zkCross Network

The Next Chapter for zkCross Network: A Message from the Founding Team Hey zkCross Network family, We’ve been quietly building in the background for the past few years, but it’s time for you to hear the story straight from us, the founding team. Until now, others have told our story, but that changes today. From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: to make decentralised finance (DeFi) truly accessible and usable for everyone. We established zkCross Network with this vision in mind. Over the past couple of years, we have made significant progress across multiple blockchains, collaborating closely as an extension of their teams. Our growth has been driven by genuine technology and real revenue, and we have not taken any shortcuts. Here’s what we’ve actually shipped: • zkCrossDEX on Partisia: The first operational AMM DEX on their chain, plus full DeFi infra for the ecosystem. Built everything from scratch for a non-EVM chain. Now we can do this for any L1 or L2 out there. • ICP: Rolled out decentralised bridges, now handling live transactions. • Stellar: Deployed cross-chain DEX infrastructure; Soroban contracts are in audit, public launch soon. • Arbitrum: Delivered bridging and DEX infrastructure, ready for new partners. All this, and over $150 million in on-chain volume from 45,000+ users, all achieved without hype or noise, just pure building. Now, about what’s next: As AI agents gained popularity, we saw a chance to make DeFi more accessible. We integrated agentic AI into our infrastructure, enabling real DeFi operations across EVM and non-EVM chains using zero-knowledge methods. With our SDKs and APIs, anyone can easily build an AI-driven decentralised application (dApp) within days at no upfront cost. Proof-of-AI with SurfLiquid: To prove this wasn’t just talk, we launched SurfLiquid: a fully operational DeFAI platform powered by our own AI agent, “Surf” It’s not a demo, it’s up and running, with over 50 users already earning yield, and it’s all transparent and non-custodial. Surf AI is always on, actively managing funds, learning and adapting in real time to find the best yields. This is the real deal, showing on-chain, what zkCross agentic infra can do. Why now? We’re on the edge of something huge. With regulations like the Genius Act in play, and the next bull run on the horizon, trillions could move into crypto. AI-driven capital is the future of wealth generation. These agents trade faster, compound harder, and never sleep, they will outperform manual trading every single time. About SuperAccounts and our direction: The original plan was to launch Surf as part of SuperAccounts, a non-custodial mobile app for anyone, anywhere, but building that right takes time and investment. It’s still on the roadmap for next year. SurfLiquid came first because we needed to put our work and our story out there, and win the mindshare we haven’t had as a company. We want you, our community, to know: Everything we’ve built so far is the backbone for zkCrossDEX, Surf, SuperAccounts, and everything that’s coming next. We’re not just building infra, we’re laying the tracks for the next generation of DeFi and DeFAI. From now on, expect to hear from us more directly. The era of zkCross as silent builders is over. You’ll see what we’re building, as we build it, and why it matters. Thanks for being on this journey with us, let’s build the future, together. The zkCross Network Founding Team
