What is ZKX?

ZKX is a decentralized perpetual swap trading platform that uses ZK-Rollups technology to provide transparency, security, and scalability. It is the first platform to introduce the concept of gamification to the DeFi world, offering users not only the ability to trade, but also to participate in contests, join clans, and earn rewards. ZKX is based on the idea of gamification of cryptocurrency trading, making the process not only profitable but also fun. Launching on the mainnet in Q1 2024, ZKX opened a new chapter in ZKX’s history by introducing the world to OG Trade Clans, a unique concept that divides users into clans based on their history and activity in DeFi.

One of the most unique features of ZKX is the introduction of clans in OG Trade. These clans are not just groups or communities; they represent different strategies, histories, and levels of involvement in the ZKX ecosystem and more broadly in the world of DeFi. Users are classified into one of four clans based on their history in DeFi, and each clan has its own hierarchy, criteria for joining, and reward mechanisms.
So, there are four clans in the world of ZKX: DeFi High Rollers, Ethereum Titans, Pachinko Degens, and Yakuza Barons. Each clan has its own unique role in the ecosystem and offers different benefits to its members.
And now I want to tell you more about each clan.

DeFi High Rollers

This clan is made for true risk takers, people who are not afraid to invest in new ideas and strategies. This clan is for those who are not afraid to take risks and are always looking for opportunities to maximize their profits. High Rollers are the masters of the market, whose activity in DeFi testifies to their skills and willingness to go to any lengths to achieve high results.

Ethereum Titans

Titans are pioneers of the cryptocurrency world, with a long and successful history of working with Ethereum. They have significant influence in the decentralized world and use their power to support and develop the ZKX ecosystem.
The clan is for those who have been with Ethereum since the beginning. These members hold significant influence and expertise in the decentralized world.

Pachinko Degens

Named after the Japanese game pachinko, these members are on the third rung of the hierarchy. They are active users of cryptocurrencies, attracted by the prospect of quick and significant winnings. These users are true crypto lovers who live for excitement and profit. They are not afraid to try their luck and are always ready for new challenges. The clan’s name is inspired by the Japanese Pachinko slot machines, highlighting their playful nature.

Yakuza Barons

Barons recognize those who have contributed to ZKX from the beginning. These are early supporting users whose dedication and contributions have directly contributed to the growth and success of the platform.

How do clans work?
Belonging to a clan is determined by the user’s history of actions in the DeFi network. Joining clans is carried out on the basis of the principle “first in, first in,” which stimulates activity and involvement in the ZKX ecosystem. Participants can verify their affiliation by connecting their L1 wallet, after which exclusive clan NFTs will be available to them.

Clan membership not only brings a sense of belonging and unique NFTs, but also provides access to exclusive rewards on the OG Trade platform and entitles you to participate in Airdrop 2.0, which will distribute 12.1% of the total $ZKX token supply. In addition, to stimulate activity on the platform in the first two months after launch, 7 million $ZKX tokens were allocated to the mainnet. Participation in clans and fulfillment of certain conditions entitles you to participate in the second phase of the ZKX Retroactive Airdrop, as well as receive $ZKX tokens as part of the trading incentives allocated for the first two months after launch.
In addition, having a reward system even for those who do not win competitions underscores ZKX’s commitment to making the platform as inclusive and democratic as possible. It’s not just a trading platform; this is a community where everyone can find their place and have a chance to succeed.
Clans in OG Trade are not just a way to classify users. It is a mechanism for creating a strong community united by common interests and goals. Each clan has its own unique characteristics and offers members not only the opportunity to earn rewards, but also to become part of something bigger.

The introduction of clans to ZKX OG Trade underlines the team’s desire to create a platform where each user not only trades, but also contributes to the development of the ecosystem, communicates with like-minded people and enjoys the process. This is truly a new era in the world of cryptocurrencies and DeFi.

ZKX doesn’t just innovate in the world of cryptocurrencies; they are reimagining the very approach to trading and participation in DeFi. The OG Trade Clans system is a prime example of how you can combine exciting gamification with real opportunities to earn money and participate in the ecosystem.

Yakuza Barons
A clan for early ZKX members, those who contributed to the development of the platform from the very beginning. They have a special place in the ecosystem and have unique rewards.
