About
Loopring (LRC)
Loopring (LRC) is a Layer-2 scaling protocol built on Ethereum, specifically engineered to power high-performance, non-custodial decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and payment applications. It directly addresses Ethereum's scalability and high gas fee issues by employing a sophisticated cryptographic method called zkRollups (Zero-Knowledge Rollups). This advanced blockchain technology allows Loopring to bundle thousands of off-chain transactions, such as trades and transfers, into a single batch. It then generates a cryptographic proof of this batch's validity, which is submitted to the Ethereum mainnet for verification. This mechanism enables massive throughput and reduces transaction fees to a fraction of on-chain costs, all while inheriting the foundational cryptographic security of the Ethereum network.
A primary function of the protocol is to support order book-based DEXs, providing a trading experience similar to centralized platforms but with the self-custody benefits of a decentralized network. The native utility token, LRC, is crucial for the ecosystem's tokenomics. It can be staked by exchange operators to run a DEX on the protocol, and stakers earn a portion of the trading fees. LRC holders can also stake their tokens to lower their own trading fees and participate in protocol governance, making it a key digital asset for building scalable Web3 infrastructure for DeFi applications.

Frequently asked questions
-
What's the most common way to buy Loopring (LRC) with Georgian Lari (GEL)?
Direct GEL to LRC trading pairs are uncommon on major cryptocurrency exchanges. The standard procedure involves a two-step process: first, use a local Georgian fiat on-ramp or a P2P service to buy a major cryptocurrency like Bitcoin (BTC) or a stablecoin (USDT) using GEL via a bank transfer. Second, transfer this digital asset to a global exchange that lists LRC and execute a trade on the corresponding pair (e.g., LRC/USDT). This method ensures access to better liquidity and order book depth. -
What is Loopring's core technology and its benefit for traders?
Loopring is an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling protocol that utilizes zkRollups (Zero-Knowledge Rollups). This technology bundles hundreds of transactions off-chain and submits a single cryptographic proof to the Ethereum mainnet. For traders, this results in significantly higher throughput for order book-based decentralized exchanges (DEXs), allowing for high-speed, non-custodial trading with transaction fees that are a fraction of what they would be directly on Ethereum's base layer. -
Are there specific KYC/AML regulations to consider when buying crypto with GEL?
Yes. Any platform that facilitates the exchange of Georgian Lari (GEL) for digital assets must comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, often overseen by the National Bank of Georgia. This means you will be required to verify your identity by providing official documents. When using P2P services, ensure you are transacting with reputable users on a platform that enforces these compliance standards to mitigate risks. -
After buying LRC, should I keep it on the exchange or move it to a Loopring Wallet?
For enhanced security and to fully utilize the Loopring ecosystem, it is highly recommended to move your LRC to a self-custodial wallet like the official Loopring Wallet. Keeping assets on an exchange exposes you to counterparty risk. A personal digital wallet gives you full control over your private keys. The Loopring Wallet also provides direct access to their Layer-2 DEX for high-speed, low-cost trades and other DeFi functionalities, which is the primary utility of the protocol. -
What kind of fees can I expect when converting GEL to LRC?
The fee structure is multi-layered. First, there's a fee from the fiat on-ramp for converting GEL to a base cryptocurrency (e.g., USDT), which could be a percentage or a flat fee. Second, there's a network fee to transfer that asset to another exchange. Third, you'll incur a trading fee (maker or taker) on the global exchange for the LRC/USDT trade. Finally, there's a withdrawal fee to move your LRC to a personal wallet. Always compare fees across platforms before initiating the transaction.
