📜Vision & Roadmap

Vision

We aim to be a gateway for users and projects to zkSync, which is convenient, fast, secured and sustainable. To be more precise, zkey Aggregator connects users to multiple DEXs on zkSync, accelerating money flow on zkSync, while zkey Launchpad nurturing and launching potential projects on zkSync. In our plan, with the implementation of zkey multiple bridges, zkey Protocol can attract users and assets from other ecosystems moving to zkSync to drive more adoption.

Below is a summary of what zkey Protocol envision:

• To be a gateway for users and projects to zkSync, enhancing and serving the basic core utility of the crypto ecosystem.

• To be the first combination of Aggregator, Launchpad and Bridge with mutual features, bringing triple utility and rewards on just one platform.
