Background
Functioning as a credibly neutral public good, 0x Protocol is the open-source, global backbone for decentralized exchange. Developers use 0x to add flexible, multichain exchange functionality into their applications and to create new markets for tokenized assets, including DeFi tokens and NFTs. 0x offers secure, audited smart contracts, a professional-grade API, and a comprehensive set of developer tools and documentation.
The 0x mission is to create a tokenized world where all value can flow freely regardless of the blockchain it lives on. With integrations across all of the top wallets and apps, including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet and Coinbase NFT, Polygon Wallet, Brave, Matcha, dYdX, Zapper, Zerion, and Shapeshift, 0x is fast becoming the trusted standard for all decentralized exchange.
While Ethereum is the platform on which most tokenized value has emerged, transactions have become prohibitively expensive, pricing out potential users and use cases. Optimism, an EVM compatible optimistic rollup chain, aims to increase the throughput of the Ethereum network and reduce gas costs. By improving scalability, optimistic rollups make it cheaper and easier for users to transact on top of Ethereum. Optimism represents an exciting opportunity to expand the reach of 0x Protocol and that of our 0x API partners to a large and growing global user base.
Since deploying to Optimism, 0xAPI has enabled $27M 1 in trading volume
To date, 0x has enabled over $160B in tokenized value to flow across 44M+ trades, and there are 4M+ users across all wallets and app integrations
