Abstract and 0x: A Revolutionary Partnership

In a significant move for the world of decentralized exchanges, Abstract, a notable Ethereum Layer 2 platform, has announced a strategic partnership with 0x, aimed at powering trading on the Abstract Portal through the industry-leading 0x Swap API. This collaboration marks a new phase in decentralized finance, by leveraging advanced DEX aggregation capabilities to improve user experience for traders.

A New Era for Abstract Portal

Starting February 2, 2026, the Abstract Portal will begin routing all its swaps exclusively through the 0x Swap API. This means that users engaging with the platform will benefit from top-notch DEX aggregation and optimized best-execution routing. The collaboration also includes Matcha, a DEX aggregator designed by 0x, which will support Abstract from day one. As such, traders will have immediate access to enhanced functionality and can enjoy the benefits of quality execution while managing transactions across the platform.

Why This Partnership Matters

The success of consumer-focused crypto applications hinges on several key factors: fast and predictable execution, an intuitive user experience, and reliability at scale. Abstract has been designed with these principles in mind, focusing on creating an environment where swaps operate seamlessly as part of everyday products. Integrating the 0x Swap API allows Abstract to tap into over 500 existing applications that leverage 0x for swaps, including major names like MetaMask, Phantom, Robinhood, and Coinbase. This integration not only broadens Abstract’s reach but also enhances the trading experience with aggregated on-chain liquidity.

The underlying technology, based on zero-knowledge proofs, ensures that transactions on Abstract are both fast and cost-effective while maintaining stringent security guarantees. This setup is ideal for consumer applications where speed and reliability are crucial. The routing engine provided by 0x is optimized to maximize the settled outcomes for users, meaning that the final amount users receive is maximized across all transactions, thus emphasizing execution quality for consumer-facing applications.

Key Features of the Collaboration

• - Start of Support: From February 2, 2026, Abstract support is made available to 0x Swap API integrators.
• - Exclusivity of Routing: All swaps on the Abstract Portal will exclusively utilize the 0x routing engine.
• - Immediate Support for Matcha: Traders will gain early access to Abstract's features through collaboration with the Matcha platform, which will facilitate comparisons in pricing, routing, and execution across various token pairs and trade sizes.
• - Optimized Routing for ZK Rollup Environment: The routing created by 0x is specifically tailored for Abstract's zero-knowledge rollup environment, ensuring minimal transaction costs and optimized execution for users.

Implications for Traders and Builders

For builders looking to develop applications leveraging the Abstract ecosystem, integration can begin as of Friday, January 30. Traders can actively experience swaps via Abstract Portal or use Matcha to further evaluate pricing and execution quality against various trading pairs. The ease with which users can interact with the platform is set to enhance the overall experience of trading in the consumer-focused crypto space.

Looking Ahead

With this partnership, Abstract aims to transform how consumer crypto is perceived and utilized. As emphasized by Thorsten Jaeckel, Head of Product at 0x, “We fully support Abstract's mission to unlock consumer crypto. 0x's suite of APIs is here to enable a tokenized world and power the apps that bring trading to mainstream users.” The collaboration signifies not only a technological advancement but also a shift towards a more accessible trading experience for average consumers, immersing them further into the world of decentralized finance.
