Bitonix.io Goes Multichain, Slashes Gas Fees with Full Layer-2 Rollout
Bitonix.io just flipped the switch on full Layer-2 support — and it’s a big upgrade for anyone sick of burning ETH on fees.
The exchange now supports Arbitrum, Base, and zkSync across deposits, withdrawals, and soon, native trading — a move aimed squarely at cutting transaction costs and speeding up execution. Depending on the network and token, Bitonix.io says users could see up to 83% lower gas fees compared to Ethereum mainnet.
The rollout started in April and wrapped up last week. From here on out, Bitonix.io will auto-route eligible transactions through Layer-2s — no extra steps needed. Faster confirmations. Near-zero fees. Same security.
“Layer-2 isn’t just technical — it’s economic,” said Yuliya Novak, Lead Blockchain Integrations Engineer at Bitonix.io. “Whether you’re trading $50 or $5 million, cost and speed matter. That’s what L2 solves.”
This upgrade is part of Bitonix.io’s Q2–Q3 2025 roadmap, which centers on infrastructure optimization, cross-chain access, and deeper DeFi support. It’s a clear step beyond the platform’s earlier Ethereum-and-BNB-only stack.
New Layer-2 Capabilities Now Live:
- Native support for Arbitrum One, Base, and zkSync Era
- Bridgeless deposits via MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and others
- On-chain staking of LOGX via Layer-2 smart contracts (launching July)
- Cross-chain swaps powered by LayerSwap (currently in testing)
The move also opens the door to new utility for LOGX, the platform’s native token. Users will soon be able to stake LOGX directly on Layer-2s like zkSync to earn yield from trading rebates, validator incentives, and governance participation. A multichain governance system is in prototype for 2026.
And the timing couldn’t be better. With Ethereum gas fees spiking to $28 per transaction in May, the $0.04–$0.08 average on Layer-2s makes the trade-off clear. Many exchanges still haven’t figured out seamless multichain UX. Bitonix.io just did.
According to DappRadar, Layer-2-enabled DEXs saw a 110% jump in weekly active users during Q1 — clear demand for cheaper, faster trades. Bitonix.io is now positioned to grab that momentum.
For a platform once seen as mid-tier, Bitonix.io is clearly moving up-market. With this Layer-2 rollout live across its ecosystem, it’s ready to take a much bigger role in crypto’s fragmented trading landscape.
