Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 0x and 1inch?
0x is B2B infrastructure — an API that wallets and apps integrate for swapping. 1inch is a consumer-facing aggregator with its own interface. Many products use 0x behind the scenes without users knowing. 1inch targets end users directly. Both aggregate liquidity, but their business models and target customers differ.
Is ZRX undervalued?
ZRX has historically traded at lower valuations relative to its protocol metrics compared to other DeFi tokens. The B2B infrastructure model generates real revenue but lacks the consumer brand awareness that drives speculative premium. Whether this represents undervaluation or appropriate pricing depends on your view of infrastructure vs consumer token economics.
How do I earn from ZRX staking?
Stake ZRX at 0x.org to earn a proportional share of protocol fees from API usage. Yields vary based on total staking participation and protocol volume. The revenue is real (from actual trading activity), not inflationary emissions.
