Open-source protocol 0x (ZRX) provides infrastructure and liquidity to smart contracts, and its users benefit from peer-to-peer token exchange on the Ethereum blockchain where ZRX is based. ZRX holders can delegate ZRX into staking pools to earn ETH, holding funds in 0x’s native currency to support the network and pooling their resources to share rewards. The infrastructure of 0x seeks to create a world where any asset can be tokenised and freely exchanged, establishing a new financial stack without fallible mediators and thereby privileging efficiency, transparency and equitability. Financial institutions as well as individuals can benefits from 0x’s platform, as anything from real estate to debt and credit can be tokenised and traded. Tokens allow holders to vote on motions for 0x’s development, with Improvement Proposals shaping its ecosystem and putting power in the hands of those who are (literally and figuratively) invested in its success. 0x’s founder Will Warren described the project as a ‘Craigslist for cryptocurrencies’ when it was established in 2017; since then, the team has more than doubled in size all while cementing their belief in the power of cryptocurrencies to effect profound real-world change.
