Vessel, with a $10 million seed funding round, is developing a comprehensive DeFi layer 3 to explore ZK solutions and address challenges like liquidity fragmentation and cross-chain compatibility. The crypto industry faces a dilemma between efficiency and transparency, with CEXs offering speed but lacking transparency, and DEXs providing visibility but with slower processes. ZK-proof technology resolves this by ensuring transparency and efficiency through off-chain computation packed into SNARK proofs. Vessel Finance, a ZK-powered exchange, merges DEX reliability with CEX speed while maintaining user asset custody. The platform offers spot trading and plans for perpetual contracts and derivatives. Vessel's hybrid model, VAELOB, combines AMM pools with limit order books to enhance liquidity and fee potential. The platform's L3 network will enhance user experience and security with ZK-proofs, aiming to transform DeFi by combining CEX and DEX features for fast, secure transactions.
