Recently came across zkLink's new roadmap,

it feels like this is not an ordinary "cross-chain protocol".

What they are aiming for is an AI-driven cross-chain trading network —

no permissions, no protocol fees, direct peer-to-peer,

trading, transferring assets, negotiating prices, all handled automatically by AI.

In simple terms, it aims to make the "cross-chain experience" as smooth as a single chain.

No more switching chains, changing bridges, or running aggregators.

The white paper, PoC testing, and open-sourcing of the protocol will be completed by 2025;

2026 will see the start of global Alpha/Beta testing, focusing on node verification and developer ecosystem.

The zkLink Nova mainnet is already live, capable of aggregating multiple L2 assets.

The backing investment is also strong:

Coinbase Ventures, OKX, Crypto.com, Republic, SIG are all involved.

$ZKL is currently listed on Bybit, Gate, Bitget, Hashkey Global, Coinone.

Currently, there are no flashy narratives or any airdrop topics,

but the product logic is solid:

the protocol comes first, modules follow, and liquidity will be gradually supplemented.

What zkLink aims to achieve is not just a "bridge",

but more like rewriting the way transactions occur between chains.

You can keep an eye on it and see how it unfolds. 👀
