Last week, 0x announced an initiative to bootstrap liquidity to the network via a new Market Making Program. The program aims to incentivize market makers to build fully automated liquidity solutions on the network by offering up to $15k in monetary rewards for accepted applicants that complete defined requirements. 0x will also provide developer resources and dedicate support staff to reduce onboarding friction.

The MM Program is launching at a time when network volumes on 0x have fallen back to Y/Y lows, with current 7-day rolling average trading volumes currently running at a $220k clip (down 50% YTD). The MM program is the first of a few planned initiatives and developer tools set to hit the ecosystem in the coming months, which aim to attract more market makers to the network.
