Ocelex is positioned as a MetaDEX and liquidity layer on Zircuit. Zircuit is a second-layer ecosystem based on zkEVM designed for scalability and security. Ocelex focuses on capital-efficient innovation, community-driven participation, and 100% token holder revenue sharing , aiming to create a transparent and inclusive DeFi environment.
Zircuit’s infrastructure, including AI-driven sorter security, provides a solid foundation for decentralized applications. Recent developments, such as the TGE of the $ZRC token, have drawn attention to the ecosystem. The launch of Ocelex will capitalize on this momentum and establish itself as Zircuit’s primary decentralized exchange, prioritizing liquidity, accessibility, and growth in the DeFi space.
Ocelex is Lynexs first expansion project
As the first franchise extension of Lynex, the leading liquidity protocol on Linea, Ocelex builds on a proven foundation. Lynex has achieved over $3.5 billion in trading volume and distributed $7.5 million in revenue to token holders, making it one of the best performing ve(3, 3) DEXs. Ocelex continues this legacy by introducing Automated Liquidity Management (ALM) aggregation, a feature designed to simplify liquidity management through automated strategies. This approach reduces risks such as impermanent loss while ensuring stable returns for liquidity providers (LPs).
Strategic Partnerships and Pre-Launch
Prior to the official launch, Ocelex has established key partnerships and secured outstanding Total Value Locked (TVL). These partnerships include:
EtherFi, Kelp and Renzo for LRTs (Liquidity Restaking Tokens).
Lido and StakeStone are used for LSTs (Liquid Staking Tokens).
StakeStone and Elara , two leading money market protocols, are integrated to ensure seamless liquidity flows for users.
Ocelex’s strong pre-launch performance highlights its potential to play a key role in the growth of the Zircuit ecosystem. With a current TVL of $4.6 million and total trading volume of $13.3 million, Ocelex has firmly established itself in the DEX category.
A community-centered approach
Ocelex follows Lynexs community-centric strategy of prioritizing long-term interest alignment through airdrops. 45% of Ocelexs initial supply will be airdropped to Lynex veLYNX holders who lock their tokens for a year or more. This approach rewards loyal participants while promoting ecosystem stability. Locking veLYNX has historically provided some of the most stable returns in the ve(3, 3) protocol, and Ocelex aims to replicate this trend.
Upcoming Public Sale
Ocelex’s public sale will begin at 10:00 UTC on December 9 and will be conducted in a Dutch auction format over a period of 60 hours. The auction ensures fair market pricing, with a starting price of $0.30 and gradually decreasing to $0.06.
Key details of sale:
Tokens for sale: 2,000,000 $OCX (2% of initial supply).

Ocelex Public Sales Forecast
Ocelexs Dutch auction public sale lets the market determine its valuation and launch price, starting at $0.30 and linearly decreasing to $0.06. Community airdrop recipients will receive 50% of the initial supply as governance tokens and will also benefit from the higher sale price. With interest in Ocelex as the next large ve(3, 3) DEX on Zircuit, the auction is expected to be very competitive and another peak after Lynex, Aerodrome and Thena.
Ocelexs growth potential
Ocelex has the potential to achieve significant TVL on Zircuit, with the network’s total locked value exceeding $2.5 billion. This potential is based on the successful model of other ve(3, 3) protocols:
Aerodrome: 41.56% ($1.6 billion) of Bases $3.85 billion TVL, with a FDV of $2.5 billion. Ocelex could achieve a TVL of $1.039 billion if it gets a similar share.
Lynex: 4.7% ($23.2 million) of Lineas $494 million TVL, with a FDV of $29 million. Ocelex could get $117.5 million TVL if it performs similarly.
Thena: 1.47% ($85 million) of BNB Chain’s $5.8 billion TVL, with a FDV of $565 million. If Ocelex gets this share, it could achieve a TVL of $36.75 million.
Key metrics for Ocelex:
Dominant situation: $1.039 billion TVL (41.56%).
Medium case: $117.5 million TVL (4.7%).
Conservative case: $36.75 million TVL (1.47%).
Ocelexs FDV ranges from $6 million to $30 million, providing a lower-priced investment opportunity for early adopters compared to Aerodromes $2.5 billion FDV or Thenas $565 million.
The DeFi Future of Ocelex and Zircuit
Combining Lynexs successful model with Zircuits technical infrastructure, Ocelex aims to become a cornerstone of DeFi activity. With strong pre-launch momentum, strategic partnerships, and a focus on community alignment, Ocelex is poised to deliver value and scalability to users and the broader DeFi ecosystem.
