Plasm gets first parachain slot for Rococo V1
In our latest weekly report, we shared that Plasm has successfully connected to Rococo V1 locally. We have another exciting news to share with you today! Plasm immediately became the first parachain on Rococo V1, that is, the first parachain of the Polkadot parachain test network! This is an important step for Plasm Network to officially become a Polkadot parachain. Also our first win of 2021 for all of us!
2020 has been a great year for Plasm, with multiple lockdrops, more than 16,000 ETH locked in Plasm's smart contracts within two months, and multiple grants from the Web3 Foundation to develop ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups.

Plasm CEO Sota said that after rigorous testing of Rococo V1, they believe that Polkadot has almost completed the code base function for Parachain.
Plasm will integrate Zenlink DEX Module
Zenlink is a cross-chain decentralized transaction network based on Polkadot. Zenlink itself does not need to bid for Polkadot parachain slots. By integrating the Zenlink DEX Module on the parachain, the Polkadot parachain quickly has DEX capabilities and can share liquidity with other parachains, and the Zenlink DEX aggregator All DEX DApps on Polkadot can be linked.
On January 8, Zenlink, the Polkadot ecological cross-chain DEX agreement, announced a strategic cooperation with the Polkadot smart contract parachain Plasm Network. Expand Cooperation. And after Plasm is successfully connected to Rococo V1, Zenlink will integrate the DEX Module into the Plasm Network to conduct cross-chain transaction test cases between parallel chains.
As a scalable DApp platform based on Substrate in the Polkadot ecosystem, Plasm Network will also deploy DEX front-end interactive products to Plasm Network Layer 2 in the future.
