About Matcha
Matcha, the DEX aggregator by 0x Labs, launched in 2020 as a consumer-facing frontend for the 0x API, aiming to provide the best swap prices across Ethereum. In 2023, Matcha V2 introduced a redesigned interface and significantly faster quote generation, with the Auto mode beginning development as an MEV-protected execution layer. 2025 marked the public launch of Matcha Auto, featuring MEV-aware execution, roughly two times higher next-block inclusion probability, and integrated sandwich protection, making it the default for most users. By 2026, Matcha had become one of the top three DEX aggregators by volume, indexing over nine million tokens across one hundred plus exchanges on sixteen chains, and serving as the public benchmark for the 0x API that powers swap functionality across most major consumer wallets. These milestones reflect Matcha's evolution from a simple aggregator to a sophisticated trading infrastructure with long-term significance in DeFi.
Over the past six months (2026-03-03 to 2026-09-03), Matcha has delivered several major advancements:
Gasless and MEV-protected trading with Matcha Auto: Powered by 0x's Gasless API, Matcha Auto enables gasless swaps on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon. It uses meta-transactions and intents-based architecture to settle orders within two blocks over 90% of the time, with revert rates under 1% (vs. ~10% on Uniswap/1inch). Trades are routed via private mempools to prevent frontrunning and sandwich attacks.
Solana integration and cross-chain bridging: Matcha now supports Solana (SVM) alongside 14+ EVM chains, enabling instant swaps and cross-chain bridges between ecosystems. It aggregates over 140 DEXs and private market makers, providing deep liquidity and access to newly launched tokens (e.g., pump.fun) within seconds.
MEV-aware smart order routing with Slippage Protection: The 0x API now calculates historical slippage data to optimize routes and avoid MEV attacks, initially supporting major ETH pairs on Ethereum. This improves executed prices versus quoted ones.
Quote Comparisons and route transparency: New widgets display total savings, network fees, slippage, and routing details compared to alternatives like Uniswap, giving users a clearer view of value.
Looking ahead, Matcha's roadmap focuses on expanding multi-chain interoperability (EVM↔SVM), enhancing intent-based execution, and further reducing gas costs and MEV exposure across all supported networks. The team emphasizes building common infrastructure for both ecosystems to grow together.
