Open Grant RFPs

Short descriptions of things we want to fund

Below are some topic areas that the 0xDAO would like to fund. If you are interested in applying for a grant in one of the areas below or in another area where you have special expertise, please reach out using the process outlined in Grant Program Framework!

Branding and Marketing

The mission of the 0x protocol is to create a tokenized world where all value flows freely. While the protocol has achieved product-market fit and is a market leader in its class, the story of how 0x protocol is actively enabling and shaping this future world needs to be told in a powerful and compelling way that resonates with various user communities. As we are not branding and marketing experts ourselves, we need help with developing and sharing this story.

Documentation Refresh

0x is a protocol that facilitates the peer-to-peer exchange of tokenized assets. The protocol serves as an open standard and common building block for any developer needing exchange functionality. 0x provides secure smart contracts that are externally audited; developer tools tailored to the 0x ecosystem; and open access to a pool of shared liquidity. Developers can integrate with 0x at the smart contract or application layer. However, as the protocol has evolved, the documentation has become out-of-date, confusing, and not easily usable by developers. We need help with updating developer documentation to keep it fresh and accurate.

Developer Outreach

0x protocol and the liquidity that flows through it is foundational to enabling performant DeFi and non-DeFi applications, but the developer community may not be aware of its powerful features or may need help with technical knowledge and integrations. For example, active participation in hackathons, tutorials, and best practice sharing could draw more developers to build on 0x. We need help with growing this capability within the DAO.

Protocol Upgrades (NFT Support)

0x v2 and v3 included support for NFTs (ERC 721/1155), but v4 does not. We need help to port NFT support from earlier versions into v4 and to also add new NFT capabilities. This work will require an in-depth understanding of the protocol and will also be required to undergo an audit.
