Founded in March 2021, zkLink Labs is solving Ethereum fragmentation for the community through its aggregated rollup solutions; zkLinkNova network & zkLinkX . By leveraging Ethereum’s security features, zkLink aggregates rollups by unifying tokens across Ethereum L2s. The project is backed by CBVentures and Arrington Capital among other notable backers. zkLink Nova, the pioneering Layer 3 network developed by zkLink Labs, has been unifying liquidity across Ethereum Layer 2s and addressing fragmentation since its inception in March 2024. It has since witnessed exponential growth, standing out as the leading Layer 3 network in terms of TVL, boasting integrations with over 100 ecosystem partners. One of Novas groundbreaking achievements is asset aggregation, enabling users to deposit native assets from diverse networks onto the Nova platform for seamless cross-chain asset trading. The token merge initiative led by the zkLink team seeks to streamline tokens of equivalent value from various networks into single tokens on Nova.Thus, enhancing usability and liquidity of tokens such as Ethereum, Wrapped Bitcoin and Stablecoins within the Nova ecosystem.
