# Matcha > Swap any token in seconds Matcha is a decentralized exchange aggregator built by 0x. It routes trades across many liquidity sources and blockchains to find users competitive swap prices while keeping custody of funds with the user. Matcha is a decentralized exchange aggregator that helps users find competitive prices when swapping digital tokens. Built by the team behind 0x, it pulls together liquidity from a large number of decentralized exchanges and market makers across multiple blockchain networks, giving traders access to a broad range of tokens through a single interface. Trades settle peer to peer through smart contracts, so users retain custody of their assets throughout the process. The platform addresses the fragmentation of onchain liquidity by using smart order routing, which splits a single trade across several sources to reduce slippage and improve the effective price. Matcha displays the costs associated with each trade rather than absorbing any difference between quoted and realized prices. It also offers a gasless trading mode called Matcha Auto, which covers network fees, simulates transactions to reduce failure rates, and routes orders privately to limit exposure to frontrunning and sandwich attacks. Matcha supports limit orders and request-for-quote trades sourced directly from professional market makers, alongside its core aggregation engine. Its offering spans a wide range of supported tokens across multiple chains, aimed at both new traders seeking a simple interface and experienced users managing larger orders. Matcha is used by individual traders across many regions who want non-custodial access to deep, aggregated liquidity without managing multiple exchange connections. - Type: Protocol - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Founded: 2020-04-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/Matcha ## Products - [Matcha](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Matcha): Matcha is a decentralized exchange aggregator that routes token swaps across liquidity sources spanning multiple blockchain networks.
