π Network Insights
0x v4 RFQT system volume took off in the beginning of March after a number of market makers were onboarded. By the end of April, RFQT volume represented ~25% of all 0x API volume (prior to v4, RFQT volume represented only ~2.5%). This is a clear indicator that the RFQT system is becoming more competitive relative to pricing offered via open order book and bridged AMM liquidity sources.

In March, 0x API launched on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and there are currently seven apps that have integrated the API (not all public). On the liquidity side, 0x API now sources over 14 different on-chain liquidity pools, with Pancake Swap representing ~80% of volume.
By the end of April, 0x API on BSC saw over 20k traders, 140k fills, and a healthy ~$430M in total volume. A special call out to 0x API integrator DODO, who had a peak day of $70M on April 18th.


For 0x API users who traded on BSC, we made our Trade Explorer Query public so any trader can query their summary stats by entering their wallet address. Another BSC data repository is the public dashboard of global 0x API volume on BSC, which highlights a bunch of summary stats and timeline overview.


With the expansion to BSC, 0x API expanded its users from ~70k per month before March, to ~85k in April.
