About MERLIN DEX
Merlin is an immutable, permission-less and community centric DEX built on ZkSync with a goal to solve what might be called the “liquidity problem”. We achieve this by creating a liquidity environment that is robust and efficient. Consequently allowing builders and users to leverage our infrastructure for deep & readily accessible liquidity.
Merlin's vision is to surpass current DEX offerings and, as the first of its kind on ZkSync, set a precedent for the standards required to become the beacon of liquidity of this ecosystem and provide 'True Yields'.

Protocol Profile
MERLIN DEX is a DEX — a decentralised exchange where users swap assets against on-chain liquidity pools rather than a central order book. It is deployed on zkSync Era. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).
Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
MERLIN DEX is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on zkSync Era — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
