Loopring, a pioneer in Ethereum's zk-rollup technology, has permanently closed its decentralized exchange and automated market maker platform. The team cited low user adoption, weak marketing, and competition from newer zkEVM platforms as key reasons. The platform's total value locked fell from $760 million in 2021 to about $8 million, and the LRC token price dropped from $3.75 to around $0.01.
