Should QuickSwap Launch on Astar Network?

For years now, QuickSwap has become a recognized DEX and leader in the blockchain space and has led the charge for the growth and adoption of the Polygon ecosystem, including Polygon zkEVM and Dogechain.

With the Polygon zkEVM mainnet beta deployed in March 2023, the chain quickly gained recognition and adoption, reaching a peak of ~$35 million by July 2023. As more ZK-powered chains continue to enter the spotlight, their powerful tech infrastructure, scalability, security, interoperability, and speed are completely changing the game.

And while these ZK chains keep expanding their reach, multichain solutions are also beginning to cement themselves as the ethos of DeFi (decentralized finance). When the two come together, it unlocks the potential for even more magic.

Among the heavyweights is Astar Network, a scalable decentralized blockchain that enables communications and the direct flow of assets between Polygon, Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos, and other popular blockchain networks. Astar Network has just announced the launch of their zkEVM network (powered by Polygon CDK), bringing them closer to and more intertwined within the Polygon ecosystem. QuickSwap is aiming to help drive adoption for Astar Network’s zkEVM chain even further, pushing the boundaries of Web3 and beyond for the Polygon network.

This governance proposal is a joint effort from both parties and has been put forth to ask the community if QuickSwap should launch on Astar Network, allowing users to access DeFi features such as swapping, LPing, farming, and more directly on the chain through the DEX’s interface.

TL;DR:

• Polygon ZK-powered infrastructure is starting to go mainstream in the blockchain space, setting a new standard • QuickSwap is asking the dragon community if the DEX should launch on Astar zkEVM, which is Astar Network’s zkEVM infrastructure powered by Polygon CDK that is more interconnected with the Polygon ecosystem • The vote is now live until Tuesday, September 19 at 11:00 AM UTC • Make sure to read the blog post to form an opinion: https://blog.quickswap.exchange/posts/quickswap-governance-discussion-should-quickswap-launch-on-astar-network • Once you've read through the blog, go to the QuickSwap official Discord governance discussion channel and Reddit form to chat with the community and share your opinion
