Compound Grants Program Application: Compound Gateway Chain Integrate with Zenlink DEX Protocol

Overview

Based on the Compound Gateway Chain(hereinafter called Gateway) ecosystem’s further growth in the future and the rapid development of the Substrate-based blockchain technology, we propose that Gateway integrates with Zenlink DEX Protocol.

Zenlink is committed to building a new generation of cross-chain DEX networks based on Substrated and Rust. By integrating the Zenlink DEX Protocol, Zenlink can enable Substrate-based chains to quickly possess DEX capabilities(assets transfer, exchange, etc.) and quickly share liquidity with other chains.
For now, Zenlink has delivered two implementations: Zenlink DEX Module and Zenlink Smart Contract. They can be running in the runtime environment and ink! Module separately. They are deliverables of the Web3 Foundation Grant as well.

With their help, the Substrate-based chains projects, like Compound Gateway Chain, focus on their own business rather than worry about building a defi ecosystem on their chains.

Benefit

1. Gateway can have DEX capability quickly.

Gateway doesn’t need to implement dex functionality since Zenlink DEX Protocol has two implementations, so it is easy to be integrated. Zenlink has worked with some Polkadot parachains to implement the integration. It’s believed that these experiences will be beneficial to both Compound and Zenlink.

2. Assets on Gateway can be traded immediately.

Based on Zenlink’s AMM model, all the Gateway assets can create trading pairs and then exchange once the integration and deployment are finished.

3. Implementation of bringing peer chain assets into Gateway.

Due to the same framework - Substrate, used by Gateway and Zenlink, it’s possible to complete a light Starport in Zenlink.

Milestone 2 — Implement Gateway Starport in Zenlink DEX Module

  • Estimated Duration: 4 weeks
  • FTE: 2
  • Costs: $16k
Deliverable Specification
Zenlink DEX Module with Gateway Starport A git repository containing the dex module source code which implements the Gateway Starport specification
Tests The code will have proper unit-test coverage to ensure functionality and robustness

Thanks for writing up the proposal @v-van!

As described here, there are two ways to apply for a grant: Rapid Grants (<$125k) and Community Grants ($125k+). Given the desired grant for your proposal is $24k, I’d recommend applying for a Rapid Grant at this link. That way you’ll get a faster response from the grants committee. (Community Grants are for larger grant requests, which warrant feedback from the community; for smaller grants, the committee will do).

The application has been submitted. Please have a look at it.
Thanks!

Received, thanks @v-van! We’ll get back to you very shortly.

Hey @sukernik, any updates?

We’re still reviewing the initial batch of applications. Should have an update for you shortly. Hang tight!
