BlockBeats News, May 19th, zkLink officially released a new roadmap, announcing the creation of a permissionless, zero-protocol-fee peer-to-peer (P2P) AI agent trading network, a significant leap on top of its zero-knowledge proof transaction infrastructure. This network will enable AI agents to autonomously engage in transactions, negotiations, and collaborations without human intervention, and will support cross-chain, cross-platform, high-frequency, low-latency agent economic activities.

According to the roadmap, by 2025, the focus will be on core research and underlying protocol development, including completing the technical whitepaper, validating the cross-chain protocol PoC, open-sourcing the core code of the communication protocol, and collaborating with mainstream public chains. By 2026, it will enter the Alpha and Beta testing phases, expanding from small-scale node validation in closed testing to global public testing, and initiating developer ecosystem construction and protocol economic model validation.

zkLink has previously completed multiple rounds of financing, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, OKX Ventures, Crypto.com Ventures, Republic Crypto, SIG, Arrington Capital, BigBrain Holdings, among others.

ZKL is already listed on major exchanges such as Bybit, Gate.io, Bitget, Hashkey Global, Coinone, and others.
