Staking 0x ZRX

What is a staking pool?

For each 0x trade, the buyer (also known as a taker) pays a small protocol fee denominated in Ether that is calculated as a multiple of the trade’s gas price. The fees are routed into the Staking Pool owned by the maker of the specific order, provided that the address has been registered as a pool operator or as a market maker address by the operator.

Fees are accumulated in staking pools over the course of a 10 day interval (known as an epoch). At the end of each period, the Liquidity Rewards are automatically distributed to the pool operators based on their trade activity and the amount of ZRX staked over the epoch. Any rewards that were not distributed (due to liquidity providers not being fully staked) will automatically roll over to the next epoch, bootstrapping the future Liquidity Rewards Pool for market makers.

As a market maker, it's very important you create a staking pool and register all the address you use to create orders to avoid losing the liquidity rewards you are eligible for.

The creation of a staking pool is completely anonymous, as the only information needed are the addresses providing liquidity. Optionally, you will be able to add simple metadata to your staking pool that will be stored in a publicly available github repo that will power the ZRX Portal.
