London, UK, September 25th, 2025, Chainwire
Forknet today announced the official mainnet launch of its Layer 2 solution, developed in collaboration with Polygon Labs and built on the Agglayer framework. Forknet is designed to address liquidity challenges in decentralized finance by providing an integrated environment for trading and yield-bearing assets.
The DeFi landscape has often faced fragmentation, with liquidity dispersed across multiple protocols and chains. Forknet is designed to address this challenge by creating a unified environment for DeFi yield-bearing assets and advanced trading activities.
Forknet Key Features
The vision for Forknet has been to address liquidity challenges in DeFi and provide a more seamless, efficient experience. This has been pursued through two core innovations:
Vault Bridge: Unleashing Yield-Bearing Asset Liquidity
- The Vault Bridge on Forknet enables yield-bearing assets to be bridged from various chains and protocols onto the Layer 2 network. Once on Forknet, these assets can be used without unbonding periods or complex transfer processes. This allows capital to remain active and accessible for deployment in new strategies or trading.
Reactor.Trade: The Next Evolution of Decentralized Exchange
- Forknet introduces Reactor.Trade, an integrated order book and perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) designed to utilize liquidity within the network.
Reactor.Trade incorporates elements of traditional finance while operating with the transparency and security of blockchain. Its features include:
- Blazing-Fast Execution: Leveraged by Forknet's L2 architecture, trades on Reactor.Trade are executed with incredible speed and efficiency, eliminating the frustrating delays often found on other DEXs.
- Deep Liquidity: With the Vault Bridge feeding a constant stream of yield-bearing assets into the ecosystem, Reactor.Trade benefits from unparalleled liquidity, leading to tighter spreads and better price execution for users.
- Sophisticated Trading Tools: Whether you're a spot trader or looking to engage in perpetual futures, Reactor.Trade offers a robust suite of tools designed to meet the demands of even the most discerning traders.
- Capital Efficiency: By integrating yield-bearing assets directly into the trading environment, users can leverage their existing positions for trading, unlocking new levels of capital efficiency.
The Power of Collaboration: Polygon Labs and Agglayer
Forknet has been developed in collaboration with Polygon Labs, whose expertise in Layer 2 development and focus on scalability supported the project’s objectives. Built on the Agglayer framework, Forknet incorporates a foundational layer of security, interoperability, and scalability designed to provide a stable and reliable platform.
But the Agglayer's value extends far beyond just foundational support. It ushers in a new era of interconnected DeFi, creating a wide family of chains that allows users to leverage the unique strengths and perks of each chain without ever leaving the Agglayer ecosystem. The Agglayer enables interaction with multiple specialized chains, each designed for specific purposes, through a single interface.
For Forknet, this means frictionless liquidity swaps and access to tools without borders. Consider Katana, a leading yield-bearing chain within the Agglayer family, specifically designed for users to employ their assets for optimized returns. Through the Agglayer, Katana provides a direct gateway to established protocols like Sushiswap AMM.
This interconnectedness significantly amplifies Forknet's value proposition:
- Enhanced Liquidity Pools: Assets bridged to Forknet via the Vault Bridge can seamlessly interact with liquidity from other Agglayer chains like Katana, leading to deeper and more robust liquidity pools for trading on Reactor.Trade.
- Diverse Yield Opportunities: Users on Forknet aren't limited to Forknet-specific yield strategies. They can effortlessly tap into the specialized yield opportunities offered by chains like Katana, all within the same Agglayer experience. This means more options for optimizing returns on their yield-bearing assets.
- Wider Access to Tools: The Agglayer transforms Forknet into a hub, allowing its users to access an even broader array of DeFi tools and services present across the entire Agglayer network, truly breaking down the silos of individual blockchains.
- Streamlined User Experience: The "multiple chains, single UI" paradigm means less complexity and a more intuitive experience for users. Bridging, swapping, and deploying capital across the Agglayer family becomes a unified process, removing the friction traditionally associated with multi-chain DeFi.
The Agglayer supports Forknet by expanding its reach and utility, contributing to a more liquid and interconnected DeFi environment where users can access resources across the wider ecosystem.
Forknet Mainnet Launch
The mainnet launch of Forknet represents a milestone in the development of DeFi infrastructure. The platform is now available for developers, traders, and liquidity providers to access and explore its features.
Key features of Forknet include:
- Liquidity support for yield-bearing assets
- High-performance and capital-efficient trading
- Access to a scalable and interconnected DeFi ecosystem
Further information, documentation, and community resources are available on the Forknet website.
