0x FAQ
What is 0x?
0x is an open protocol for decentralized peer-to-peer exchange of Ethereum tokens. 0x provides the infrastructure for developers to build their own custom trading apps with a wide variety of user-facing applications.
For more information about 0x, please visit https://0xproject.com.
What are 0x (ZRX) tokens?
The token of the 0x protocol, ZRX, is a utility token that powers the 0x protocol. ZRX tokens can be used to vote on updates to the 0x protocol itself (decentralized governance), and are required to pay the fees for decentralized trades made using the protocol.
0x (ZRX) conforms to the ERC20 token standard and can be stored in any ERC20-compatible Ethereum wallet including your Coinbase ZRX wallet.
How do I buy ZRX on Coinbase?
Coinbase customers from eligible regions can trade on Coinbase Pro. To see which regions support trading ZRX, please see our Supported cryptocurrencies page.
Purchased ZRX tokens will be displayed as an asset within your Coinbase wallet in your Portoflio page on Coinbase.com or in the Coinbase mobile app.
Can I send ZRX to Coinbase?
Yes, but only to the ZRX wallet in your Coinbase account. Although ZRX is on the Ethereum network, it supported separately from ETH and ETC. Please be sure to send ZRX to and from Coinbase the same way you send all other assets on the platform, within their own separate wallet. ZRX is an Ethereum ERC20 token, and will be displayed as an asset within your Coinbase wallet. Select the "Deposit" button next to your ZRX wallet to view your ZRX deposit address.
Important Reminder: Do not send ZRX tokens to any Coinbase wallet addresses other than your ZRX wallet. Coinbase will not be able to recover tokens sent to the wrong address.
If you send to an external (non-Coinbase) address or wallet that does not support ZRX, Coinbase is not responsible for that transaction. If you have sent ZRX to an external address that does not support Ethereum ERC20 tokens, you will need to directly contact the support team of that wallet to get help.
What if I sent ZRX to my Coinbase ETH address before Coinbase added support for ZRX?
Any ZRX sent to your Coinbase ETH wallet addresses prior to Coinbase supporting ZRX has been credited to your ZRX wallet. It will appear in your wallet when you sign on after 10/16/18.
