Abstract Partners With 0x to Power DEX Trading Infrastructure

Abstract Chain has announced a new partnership with 0x, positioning the protocol as the exclusive DEX aggregator for the Abstract ecosystem. With this integration, 0x will power all swap execution across the Abstract Portal, the official frontend operated by the Abstract Foundation.

Support for Abstract went live on the 0x Swap API on January 30, 2026. This enables hundreds of applications already integrated with 0x to extend their trading functionality to Abstract without requiring any additional integration work.

As part of the partnership, swaps executed through the Abstract Portal will be routed exclusively via 0x. Matcha, the DEX aggregator built on 0x, will also support Abstract from day one, allowing users to directly experience execution quality and pricing on matcha.xyz.

Optimized Routing for Abstract’s ZK Rollup Environment

0x’s routing engine has been optimized specifically for Abstract’s ZK rollup architecture. Unlike optimistic rollups, ZK based environments introduce different cost dynamics related to proof generation and state updates. The 0x v2 routing system accounts for these factors by optimizing for total execution cost rather than raw price alone.

Key features include order splitting across multiple liquidity sources, multihop routing through intermediary tokens, and gas aware execution designed to deliver predictable outcomes even for small consumer focused swaps.

Improving Consumer Crypto UX

Abstract has consistently positioned itself as a builder focused chain for consumer crypto applications. The partnership with 0x aims to strengthen this vision by addressing key UX fundamentals such as fast execution, reliable pricing, and reduced transaction failures.

According to 0x, its Swap API is already used by major consumer crypto products including Coinbase, MetaMask, Phantom, and Robinhood. Existing integrators can enable Abstract support by simply updating the target network parameter within their existing workflow.

Exclusive DEX Aggregation for Abstract Portal

With 0x serving as the exclusive DEX aggregator, the Abstract Portal will offer a unified execution layer for all token swaps. This approach reduces liquidity fragmentation and ensures consistent pricing and execution quality across the ecosystem.

As new liquidity venues emerge on Abstract, they will be aggregated by 0x to maintain competitive pricing and efficient routing.

Backed by Strong Consumer Brand Equity

One of Abstract’s distinguishing factors is its close relationship with Igloo Inc., the company behind Pudgy Penguins. The brand’s mainstream presence extends well beyond the NFT space, spanning retail distribution and massive social media reach.

Incubated by Cube Labs under Igloo Inc., Abstract continues to focus on consumer facing verticals such as gaming, streaming, and social applications, all surfaced through the Abstract Portal.

Looking Ahead

The Abstract and 0x partnership brings together consumer focused blockchain design, a globally recognized brand ecosystem, and institutional grade trading infrastructure. The integration is expected to play a key role in improving onchain trading experiences for everyday users.
