# Mes Protocol By [Untitled](https://paragraph.com/@0xd4beb1e7d13d593f73feb34a99ed6e1c88973185) ยท 2022-12-08 --- Mes Protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that is powered by the zkRollup technology. This allows it to operate on the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain known as zkSync. This means that Mes Protocol is able to provide users with the fast and efficient trading experience that is typically associated with centralized exchanges (CEX), but with the security and decentralization of a DEX. One of the key features of Mes Protocol is its orderbook-based design. This allows users to easily view the current buy and sell orders on the platform and make informed decisions about their trades. Additionally, the platform uses a unique auction mechanism to match buyers and sellers, ensuring that trades are conducted in a fair and transparent manner. Mes Protocol is currently in the testnet phase, but the team behind the project has ambitious plans for the future. They aim to provide users with access to a wide range of assets, including cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other digital assets. They also plan to offer a range of tools and features to help traders manage their portfolios and make informed decisions about their trades.
