0x addresses both of those issues by developing a standard protocol. This protocol can be applied to all orders relayed off the blockchain. With the protocol, the orders have to go back on the blockchain when they are settled instead of at every transaction. This significantly speeds up the process and eliminates some of the unnecessary transaction fees.

Pros
- The team behind 0x strongly believes that in the future, you will find thousands of tokens from Ethereum and that 0x can provide an efficient and trustworthy way to exchange them. 0x is designed to be different from both centralized and decentralized exchanges, providing the best possible combination of features. Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges are the most common and are run by a single entity, which in turn offers a point of failure. Users of centralized exchanges deposit funds directly with the exchange, and the exchange then becomes responsible for connecting the buying and selling orders in real time. Coinbase is an example of a centralized exchange. The big risk with centralized exchanges is their vulnerability to hacking or front-running conducted by the administrator.
Cons
- The co-founders of 0x are Will Warren and Amir Bandeali, the first of which is the CEO and the second of which is the CTO. Both are in smart contract research and development. Warren used to conduct applied physics research at the Los Alamos National Laboratory after studying mechanical engineering at UC San Diego.
