🚀 November 25, 2019: 0x v3.0 Mainnet Launch
On this day in 2019, the 0x Protocol (ZRX), a foundational piece of Ethereum's decentralized exchange infrastructure, successfully deployed its v3.0 upgrade to the mainnet.
1️⃣ The Tech: This wasn't just a patch. The upgrade was voted on by ZRX token holders and included crucial changes to the smart contracts, improving the developer experience and, most importantly, deepening the networked liquidity for all DeFi applications that rely on 0x for token swapping.
2️⃣ The Impact: It was a quiet-but-mighty step that allowed DEX aggregators and complex DeFi protocols to operate more efficiently. It was a core part of the infrastructure that enabled the "DeFi Summer" surge to happen the following year.
It reminds you that the biggest leaps in Web3 are often built on the boring, successful execution of infrastructure upgrades.
