I'd perhaps add something like 'crypto' to the headline - I thought this was a marketplace for physical items, somehow - like a local goods exchange.

Agreed, just a small change, otherwise awesome to see something like this out there.

Just curious, does anyone know of a kit like this for digital marketplaces for goods or services (not crypto)?

Does the planet _really_ need any more crypto exchanges? Hardly a week goes by without a couple of new ones starting. Surely we must have more than enough by now?

Hardly a week goes by without one folding due to hacking, mismanagement, or outright criminal activity. Seems like they need someone to keep up the churn or they might run low.

Well, what's currently your favorite decentralized exchange, prior to 0x?

What do you suggest for people who live in regions where this technology is banned or where the difficulties of connecting orthodox bank accounts, etc, make access impossible?

The last decentralized exchange I knew about was EtherDelta, and 0x seems to be an improvement.

This looks great but I'm not sure if the title is accurate. For most of the world the barrier to running an exchange is four fold: 1. Technology 2. Regulatory 3. Trust 4. Critical mass This looks like it only address 1. Which is certainly a big hurdle but I would have loved to seen something explaining how to get 2 - 4 done. From some of the answers bellow: > You don't have to trust! 0x Exchanges are non-custodial Th…

I think you forgot: 0. Doesn't actually solve any real problem for actual humans in the first place.

I disagree with the point, but for the sake of argument, why is this a negative? Large portions of pure mathematics would be deemed irrelevant by this standard. Blockchains and smart contracts are still a burgeoning technology, and projects like this demonstrate what is possible in a tangible way. Perhaps this particular project has no use that you can foresee, but it's the foundation upon which future projects of worth will be built.

Right. I thought this was for building an exchange for goods in general. That's what I thought was awesome.

Yes! Once I've exit-scammed, I need to start my next exchange ASAP. If this toolkit could spin up a new exchange with a randomly-generated theme, that would be great, thanks!

Tom from 0x here. Happy to answer any questions about Launch Kit or 0x more broadly!

Could I use this to launch an exchange for crypto derivatives?

Sure. If you create an Ethereum-compatible token that represents the crypto derivative you have in mind, then you can indeed use this to launch an exchange for that token.

0x is a decentralized, non-custodial exchange protocol. The UI could have malware though, which is why it makes sense for various relayers to have a single UI.
