BlockBeats News, September 29 — The Perp DEX sector has recently seen fierce competition, with Aster's trading volume once surpassing the leading Hyperliquid. The rising star ApeX has also rapidly emerged, with its native token APEX surging over 150% within 24 hours on the 27th, attracting a large influx of trading capital. ApeX's 30-day Perp DEX market share is now reported at 1.50%. Coupled with its relatively low valuation, there is significant potential for further growth. The core driver behind APEX's rally is the underlying aggregated Rollup infrastructure, zkLink X. zkLink X is specifically designed for high-performance trading dApps, utilizing a customized zkVM trading chain optimized for order book and perpetual contract scenarios, balancing low latency, low cost, and secure settlement. With seamless cross-chain state synchronization and liquidity aggregation capabilities spanning both L1 and L2 ecosystems, it addresses the issue of fragmented liquidity, allowing both developers and traders to experience the convenience of an almost "single-chain" environment. In the current fiercely competitive Perp DEX market dominated by Hyperliquid, Aster, Lighter, and others, infrastructure has become the key to victory. The collaborative evolution of ApeX and zkLink is fully demonstrating the potential of next-generation infrastructure in DeFi to unleash scalability, cross-chain liquidity, and sustainable growth, positioning itself as a strong contender capable of challenging top perpetual protocols.
