0x Protocol
0x (ZRX) powers decentralized trading tools. Launched in 2017, it enables peer-to-peer exchange of Ethereum-based tokens without a central authority. ZRX holders can vote on changes and stake their tokens to earn ETH-based rewards—helping maintain and grow the open trading ecosystem.
A Deeper Dive

Technology & Use Case
0x makes it easy for apps to let users trade tokens directly with each other. It connects to many sources of liquidity, helping people get better prices. Some parts of each trade are handled off the blockchain, which keeps fees low and speeds up transactions. Apps like wallets and marketplaces can plug into 0x to add trading features.
Origins & Team
Founded by Will Warren and Amir Bandeali, the team published the 0x white paper in early 2017 and launched the protocol that July. The project sold half its ZRX tokens in a successful ICO, raising $24 million. Over time, the 0x Labs organization formed, and ZRX became a token for governance and staking.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
ZRX token holders can stake their tokens for rewards and vote on protocol upgrades. The protocol powers tools like Matcha (a DEX aggregator). This is a tool that finds the best prices for token swaps
