The Staking Rewards on Ox consisted of trading fees:

• Trading Fees: For every 0x trade, there is a maker (the address who created the order) and a taker (the address that accepts the order and fills it). In 0x v3, every taker pays a small fee that is ‘attributed’ to the maker address. These transaction fees were distributed between all staking pools in the network. The Staking Pools distributed the earnings to their delegators after deducting a commission.

You’re welcome to use our 0x Staking Calculator to get a better understanding of how these factors can impact your rewards.

We strive to make staking as safe and transparent as possible, however, it’s important to consider factors that may influence whether a particular staking option is appropriate for you. 

Protocol security risks: There is an inherent risk that the protocol could contain unknown bugs, this risk applies not only to staking but also the investment in ZRX.

This list is not exhaustive and other risks may apply.

ZRX is the native token of the 0x protocol that is used to carry out the key functions of the platform as detailed below:

Token Utilities

• Staking: Users could temporarily lock up ZRX  to receive fees from the protocol. This has been put on pause for the time being. 
• Governance: ZRX is used to vote on 0x governance proposals on the network. The amount of voting power is measured in terms of stake.

ZRX has a total supply of 1B tokens.
