Exchange

The Exchange is the centerpiece of zkAster — a privacy-first decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows anyone to swap assets cross chain, without connecting a wallet or revealing personal data. It combines the simplicity of a one-tap Web2 interface with the security and anonymity of zero-knowledge architecture.

Key characteristics:

• Privacy-First by Design No wallet connection, no KYC, and no invasive tracking. Every swap is processed through privacy-preserving routes that minimize data exposure and metadata retention.

• Simple Fixed-Rate Swaps Perform quick and predictable exchanges with fixed rates from trusted liquidity partners. Users can swap assets like BNB, USDT, and other supported tokens across multiple chains.

• Low Fees, High Efficiency Built on cost-efficient networks such as Base and BNB Chain to ensure minimal transaction fees and maximum accessibility for everyday users.

• Non-Custodial Architecture zkAster never holds your private keys or funds. Transactions are executed directly between users and liquidity partners in a secure, trust-minimized way.

• Zero-Knowledge Roadmap The Exchange will progressively integrate privacy pools, stealth addresses, and relayers, enabling fully private and unlinkable transactions powered by zk-proofs.

• Transparent Yet Private Real-time rates and order tracking keep users informed, while the system ensures that no one — not even zkAster’s backend — can reconstruct user identities or balances.

The zkAster Exchange is where privacy meets usability — a DEX that feels like Web2 but runs on cryptographic privacy and decentralization principles. It’s built for those who want to trade freely, securely, and anonymously — without sacrificing convenience.
