The new partnership will allow Coinbase to keep transaction costs for users on its NFT platform low, while offering a powerful multi-chain swap mechanism for NFTs, an announcement from 0x said.
0x Protocol is an infrastructure solution for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications that makes swapping between assets on Ethereum (ETH) easier and more cost-effective for users without handing over custody of the assets to a centralized party.
Coinbase said on Wednesday that its new NFT marketplace had opened for beta users. The new marketplace incorporates aspects of social media such as likes and comments on posts.
