Eduard Jubany, one of its founders, said the company is determined to build an exchange that breaks down the barriers to using decentralized finance (DeFi). He went on to say, “we’re doing that by building a protocol that enables trading derivatives of assets on StarkNet. Our goal is to expand the reach of ZKX across emerging markets, combining sound technology with a friendly user experience, and an ecosystem that enables users to have fair representation within a DAO.”
