Problem
Current decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms lack the engaging social features found in traditional trading environments, leading to a less interactive and potentially isolating user experience. This absence of community interaction can hinder knowledge sharing, competition, and the overall enjoyment of trading derivatives.

The platform enables gasless trading and self-custodial accounts, empowering users to maintain complete control over their funds. By integrating social features, ZKX allows traders to compete, collaborate, and earn rewards within a decentralized environment. The platform aims to foster a more engaging and interactive trading experience by allowing users to connect with friends and other traders globally.
