Exchange infrastructure provider 0x is rolling out a new set of application programming interfaces designed to provide crypto developers with tools to build financial products for fast trading, better prices and an improved user experience.
The new project, according to a statement, includes five APIs, among them “Swap API,” which connects developers to more than 100 exchanges, and “Tx Relay API,” which enables trades without gas fees. An API is a channel that allows two computers or software systems to communicate with one another.

The Thursday announcement "represents a big shift for us," explained 0x co-founder Will Warren in an interview with CoinDesk. The 0x team has already helped build several popular retail-focused crypto wallets like Coinbase Wallet, Robinhood Wallet and MetaMask, but with the new platform, the company is now better equipped to provide professional-grade tools to institutions.
"[Decentralized exchanges] technology has been a constant arms race to provide better pricing," Warren said. "Now there are a bunch of different aggregators and meta aggregators and providing the very best pricing and best execution is just something that is constantly a challenge because the competition isn’t resting and neither are we."
UPDATE: (April 20, 16:16 UTC): Updates 0x's name.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Ethereum Foundation makes post quantum security a top priority as new team forms
EF researcher Justin Drake says a new post-quantum team will drive wallet safety upgrades, research prizes and test networks as quantum timelines shorten.
What to know:
- The Ethereum Foundation has elevated post-quantum security to a top strategic priority, forming a dedicated Post Quantum team led by Thomas Coratger with support from leanVM cryptographer Emile.
- Researcher Justin Drake said Ethereum is shifting from background research to active engineering, including biweekly developer sessions on post-quantum transactions and multi-client post-quantum consensus test networks.
- The foundation is backing new cryptography with funding and outreach, launching two $1 million prizes, planning post-quantum community events and education, and stressing that blockchains must prepare early for quantum threats despite their long-term nature.
