what's Matcha?
Matcha is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that enables users to swap cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains with optimal pricing and minimal slippage. Built on the 0x Protocol, it aggregates liquidity from over 100 DEXs and sources, including request-for-quote (RFQ) providers, to route trades efficiently across networks like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and BNB Chain. By splitting orders across various liquidity pools, Matcha ensures users access deeper liquidity and better execution rates compared to single-DEX trading. The platform supports over 4 million tokens and operates in a permissionless manner, available globally including in the US. It emphasizes low revert rates through smart routing algorithms that predict and avoid failed transactions, improving trade success by up to 36% year-over-year. Matcha integrates seamlessly with wallets, allowing quick swaps without centralized intermediaries, and has processed billions in cumulative volume since launch. As an EVM and Solana-compatible aggregator, Matcha facilitates cross-chain trading by leveraging bridges and native support, making it a go-to tool for DeFi users seeking aggregated liquidity in a fragmented market.
