“We’re currently building an ecosystem making the benefits of DeFi accessible to the billions of mobile-first users around the world,” said Xochitl Cazador, Head of Ecosystem Growth at Celo. “Our collaboration with 0x is more than simply promoting the development and adoption of 0x-powered apps on the Celo network. It’s bringing together two like-minded organizations to continue fostering the rapid expansion of truly decentralized DeFi with the 0x community DAO.”

Businesses use 0x API to power their DeFi applications across a growing number of blockchains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and now, Celo.

Since launch, 0x API has facilitated over 22M trades from more than 1.8M unique traders that represent over $56 billion in volume. The 0x API makes it easy for DeFi developers to tap into fast and reliable aggregated DEX liquidity so they can focus on what matters the most: their product.
