Happy new year and welcome to the ecosystem update for January 2021! 🥳 Each month we share highlights, network insights, and news from across the 0x ecosystem.

🆕 New Integrations

🌐 Network Insights

January saw dramatic growth in trading activity across the 0x ecosystem with total volume for the month hitting $5.7B — more than a 97% increase over December. Over 282,000 trades were executed, representing around 22% month-on-month growth. Off the back of this activity, over $473,000 was generated for redistribution to market makers and ZRX stakers. At the time of writing over $58 million worth of ZRX is being staked.

Many of the top 0x integrators including 0x API, Matcha, 1inch, DeFi Saver, MetaMask and Zapper all saw big increases in their monthly volume with DeFi Saver consuming over 550% more liquidity in January than December. Recent integrators DODO and Metric had huge increases in activity, with 38x and 12x growth in volume respectively. New integrator ShapeShift quickly consumed over $2.7M of liquidity in their first month.

Looking at the user base across integrators, as shown in the chart above, we see Matcha, Zapper and Metamask making up ~76% of 0x users. All of these applications represent a large diversified set of users. Total daily active users stayed steady across the month, with an average count around ~3K.

With the launch of 0x v4 we’re beginning to see volume rapidly shift from v3 to v4. 0x Tracker is ingesting v4 trades from Uniswap Pools, Sushiswap Pools and 0x Liquidity Providers. We expect to see more volume transitioning to v4 when more market makers leverage the new RFQ system soon.
