“# 0x charts path towards cross-chain asset exchange and liquidity aggregation <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a> on Friday, 0x Labs product manager Theo Gonella laid out the protocol\u2019s ambitious plans to direct development towards a promising, if technically tricky horizon for permissionless exchange: seamlessly connecting the growing constellation of viable layer-1 blockchain platforms.<\/p>\n

The Ethereum-based protocol, designed to be an interoperability toolkit for decentralized exchanges of all strip<\/a>es, has seen marked success this year in connecting a network 30+ projects building with their API.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout 2020, as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) boomed, so too did 0x\u2019s usage: the protocol facilitated nearly $4 billion in trades across dexes and aggregators like Tokenlon and 1inch, and generated nearly $400,000 in protocol fees, according to the 0xTracker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Likewise, 0x\u2019s native token, $ZRX, saw a rally of 280% from $.259 to $.73, before a 50% drop amid the wider DeFi market rout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As it looks to the future, however, 0x now plans to bring its vision of interoperability cross-chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Ethereum is the platform on which most tokenized value has emerged in the past years, we believe we are heading towards a multi-blockchain world with a vast web of interconnected networks forming the backbone of web3,\u201d wrote Gonella. \u201cGiven our vision for 0x protocol as an open technical standard for p2p exchange, it is natural that the standard expand into new ecosystems as they emerge.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The post laid out the signs of growth Ethereum competitor chains would have to exhibit in order for 0x to devote developmental resources, including unique digital assets, robust developer communities, and a deep pool of end users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gonella also acknowledged that cross-chain functionality and composability is a notoriously difficult problem, however.<\/p>\n

Issues include porting wrapp<\/a>ed assets of different standards across chains, opportunity cost for users who lock their tokens into cross-chain bridges, and necessary updates to the 0x infrastructure and tokeneconomic model, including staking and governance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the complexity of the task, Gonella struck an optimistic tone:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a Cambrian explosion of innovation and creativity, and it\u2019s only just getting started.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
