Zircuit Partners with Ocelex: New MetaDEX Propels DeFi Growth on Zircuit

Ocelex is about to be officially launched on the Zircuit platform, serving as a core part of MetaDEX and the liquidity layer. Zircuit is a Layer 2 ecosystem based on zkEVM, focusing on scalability and security by design. Ocelex focuses on efficient capital innovation, a community-driven participation model, and sharing 100% of revenue with token holders, aiming to create a transparent and inclusive DeFi environment.
Zircuit's infrastructure incorporates an AI-driven sorter security mechanism, providing robust support for decentralized applications. Recent major developments, such as the ZRC token generation event (TGE), have further attracted attention to this ecosystem from the outside world.
Ocelex's launch will leverage this momentum to become the primary decentralized exchange platform on Zircuit, with a focus on driving liquidity, accessibility, and growth in the DeFi space.
Ocelex: The First Lynex Extension Project
As the first branded extension project of Lynex, a leading liquidity protocol on Linea, Ocelex is built on Lynex's mature foundation. Lynex has achieved over $3.5 billion in trading volume and distributed $7.5 million in revenue to token holders, making it one of the top-performing ve(3,3) DEXes. Ocelex continues this tradition by introducing Automated Liquidity Management (ALM) aggregation, simplifying liquidity management through automated strategies. This approach effectively reduces risks like impermanent loss while ensuring stable returns for liquidity providers (LPs).
Strategic Partnerships and Pre-Launch Momentum
Prior to its official launch, Ocelex has established key strategic partnerships and achieved a substantial TVL. These partners include:
· EtherFi, Kelp, and Renzo: Providing Liquidity Re-Staking Tokens (LRTs).
· Lido and StakeStone: Supporting Liquidity Staking Tokens (LSTs).
· StakeStone and Elara: As two leading money market protocols, ensuring seamless integrated liquidity movements for users.
The strong performance of Ocelex highlights its potential key role in driving growth within the Zircuit ecosystem. Currently, its TVL has reached $4.6 million, with a total trading volume of $13.3 million, establishing a solid foundation in the DEX space.
Community-Centric Strategy
Ocelex continues Lynex's community-centric strategy, prioritizing airdrop activities to ensure alignment with long-term interests. 45% of Ocelex's initial supply will be airdropped to Lynex veLYNX holders who have locked their tokens for one year or more. This strategy not only rewards loyal participants but also promotes ecosystem stability. Locking history of veLYNX has historically been one of the most stable yield options in the ve(3,3) protocol, and Ocelex aims to continue this trend.
Public Sale Imminent
Ocelex's public sale will start on December 9 at 10:00 UTC, lasting for 60 hours and utilizing a Dutch auction format. This auction mechanism, with a descending price from high to low, ensures fairness in market pricing, starting at $0.30 with a minimum price of $0.06.
Sale Details:
· Sale Token Amount: 2,000,000 OCX (2% of the initial supply).
· Minimum Price: $0.06 | Starting Price: $0.30.
After the sale, the TGE will commence, marking the start of liquidity mining and distributing tokens to pre-sale users and airdrop recipients.
For full details on the public sale, please refer to this article or watch the related short video.
Ocelex Public Sale Expectation
Ocelex's Dutch auction public sale will have its valuation and starting price determined by the market, starting at $0.30 and then gradually decreasing linearly to $0.06.
As recipients of the governance token airdrop will receive 50% of the initial supply, a higher sale price will also benefit community members. With Ocelex becoming the hot topic of the next-generation ve(3,3) DEX on Zircuit, this auction is expected to be highly competitive, following the successful path of Lynex, Aerodrome, and Thena.
Ocelex's Growth Potential
Ocelex is poised to achieve a significant TVL on the Zircuit network. The current TVL on the Zircuit network has exceeded $2.5 billion, and Ocelex's growth potential can be predicted based on the success stories of other ve(3,3) protocols:
· Aerodrome: Holds 41.56% ($1.6 billion) of the $3.85 billion TVL on the Base network, with an FDV of $2.5 billion. If Ocelex achieves a similar share, the TVL could reach as high as $1.039 billion.
· Lynex: Holds 4.7% ($23.2 million) of the $494 million TVL on the Linea network, with an FDV of $29 million. If Ocelex performs similarly, its TVL could reach $117.5 million.
· Thena: Holds 1.47% ($85 million) of the $5.8 billion TVL on the BNB Chain, with an FDV of $565 million. If Ocelex reaches a similar level, its TVL could be $36.75 million.
Ocelex Key Metrics Prediction
· Optimistic Scenario: TVL reaches $1.039 billion (41.56% share).
· Neutral Scenario: TVL reaches $117.5 million (4.7% share).
· Under conservative estimates: TVL reached $36.75 million (1.47% share).
Ocelex's FDV ranges between $6 million and $30 million, providing early participants with an attractive undervalued opportunity compared to Aerodrome's $2.5 billion FDV or Thena's $565 million FDV.
The DeFi Future of Ocelex and Zircuit
Ocelex combines Lynex's successful model with Zircuit's technical infrastructure to become a key player in DeFi activities. With strong pre-launch momentum, strategic partnerships, and a focus on community collaboration, Ocelex is poised to bring value and scalability to users and the broader DeFi ecosystem.
About Ocelex
