with rich experience in zero knowledge proof research and smart contract development. ZKSpace employs about 20 qualified blockchain developers, many of whom joined the crypto industry in 2013. The team has investors from major Chinese VCs, including Bixin Capital, FBG Capital and Longling Capital.

What Makes ZKSpace (ZKS) Unique?

ZKSpace is an AMM modeled Layer-2 DEX using ZK-Rollups technology – a type of Level-2 scalable solution in the Ethereum network based on zero knowledge proof. Compared to similar solutions, ZK-Rollup highlights a number of advantages: security, cost, transactions per second (TPS) and privacy. The technology reduces the load on the main network by an order of magnitude. This is done by grouping transactions and taking some calculations outside of Ethereum.

ZKSpace is a decentralized project led by the community. The platform benefits are: decentralized, complete control over users’ assets; no authorization requested for transactions, and a highly liquid process while maintaining a stable level of confidentiality; ultra high TPS due to the ZK-Rollup; liquidity providers and users do not have to pay high gas fees.

ZKSpace operates as follows: the protocol is available via the application at zks.app and you need an Ethereum wallet to connect to it. Users trade tokens through Ethereum smart contracts and add assets to the ZKSpace liquidity pool. The ZK-Rollups system bundles and processes user transactions off-chain at Level-2 and then syncs with the main network, eliminating low Ethereum throughput and high fees.

The ZKSpace architecture consists of a front-end user interface (UI), on-chain smart contracts and an off-chain ZKSpace server (includes memory pool, block proposer, state keeper, prover server). The ZKSpace server is the module that handles all off-network transactions.

The technological component is two main developments – Layer-2 server and Plonk zero-knowledge proof system.

Thanks to WebSocket, the ZKSpace server interacts with the platform users and the interface has a transaction tracking function. All approved requests go to the ZKSpace memory pool and are processed by the swap engine. As for the ZKSpace's zero-knowledge proof system, the technology relies on a distribution architecture and side-by-side developments to create evidence, namely the zero-knowledge proof algorithm – Plonk. ZKSpace status tree keeps a record of all account balances in the system.

How Many ZKSpace (ZKS) Coins Are There in Circulation?

ZKS is an ERC-20 token issued by the ZKSpace project with a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. The distribution ratio of ZKS is as follows: 60% to community mining; 15% to the ZKSpace team; 8% to ecosystem developers and ecosystem growth; 6.7% to angel investors; 5.3% to potential A-round investors; 4% to the initial liquidity; 1% to advisors.

ZKS is a major component of the ZKSpace system and can be used in the following scenarios:

Governance. ZKS holders can initiate proposals for updating and improving the protocol. All token holders have the right to vote, so proposals that receive the majority of votes are accepted and the development team takes responsibility for implementation.

Voting/pledge for listing. The platform supports limited trading pairs, except for the pairs set by the ZKSpace team. Holders of ZKS take part in the voting, and furthermore, they have the opportunity to initiate a listing proposal. By gaining a majority of votes, holders can place a coin. Finally, users with a significant amount of ZKS can pledge their tokens for listing.

How Is the ZKSpace Network Secured?

ZKSpace deploys a series of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, which are the key link between Ethereum and the ZKSpace exchange server. They store tokens, update balances and provide a secure environment.

Separately, the liquidity and security of ZKSpace are ensured by the users of the exchange themselves with community mining. Participants in the process receive rewards in ZKS tokens.

Community mining includes: provision of liquidity (Proof-of-Liquidity-Mining or PoL), payment of commissions on the Ethereum network (Proof-of-Gas or PoG), generation of zero-knowledge proofs (Proof-of-ZK-Snarks or PoZK) and trading on ZKSpace (Proof-of-TransFee or PoT).

On top of that, ZKSpace implements ZKS staking (smart contract staking). The Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism is actively involved in this procedure. Through this method, the blockchain confirms transactions and prevents problems. PoS reduces risks of cyber attacks, as the structure deter miners from fraudulent activities.

Where Can You Buy ZKSpace (ZKS)?

The ZKSpace exchange credits ZKS to airdrop and community mining participants. ZKS is also available for trading on major exchanges against other cryptocurrencies, these include: Huobi Global, Gate.io, Uniswap (V2), Poloniex, ProBit and ProBit Global, LBank, BitWell, BitZ, 1inch Exchange, BiKi, CoinTiger, Hotbit, Pionex, Bilaxy, HitBTC, Huobi Indonesia, CoinW, TokenIon, WBF Exchange, MEXC, CoinBene and Jubi.
