The Ethereum zkRollup project said it is winding down its decentralized exchange as user uptake failed to reach a sustainable level.
Loopring is shutting down its DEX (decentralized exchange), saying the product did not achieve meaningful adoption. The move marks a retreat for one of the earlier Ethereum zkRollup (scaling system using zero-knowledge proofs) projects as competition in on-chain trading has intensified and liquidity has consolidated around larger venues and newer scaling networks.
