Of all the crypto content that exists, "Vitalik: an Ethereum Story" is the first to capture the spirit and ideals that drew many of us into the space and kept us here through the ups and downs.

Thank you @ethereumfilm team!

The matcha booth at Token 2049! Holy smokes
Starting and ending the nomad life with 4 years in between
Web3 now has the equivalent of USDC but for bitcoin, issued by Coinbase!

Didn't think it was possible for a company of their size to be so based.
We just made @matchaxyz's routing diagram more discoverable because it is so pretty to look at

I’m proud of @nounsesports ⌐◨-◨
Sharing this internal "History of 0x" presentation in case it might be helpful for other web3 builders. It covers:

- Our almost 8 year voyage through the DEX idea maze, building on top of Ethereum.
- Our mission and motivations, failures and learnings.
- Historical context on crypto and the various Ethereum hype cycles.
- What’s allowed us to get where we are today: the dedication of our team, our mission and values, and persistence.

Happy to answer questions in this thread (if there are any).

The new 0x v2 price engine

- detects buy/sell taxes in real-time for each quote
- finds the optimal route via custody optimization and/or pool selection
- returns the precise tax value along with the quote

which ultimately allows @matchaxyz to transparently surface this information in the UI.

No more relying on static snapshots pulled from an offchain database, which can quickly become outdated or fail to capture more dynamic buy/sell tax rules.
0x v2 is still in closed beta and already crushing everything else out there, including the meta-aggs :)
~9 months from initial R&D to launching the new 0x price engine into beta

With 0x v2, teams that rely on swap fees for revenue no longer need to consolidate 100s of long tail tokens into USDC or ETH.

One of many QoL features we're rolling out during closed beta :D
