0x now supports Abstract, as part of an exclusive partnership where 0x powers swap aggregation for the Abstract Foundation, including its curated Portal. Abstract was created to deliver the next generation of consumer crypto. 0x Swap API integrators can now enable the Abstract ecosystem for their users. Through this partnership, 0x will bring its fast, price-optimized swaps directly to users and apps through the consumer-facing Abstract Portal.

Key takeaways

• Abstract support went live for 0x Swap API integrators on January 30, 2026.
• Abstract Portal (the Abstract Foundation’s front end) will route swaps exclusively through 0x.
• Matcha to support Abstract from day one: experience the execution quality for yourself at matcha.xyz
• 0x routing optimizes for Abstract’s ZK rollup environment, factoring gas and execution for best all‑in pricing.

Consumer crypto needs just-works execution

With Abstract live in Swap API, hundreds of apps already integrated with 0x can choose to extend their swap coverage to now include Abstract, opening new frontiers for the Abstract ecosystem, and delivering a richer multichain experience for end users. Since launching in 2017, 0x has supported 500+ teams in delivering best-in-class execution across the expanding ecosystem of chains and tokens.

“We fully support Abstract’s mission to unlock consumer crypto. 0x’s suite of APIs are here to enable a tokenized world and power the apps that bring trading to mainstream users.” — Thorsten Jaeckel, Head of Product, 0x

Abstract positions itself as “the builder’s platform for consumer crypto”, a chain designed to support apps that feel more like products people use every day, not tools that require a DeFi playbook to navigate.

Consumer crypto lives or dies on a few fundamentals:

• Fast, predictable execution (quotes that settle as expected)
• Low friction UX (minimal approvals, minimal context switching)
• Safety and reliability (fewer failed transactions)

0x's Swap API is designed to excel in this environment: professional-grade DEX aggregation and smart order routing, easily embedded directly into consumer apps.

Exclusive trade partnership for Abstract Portal

As the exclusive DEX aggregator for Abstract, 0x now provides the trading infrastructure powering the Abstract Portal.

Why this matters:

• Creates a single best‑execution experience for swaps through the Abstract frontend.
• Aligns the ecosystem around execution quality. New liquidity sources and venues that emerge on Abstract will be aggregated by 0x to keep prices competitive.
• Reduces fragmentation, with consistent quotes and execution across the portal.

The consumer chain with big brand equity

One of Abstract’s most compelling advantages is that the blockchain isn’t manufacturing consumer relevance from scratch. Abstract is closely tied to Igloo Inc., the company behind Pudgy Penguins.

The Pudgy Penguins brand reaches far beyond NFT-native circles, commanding a real-world presence that most crypto projects can only aspire to. From Walmart shelves to tens of billions of GIF views, the IP has secured mainstream distribution by moving beyond the blockchain.

Abstract, incubated by Igloo Inc’s Cube Labs, targets consumer-facing crypto applications with laser focus. The chain already powers multiple verticals including streaming, gaming, and social, all curated through the unified Abstract Portal.

Creating the right conditions for consumer-grade onchain experiences requires a combination of:

• A consumer-first chain
• A major consumer brand
• Trading infrastructure that optimizes for execution

Abstract's partnership with 0x brings all three together.

Built for the apps people already use

0x’s Swap API already powers swap experiences for many of the most widely used consumer crypto products including Coinbase, MetaMask, Phantom, Robinhood, and more.

Existing integrators can toggle Abstract support in minutes to immediately unlock:

• Aggregated liquidity and best‑execution routing
• Security-focused smart contract approvals
• Reliable quoting that reduces failed swaps and improves UX

How to enable Abstract in Swap API

Abstract integrates directly into your existing Swap API workflow. Use the same endpoints and integration logic by simply updating the target network parameter.

What you’ll need

• A 0x API key from the 0x Dashboard
• Swap API v2 integration (AllowanceHolder or Permit2 flow)
• Abstract network configuration (chain ID, RPC, explorer)

Abstract chain parameters

Abstract mainnet uses Chain ID 2741, with standard EVM tooling support.

Example Swap API calls

# Indicative pricing
curl "https://api.0x.org/swap/allowance-holder/price?chainId=2741&sellToken=0x3439153eb7af838ad19d56e1571fbd09333c2809&buyToken=0x9ebe3a824ca958e4b3da772d2065518f009cba62&sellAmount=1000000000000000000" \
  -H "0x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "0x-version: v2"

# Firm quote (to build a transaction)
curl "https://api.0x.org/swap/allowance-holder/quote?chainId=2741&sellToken=0x3439153eb7af838ad19d56e1571fbd09333c2809&buyToken=0x9ebe3a824ca958e4b3da772d2065518f009cba62&sellAmount=1000000000000000000" \
  -H "0x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "0x-version: v2"

Swap API provides a standard step-by-step flow. You’ll get an indicative price, set allowance if needed, fetch a firm quote, then submit the transaction.

Why 0x routing matters specifically on Abstract

Abstract is built on the ZK Stack, offering the low fees and fast confirmations well-suited for consumer apps. ZK rollups have different execution dynamics than Optimistic rollups. Gas costs must factor in proof generation and state diff overhead, which changes how routing should optimize for the best price.

0x v2’s routing engine is explicitly designed to handle these complexities by:

• Multiplexing: Splitting orders across multiple liquidity venues to deepen liquidity and reduce slippage.
• Multihop Routing: Finding efficient paths through intermediate tokens.
• Gas-Aware Execution: Factoring in ZK-specific fee dynamics to deliver the best all-in price, including gas, at all trade sizes.

On a ZK rollup like Abstract, this routing architecture ensures that even frequent, smaller consumer swaps remain fast, predictable, and affordable.

"Trade quality is foundational to the Abstract Portal experience. By partnering with 0x, we’re able to offer tighter spreads, improved routing, and materially better execution — ensuring every swap performs the way users expect." - Cygaar, CTO, Cube Labs
