Wrapping Up

To wrap up 0x seems like the right step from decentralized crypto exchanges that are taking care of many of the flaws in these exchanges. Due to the versatility and availability of the protocol, 0x will grow fast and will provide the basis for other exchange systems that use the Ethereum blockchain.

0x is powering the creation of the tokenized world where all of the value can flow freely as it powers the frictionless peer-to-peer exchange of assets on the ETH blockchain. Anyone can build a decentralized exchange on 0x as its API aggregates liquidity to enable token swaps at the best prices. The use of relayers by the protocol reduces the congestion on the network and it means that the trades can be completed much faster and cheaper. The token provides governance rights and rewards to the relayers and the introduction of staking will promote positive network economics.

The trading volume on 0x surged in 2020 as its ecosystem expanded and there are now more than 50 different Defi projects that have been built or integrated with this project. The ZRX ICO was quite popular with the investors and although there were other projects working on the decentralized exchanges, 0x has a first-mover advantage. 0x is a protocol that facilitates peer-to-peer exchanges of ETH-based assets. Built by 0x labs serves as an open standard and core Defi building block for the developers needing to exchange functionally. 0x offers much more secure, audited smart contracts, tools that are tailored to the ecosystem, and a decentralized global P2P order book with an API that gives easy access to aggregated liquidity sourced from the growing number of exchange networks.

The co-founders appreciate the developments of decentralized exchanges, they saw a chance for improvement so with 0x they hope to address inefficiencies of decentralized crypto exchanges as well as the inability to work together with other exchanges.
