Matcha OTC: Trade like a Whale

Converting fiat currency (USD, EUR, etc.) into crypto to access DEX markets has always been a long and involved process that requires traders to jump through hoops. We think DEX traders deserve better. That’s why we were excited to announce last week that Matcha has integrated MoonPay to become the first DEX aggregator with built-in fiat onramps!

Now traders can 

use a credit or debit card directly on Matcha

 to purchase crypto! We’re also proud to support our growing global user base by 

accepting over 160 different national currencies

 through our MoonPay integration. To celebrate, the first $200K in fiat on-ramped through MoonPay on Matcha will pay zero fees!

No longer is there a need to wait multiple days, or go through a Centralized Exchange (CEX) to ape-in and start trading the most exciting tokens in crypto. By integrating MoonPay into Matcha’s new user onboarding flow, we’ve removed one of the most frustrating parts of DeFi: getting started.

Enter or create your MoonPay account info

Provide required documentation (if required by law in your geography)

Purchase some ETH with your credit or debit card info

But wait, there’s more! In addition to integrating with MoonPay, we’ve also redesigned the new user onboarding flow to give users the option to create a crypto wallet directly on Matcha. This means that even if you don’t know the first thing about DeFi, you can come to Matcha to create a wallet, fund your wallet, and begin trading in one simple action. We provide users with helpful explanations along the way to make sure they know what’s happening, and our support team is here to help if you have any questions.

Matcha 2.0: Our Biggest Update Ever

We’re excited to announce that Matcha now has five new liquidity sources! Starting today, Matcha users will be able to automatically take advantage of liquidity provided by Maker PSM, Kyber DMM, Saddle.finance, Smoothy.finance, and Component.finance. Adding these liquidity sources will add even more depth to the already deep stablecoin liquidity and will provide the first liquidity source for USDP trading on Matcha.

As a reminder, Matcha pools liquidity across all the major Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks to make DEX trading as easy and efficient as possible. Matcha can even split individual trades across multiple liquidity sources to help you be sure you’re getting the best prices the market can offer, without having to put in the time and effort of checking multiple exchanges.


Maker PSM gives users increased DAI stability and allows them to swap other stablecoins for DAI at a fixed rate. Integrating with Maker PSM will provide more liquidity for Matcha users on Ethereum stablecoins.



Kyber DMM is the world’s first dynamic market maker allowing for automated market making with greater flexibility and extremely high capital efficiency. Integrating with Kyber DMM will provide an additional liquidity source for Matcha users on Ethereum stablecoins.



Saddle is an automated market maker for pegged value crypto assets. Saddle enables anyone holding a pegged value crypto asset to trade in between other pegged assets with minimal slippage, ensuring users don’t lose value while trading. Integrating with Saddle will bring Matcha users better stablecoin liquidity on Ethereum.



Smoothy is a novel stablecoin swapping protocol that is capable of supporting 20+ stable coins in a single pool with low-cost low-slippage swapping and maximum interest earning for LPs. Integrating with Smoothy will give Matcha users better stablecoin liquidity across both Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.



Component is a community fork of Shell protocol that seeks to provide a reliable, flexible protocol for stablecoin swap without interface censorship. Integrating with Component will give Matcha users access to USDP liquidity for the first time and deepen liquidity for other stablecoins on Ethereum.

NOTE: You don’t need to do anything to take advantage of these new liquidity sources on Matcha as orders will continue to be smartly routed through whatever liquidity sources are most efficient.

We are always on the lookout for new liquidity sources that will help make Matcha the most trusted DEX to trade on in the world. Why use one exchange when you can use them all? Connect your wallet by going to matcha.xyz and start trading on Matcha today!

Since the launch of Matcha just 8 months ago, Matcha users have securely exchanged over $4 Billion in value and have saved millions thanks to our aggregated order routing system enable by 0x. With our upgrade to 0x V4, these savings will get even better by delivering up to

Sushiswap, or any other DEX interface directly.

While these initial savings improvements are massive, they are not the end by any stretch. In the coming months, we’ll also be rolling out support for additional savings improvements including an estimated 10% improvement on limit order pricing, additional liquidity sources, and much more.


Starting today, existing Matcha users can begin taking advantage of these savings by:

We're thrilled to be partnering with RabbitHole, a new platform that rewards you for interacting with different Ethereum products! To celebrate this launch, in addition to the standard XP that you earn for completing various RabbitHole tasks, anyone who completes all of the Matcha specific tasks will earn a bonus reward in ZRX tokens (while supplies last).

RabbitHole is a platform that tracks your progress down the crypto rabbit hole. There are two objectives in RabbitHole: 1) complete quests and increase your XP, which entitles you to exclusive rewards in the future, and 2) complete tasks to earn tokens by completing campaigns.

Campaigns are application-specific and require the user to complete single or multiple tasks. If the user completes all the tasks before the rewards run out, they are eligible for the token reward.

RabbitHole is a web3-native application that sits on top of a querying layer and uses your Ethereum public key as your identity, watching your smart contract interactions across multiple Ethereum smart contracts.

The first 1,000 users who complete all three tasks will be awarded 250 XP + 15 bonus ZRX tokens.

Users who complete the campaign beyond the first 1,000 will still receive XP but not the bonus ZRX tokens.

Users will receive XP for each task completed but will only receive the bonus ZRX tokens upon completing the entire campaign (i.e., all three tasks).

Users must be fully verified with BrightID to receive the bonus ZRX tokens. This can be done at any point before submitting the completed campaign or after submission.

Ampleforth is a new type of "rebase" cryptocurrency. The 

 token, while not a stablecoin, targets being in parity to the purchasing power of the 2019 US Dollar. To accomplish this, the total supply of the token changes daily. At the same time, however, the overall ownership percentage of each holder is kept the same.

The properties of a base money influence the behavior of the financial stack built on top of it. Ampleforth is designed to be a base money that combines two previously incompatible properties: elastic supply and rules-based governance. The Ampleforth Foundation is building pieces of the financial stack that take advantage of this unique combination of attributes, further expanding what decentralized finance can accomplish.

A base money is the most elemental unit of value in a financial stack. This means that its value does not derive from convertibility into another currency—unlike casino chips, for example, which you must cash in to use outside of a casino. For this reason, the intrinsic attributes of a base money affect the financial stack and financial functions built upon it.

Fixed-supply assets like gold have been used as base money in many world economies, including the US, prior to 1971. Because the supply of gold is finite, the gold price can skyrocket in times of sudden and high demand, creating a ripple effect through the credit money system it feeds. Contracts or notes settled in gold during a demand spike are affected, as suddenly the payback value is more costly.

 of July 1944 sought to fix this. It created an international currency exchange pegged to the USD, which was, in turn, pegged to the price of gold. It also created two new international institutions; the IMF and the World bank. The agreement's goal was to add more levers with which world leaders could affect international trade through money supply, like fractional reserve banking and international lending, while maintaining gold as the base money.

Participating countries agreed to peg their national currencies to the USD, and the US agreed to keep enough gold reserves to cover all USD in circulation. Concurrently, the IMF and World bank provided outlets to create currency supply flexibility, which participating countries believed would help mitigate spikes in demand caused by the system's reliance on gold, a fixed-supply base money.

Over the next several decades, the downsides of using a fixed-supply asset as the foundation for a complex financial system became increasingly evident. No amount of tweaking the financial stack built on that foundation could fix all of the systemic problems that arose. In 1971, due to the concern that the US gold supply was inadequate to cover dollars in circulation, the US decoupled USD from gold, undoing the Bretton Woods Agreement. Unbacked USD became the base money of the US economy.

Fiat-based-monies like the USD have a flexible supply, which is modulated by central banks. Central banks can increase or decrease the money supply—whether by changing interest rates, asset purchases, etc.—to meet their stated policy goals. In the US, the Federal Reserve, for example, seeks price stability and full employment.

However, throughout history, elastic supply almost necessarily implies governance by discretion, not rules. This is because only a fiat money that is not convertible into a fixed-supply asset like precious metals can be issued or removed from circulation with the degree of control needed. The ability of central banks to create or destroy portions of the money supply makes them attractive targets for political pressure or regulatory capture.

Fiat monies have supply flexibility but governance concerns. Monies built on fixed-supply assets have some governance immunity but supply rigidity. This is where the Ampleforth token, 

, fits in; by providing a base money with an elastic supply governed by rules, not discretion.

AMPL was designed to be the most straightforward solution to supply inelasticity, and thus an effective building block for the future of decentralized finance. This is how it works:

AMPL is a decentralized digital currency that automatically adjusts supply daily, based on market conditions. This adjustment is called a 

. During a rebase, oracles capture the market price of AMPL. Suppose the price is above or below the target price. In that case, the protocol will automatically inflate or deflate the supply of AMPL across all user wallets, universally and proportional to how much AMPL each user owns. In this way, AMPL is non-dilutive, so the percentage of one’s ownership of the network remains fixed through the rebase.

The rebase incentivizes counter-cyclical price pressure, as short term market actors seek to capitalize on perceived value discrepancies. For example, when demand for AMPL increases, and the price climbs above the target price, the protocol automatically inflates the supply during the daily rebase. Since AMPL owners now have more tokens, short-term holders are incentivized to sell their AMPL to capture their sudden value increase. More sellers mean downward price pressure towards the target price, ultimately encouraging structural stability no matter if demand spikes or wanes.

The Ampleforth Foundation introduced the AMPL as a rules-based, elastic token that could make unique and innovative contributions as a building block for decentralized finance. Next, the Ampleforth Foundation aims to build out “Elastic Finance,” that is, financial-function protocols that can natively make use of unique elastic assets like AMPL. The 

 to achieving that goal is expressed here as a stack. The foundation builds vertically up the stack and horizontally across blockchains, creating a cross-chain value highway.

In order to realize the Ampleforth mission of becoming a new base money used as a building block for the future of finance, there must be low-friction ways of obtaining and using AMPL. The foundation promotes AMPL adoption through its 

. Geysers are smart faucets that incentivize on-chain liquidity. Users receive AMPL for providing liquidity on automated market making platforms (AMMs) like Uniswap. The more liquidity a user provides and the longer the timeframe supplied, the more significant share of the AMPL pool you receive.
