Our take
0x had its beginnings as a decentralized crypto exchange before its founders noticed a problem - while the apps built to facilitate crypto trading were functional, the user experience was usually terrible. 0x changed to become a decentralized exchange protocol instead, and provides a suite of APIs and tools so developers can build decentralized apps capable of competing with the likes of PayPal or Stripe for ease of use and functionality.
0x's product has wide appeal in the Web3 space and has grown a strong customer base including the likes of Coinbase, Robinhood and Polygon, and has a trading volume exceeding $125 billion. Having raised a large amount of capital in a 2022 funding round, it is focusing on expanding its team as well as its product range. While the crypto world is currently subject to intense volatility, 0x is enabling businesses to build apps and products that make the market more navigable. This will go a long way towards improving trust and stability in the sector.
