The team behind Taoshi, a leader in decentralized finance, together with partners from General TAO Ventures, an innovator in decentralized AI, and contributors from the broader Bittensor ecosystem, today announced the upcoming launch of 0xMarkets.
0xMarkets is an innovative decentralized platform designed to usher in a new era of blockchain-based infrastructure for trading systems, enabling permissionless access to some of the world’s most powerful and liquid financial markets, spanning crypto, currencies, and commodities.
Built on Bittensor’s distributed AI architecture, 0xMarkets is powered by a new subnet called Cartha, which coordinates liquidity through decentralized participation and incentivizes miners to be liquidity providers. This structure enables algorithmic systems to dynamically allocate liquidity to synthetic asset pairings on 0xMarkets, providing transparency and resilience across trading environments.
The platform is set to lower traditional barriers such as intermediaries and infrastructure requirements to trading of global currencies, and grants liquidity providers an enhanced incentive framework, including token rewards, enabling anyone in permitted jurisdictions to trade, hedge or provide liquidity using worldclass streamlined tools.
“For too long, centralized platforms have set their own rules – charging hidden fees, giving unfair terms, and restricting access,” said one of the project’s contributors Arrash Yasavolian, CEO of Taoshi. “With 0xMarkets, the project will sweep that aside with a new paradigm by leveraging innovative blockchain infrastructure that delivers deep, permissionless liquidity to give a wider array of people the opportunity to
participate in global markets.”
DISCLAIMER: Participation in trading and liquidity involves risk and will not be available in all jurisdictions, including the United States.
Advancing Decentralized Access
Traditional platforms have created pervasive barriers to compliant widespread participation in global currency trading due to significant capital requirements and limited access to modern trading infrastructure worldwide.
0xMarkets introduces a decentralized alternative by focusing on:
- Decentralized and Permissionless Access: Open participation infrastructure, without singlepoint control, where permitted
- Low Minimums with No Gatekeepers: Entry point for users with limited capital to a system architecture aimed at lowering costs and streamlining access
- Transparent Liquidity: Algorithmically coordinated pricing and execution, designed for visibility and auditability
Powered by Innovative Bittensor Technology
Powering 0xMarkets is the Cartha subnet, which functions as a Liquidity-as-a-Service Engine (LaaS-E) within the Bittensor network, using its dynamic TAO mechanics to incentivize deep liquidity provision. Participants are incentivized through a combination of protocol-native rewards and Bittensor’s reward mechanics. By aligning incentives across a distributed set of contributors, Cartha aims to foster deeper liquidity pools and more reliable execution, all governed on-chain.
“The project is not just creating another trading platform, it will build the new layer of financial infrastructure to level the playing field and open up opportunities for participants to access decentralized trading infrastructure” added Mike Grantis, another 0xMarkets contributor and Co-Founder of General TAO Ventures. “By leveraging Bittensor’s incentive mechanisms, the project will solve the liquidity challenges that have prevented truly decentralized trading of currencies and commodities until now.”
Market Strategy and Vision
Going forward, after its initial launch, 0xMarkets will continue to expand the asset classes it can offer traders, including commodities (e.g. silver, oil, agricultural products) and eventually other markets, such as tokenized stocks and bonds, creating a comprehensive decentralized trading ecosystem, subject to evolving technology capabilities and applicable regulations.
For the first time, participants with varying levels of experience can also participate as liquidity providers, contributing liquidity through accessible tooling. This will not only democratize access to markets, but also to the economics of market-making. The broader vision is to provide a flexible infrastructure layer that can adapt as blockchain, AI, and decentralized finance technologies advance.
About the Teams
The project draws on experience from builders within the Taoshi ecosystem and teams from General TAO Ventures and the Contango Digital Blockchain x AI fund. Together, the 0xMarkets team is focused on advancing decentralized technologies to support open, transparent markets.
