Introduction to 0x

TIP

Prefer to watch a video instead? Jump to 0x Concept Videos.

What is 0x?

0x is developers’ one-stop shop to build financial products on crypto rails. 0x empowers hundreds of developers with essential web3 tools to enable faster trading, better prices and superior UX. Our suite of APIs has processed over 52 million transactions and $125B in volume from more than 6 million users trading on apps like Coinbase Wallet, Robinhood Wallet, Metamask, Zerion, Zapper, and more.

TIP

5ELI5 0x (Explain 0x like I’m 5 Years Old)

0x is like a big playground where people can trade different things like toys, candy, and stickers. But instead of toys and candy, they trade digital things like cryptocurrencies. There are two types of people in this playground: the ones who bring things to trade (we call them Makers) and the ones who want to trade for those things (we call them Takers). 0x helps these people find each other and make trades in a safe and fair way. It’s like having a grown-up watching over the playground to make sure everyone is playing nicely.

The 0x Ecosystem

40x Tech Stack

0x’s professional-grade APIs are built on the 0x Protocol, a set of secure, audited smart contracts. Applications building on these tools are part of the 0x Ecosystem.

The diagram below shows an overview of the 0x Ecosystem, which includes applications who supply liquidity (Makers), applications who demand liquidity (Takers).

3Makers and Takers

Within the 0x Ecosystem, there are two sides – Makers and Takers:

Supply (aka Makers)

This is the entity who creates 0x orders and provides liquidity into the system for the Demand side (Takers) to consume. 0x aggregates liquidity from multiple sources including:

  • On-chain liquidity – DEXs, AMMs (e.g. Uniswap, Curve, Bancor)
  • Off-chain liquidity – Professional Market Makers, 0x’s Open Orderbook network
  • Relevant Docs:

Demand (aka Takers)

This is the entity who wants the Maker’s asset. The Takers agree to trade their asset for the Maker’s asset; in other words, they consume the 0x liquidity. Examples include projects such as MetaMask, Coinbase, and dydx.

  • Relevant Docs:
  • Swap API – The most efficient liquidity aggregator for ERC20 tokens through a single API.

How does 0x work?

Let’s look into how a 0x order is executed.

  1. A Maker creates a 0x order which is a json object that adheres to a standard order message format (see list of all 0x order types here). It indicates what kind of asset the Maker is committed to trade. Assets could include fungible tokens (ERC20), non-fungible tokens (ERC721), or bundles of assets (ERC1155).
  2. The order is hashed, and the Maker signs the order to cryptographically commit to the order they authored.
  3. The order is shared with counter-parties.
  1. If the Maker of the 0x order already knows their desired counter-party, they can send the order directly (via email, chat, or over-the-counter platform)
  2. If the Maker doesn’t know a counter-party willing to take the trade, they can submit the order to orderbook.
  1. 0x API aggregates liquidity across all the supply sources to surface the best price for the order to the Taker. 0x helps traders create, find, and fill the 0x orders through the paradigm of off-chain relay and on-chain settlement. This means that 0x does not store orders on the blockchain; instead, orders are stored off-chain, and trade settlement only occurs on-chain. This unique feature makes 0x a flexible and gas-efficient DEX protocol for developers to build on.
  2. The Taker fills the 0x order by submitting the order and the amount they will fill it for to the blockchain.
  3. The 0x Protocol’s settlement logic verifies the Maker’s digital signature and that all the conditions of the trade are satisfied. If so, the assets involved are atomically swapped between Maker and Taker. If not, the trade is reverted.

What can I build on 0x?

Bitcoin Price Pulls Back After Hitting $30,000 Milestone

Bitcoin Price Surges Past $30K Before Pulling Back

After a period of stagnation, bitcoin’s price sprung to life this week with a rally that briefly sent it past $30,000 for the first time. The leading cryptocurrency climbed as high as $30,200 on Tuesday before running into selling pressure.

The sharp move upward was bitcoin’s first significant price action in over a week. It came after a period in which the cryptocurrency traded in a relatively narrow range between $28,000 and $29,000.

Bitcoin was unable to sustain gains above the $30,000 level, which represents both a psychological and technical resistance point. It quickly pulled back from its highs, with sellers keeping further upside at bay. Still, the breakout suggests bitcoin’s uptrend remains intact as it continues setting new all-time highs.

The next move for bitcoin remains uncertain after this failed breakout attempt. Traders will be watching to see if bulls can regain momentum for another push past $30,000 soon.

Otherwise, bitcoin may enter into a more extended period of choppy trading and low volatility as it consolidates between $28,000 and $30,000. Volume may dry up as well if no clear direction emerges in the coming days and weeks.

The lack of follow-through after surpassing $30,000 has left bitcoin at a critical juncture. Whether bulls can maintain control and propel prices higher or bears take over, driving it back toward support levels, should become apparent based on how bitcoin trades over the next few sessions.

PayPal Issues $27 Million in Tokenized Dollars on Ethereum

Last week, PayPal minted nearly $27 million worth of PYUSD, its new dollar-pegged stablecoin, on the Ethereum blockchain. PYUSD first launched on Ethereum mainnet about 9 months ago.

PYUSD aims to connect regular and digital currencies for PayPal’s 435 million users. Customers can transfer it between PayPal and other wallets, pay with it online, and exchange it for crypto.

PYUSD maintains a 1:1 peg to the US dollar through reserves held by issuer Paxos. Starting next month, Paxos will publish monthly attestations of these reserves. As with some other centralized stablecoins, PayPal can freeze PYUSD transactions to prevent hacks.

PayPal’s move into crypto boosts the industry’s credibility. It shows real finance, value, and demand. This may lead to more supportive regulations.

However, PYUSD is just another stablecoin. Its key impact is enabling new payments infrastructure and convenience.

The launch makes PayPal part crypto company. It continues finance’s digital upgrade amid the bear market.

The news of PayPal’s stablecoin launch saw Bitcoin prices rise from $28,700 to $29,400. The move underscores crypto’s growing credibility as PayPal embraces digital assets.
