### About Asterisk

Asterisk is an AMM protocol that runs on zkSync. As the symbol suggests, it has a structure where a parabolic curve extends amoeba-like from the center, and was chosen as a symbol of the decentralized ecosystem. Many partner protocols are expected to release in the future, and the most primitive protocol located at the center is Asterisk.

### Evolved AMM Protocol

ve(3,3) proposed by Andre Cronje has an excellent Gauge voting system. To encourage voting, anyone can deposit bribes, which creates better competitiveness and profitability. We respect this excellent Gauge voting system and evolve it in our own way. The dedicated core team will engage in improvement activities.
