<h3>Hong Kong, Hong Kong, October 24th, 2023, Chainwire</h3>
<a href="https://fulcrom.finance/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Fulcrom Finance</a>, the largest perpetual trading protocol on the Cronos blockchain, incubated by Cronos Labs, announced a major multi-chain upgrade, expanding its platform to the zkSync Era layer-2 protocol. In less than a week following the launch, Fulcrom Finance grew to become one of the top decentralized applications on zkSync Era in terms of total value locked.

<a href="https://fulcrom.finance/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Fulcrom Finance</a> has emerged as the leading perpetual exchange on Cronos for pro traders since its initial launch in Feb. 2023, with its focus on low slippage, minimal fees and 75x leverage. It has been hugely successful, accruing a total trading volume of more than $500 million.

To accelerate its growth and support its existing community of stakers, Fulcrom announced its expansion to zkSync Era on Oct. 5. Rather than launch a separate protocol, Fulcrom bridged 2.4 billion $FUL tokens from Cronos to zkSync Era to support its presence there – a move that will benefit users on both chains. <a href="https://zksync.io/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">zkSync Era</a> is a layer-2 protocol that scales Ethereum with cutting-edge zero-knowledge technology to preserve its foundational values of freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralization. It aims to achieve hyper-scalability, security, UX, and community ownership, and has been backed by more than 200 projects.

Fulcrom’s decision to collaborate with zkSync Era is the vision of a multi-chain future which is shared by Cronos and Fulcrom. The move will help to reshape the derivatives trading landscape by creating unprecedented opportunities for traders. By launching on zkSync Era, Fulcrom will accelerate value accrual for $FUL token holders. As it grows its user base beyond Cronos, $FUL stakers on both blockchains will benefit from the influx of trading activity.

The integration with zkSync Era has hit the ground running, as Fulcrom rose rapidly to become one of the top dApps on the platform in TVL (with more than $750K assets under management) within just five days of its launch. The launch has increased Fulcrom’s trading volume on both platforms to over $500 million, while there has been <a href="https://dappradar.com/dapp/fulcrom-finance?range-ds=30d&amp;range-ha=3m" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">a 36% increase</a> in the number of unique active wallets interacting with the protocol in the last 30 days. One of the key reasons for Fulcrom’s flying start is its partnership with Syncswap, the top DEX on zkSync Era, enabling it to access the liquidity of that platform.

To celebrate its launch on zkSync Era, Fulcrom has announced the creation of <a href="https://twitter.com/FulcromFinance/status/1709886300680261936" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">a $100k rewards pool</a> that will be distributed to traders between now and Jan. 5 2024, based on their trading volume.

“Fulcrom Finance shares the same foundational values of freedom, self-sovereignty and decentralization with zkSync Era, and is committed to leveraging ZK-proofs to increase user privacy and enhance speed and scalability. By bridging a significant portion of $FUL tokens, Fulcrom will grow its trading volume and significantly increase the rewards generated by token holders on both Cronos and zkSync Era,” said Martin Alastair, Product Lead at Fulcrom Finance.

In recent weeks, Fulcrom’s platform has matured to attain parity with the industry’s leading DeFi protocols. Today’s announcement comes hot on the heels of last month’s <a href="https://twitter.com/FulcromFinance/status/1698214252883128482?s=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">launch of TradeSquare</a>, a new social trading feature that allows users to discover the top traders on its platform and follow their trades.
