Sharing this internal "History of 0x" presentation in case it might be helpful for other web3 builders. It covers:
- Our almost 8 year voyage through the DEX idea maze, building on top of Ethereum.
- Our mission and motivations, failures and learnings.
- Historical context on crypto and the various Ethereum hype cycles.
- What’s allowed us to get where we are today: the dedication of our team, our mission and values, and persistence.
Happy to answer questions in this thread (if there are any).

0x customers can now swap any token to any token across all supported chains. We've hardened and battle tested the API in production with early customers, with $200M traded in recent months.
0x was founded with the vision that everything of value will eventually be tokenized, laying the foundation for the free flow of all value.
While tokenization is unfolding before our eyes, the other side of the coin is a complexity underneath that grows every single day. Exchanging tokens in the most efficient way possible involves a complex web of blockchains, messaging systems, smart contracts, market makers, and liquidity pools, each with different properties and trade-offs.
So do you try to navigate the complexity yourself, or do you settle for something simple but imperfect?
You no longer have to make that choice. 0x Cross-Chain API turns that complexity into a single integration: routing, bridging, execution, and tracking.
Letting value flow freely ain't easy work

0x Cross-Chain API is now generally available.
Customers can enable reliable payment flows and smoother cross-chain trade experiences in one easy integration 👇

Truly one of the best I have ever worked with - not just as a boss but as a person. Ive always spoken fondly about my time at 0x and so much has to do with culture and environment that @willwarren and @abandeali1 cultivated.
May 14
Today I’m transitioning out of my role as co-CEO at 0x. I remain a major shareholder, I’ll continue to sit on the board, and I will continue to lend my full support to @abandeali1 and the team.
I’m proud of what we’ve built and our role in realizing the vision of tokenization and globally accessible markets. We started out building the first DEX protocol on Ethereum in 2016, weathered many cycles, and today our products drive billions of dollars in trading volume each month, powering onchain swaps for companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, Phantom, and Kraken.
I strongly believe the space will continue to grow as all forms of value are tokenized onchain, and that 0x and Matcha will play a central role in this global mega-trend. Our products, partners, tech, institutional knowledge, track record, and balance sheet all put us in a strong position to lead this market.
Our industry has entered a new phase; it’s hyper competitive, it’s crowded, and to survive here we must be able to make decisions quickly and move fast. Aspects of our org structure and operating model have slowed us in recent years, with the co-CEO structure being a major contributor.
Amir and I have rebuilt and reimagined 0x multiple times over the past decade. Now Amir has my full support as he rebuilds the organization to thrive in a world where AI is rapidly enhancing individual capability and human coordination.

People are always surprised when I tell them that Will and I have been building 0x together for nearly 10 years, including 6 years as co-CEOs. That kind of partnership is rare in crypto. We have lived through multiple bull and bear markets, life or death company moments, major pivots, and several reinventions of 0x.
I am grateful to @willwarren for being on this journey with me. There is a 0% chance that 0x would be where it is today without his efforts and unwavering vision. Will is by far the most long-term oriented person that I know in crypto. Not getting caught up in short term games and relentlessly building towards a consistent vision is a big part of what helped 0x survive and thrive over the years.
We have a massive opportunity ahead of us as more markets move onchain and AI changes how companies operate. 0x is entering its next chapter with a simpler operating model designed for faster decision-making, clearer ownership, and stronger execution.
I’m excited to lead 0x through this next phase, and grateful to have Will’s continued support as a board member, shareholder, and friend.

Batched approve and swap is one of the most important UX and security upgrades in all of the EVM.
At Matcha Meta, we are always looking for ways to eliminate categories of risk
- Single approval contract for all aggregators
- Now, atomic exact approvals for wallets that support it
- In the future, we are looking into Permit support so Rabby users can also enjoy atomic approve and swap too (caveats: only for tokens that support EIP-2612, and requires 2 signatures but only 1 onchain tx)
May 14
Did you see that @matchametaxyz @safe and @ambire now also support atomic approvals - don’t need to sign two tx to do a swap anymore, and don’t have a lingering approval you need to revoke later

Crypto swap infra was built for trading, not payments. Traders accept a floating output. Merchants can't. That's why we built Exact Buy — guaranteed output swaps, enterprise-grad :)

Stripe, Mastercard, and Visa are already betting on onchain rails.
$7.2T in monthly stablecoin volume says the market is ready. But guaranteed merchant settlement is still the missing piece for most payments builders.
Here's why that gap exists and how we're closing it 👇

Big if true.

Merchants today can only accept same-currency stablecoins. A $317B market.
What if they could accept any token, across any chain?
That's a $2.44T opportunity 👀

The 0x AI skill gives agents a complete swap stack.
It selects the right approval flow, queries live docs for unknown tokens and errors, and enforces safety checks before every submission.
