More Protocols To Join zkSync Era

ZkSync Era, which was released in March 2023, harnesses the power of zero-knowledge rollups to make it possible for individuals to conduct transactions on Ethereum at faster rates and for reduced fees.

More than two hundred projects, such as Chainlink, SushiSwap, Uniswap, AaveAave, Argent, Gnosis and Curve Finance indicated an interest in deploying on the blockchain when zkSync was still in its development phases. Following Era’s beta release, more such DeFi protocols are anticipated to launch on the network in the near future.

In the wake of this crypto news, the price of 1inch token is currently exchanging hands at $0.52, which represents a gain of 0.10% over the past 1 hour in contrast to a drop of 2.50% recorded over the last 24 hours.
