ZK Trinity Summit 2025: Ending with a Bang
The ZK Trinity Summit, held on 18 December in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, concluded with strong momentum and an unmistakable signal:
privacy-first infrastructure is no longer optional — it is becoming foundational.
With close to 700 registrations, the summit brought together a rare mix of Web3 and Web2 key leaders, including founders, C-level executives, chain representatives, investors, and operators from across the region. The energy throughout the event reflected a shared belief that the next phase of crypto growth will be driven by real infrastructure, real adoption, and real execution.
A special thanks goes to ZBA (ZK3 Business Association) for doing an outstanding job gathering such a high-caliber group of participants and aligning the ecosystem around meaningful conversations rather than hype.
ZBA: From Advocacy to Real Outcomes
Beyond hosting events, ZBA continues to play an active role in bringing practical solutions to projects looking to launch new DEXs powered by ZK3.
ZBA supports founders by connecting all critical pieces needed to build and scale:
- L1 and L2 ecosystem support
- Access to investors and venture capital
- Events and ecosystem exposure
- Go-to-market and marketing coordination
Within just two months, through ZBA’s advocacy and ecosystem alignment, more than 20 new DEXs powered by ZK3have already been launched or are currently in development. This rapid adoption reflects growing confidence in privacy-preserving, performance-driven DEX infrastructure.
Competing Together, Not Against Each Other
One message was repeated consistently throughout the summit:
We are not here to compete with one another.
We are here to take market share from outdated AMM DEXs.
The shared goal across builders and ecosystem partners is to deliver a materially better trading experience — one that improves on both traditional AMM DEXs and centralized exchanges by offering:
- Better execution and performance
- Stronger privacy guarantees
- Non-custodial security
- A user experience that feels familiar to CEX users
This is not fragmentation of the market — it is collective upgrading of the DEX landscape.
A Strong Finish — and What Comes Next
The ZK Trinity Summit ended not just as an event, but as a clear checkpoint for where the industry is heading. Privacy, performance, and collaboration are no longer future narratives — they are active priorities today.
And now, the question becomes:
Where will the next ZK Trinity Summit be held?
Wherever it is, we hope to see you there — building the next phase of privacy-first crypto infrastructure together.
