Heading to ETH Denver this year? We’ll catch you there! We’re kicking off our 2024 events calendar by taking to the stage, hosting hackathons, and exploring new ideas with our 0xen colleagues and the broader DeFi community at the world’s longest-running Ethereum conference, ETH Denver. 

What’s on the agenda? Pricing, routing, liquidity, multichain, darts, prize wheels and ice-cold matcha, as well as a load of great acronyms: DEXs, UXs, MEV, RFQ, POAP, LARP and SWAG! So whether you want to dive deep into the tech behind the new 0x Argon router, or live out the memes with unmissable goodies, we’re bringing it all!

What’s happening at the booth?

We want to get to know you better so we’ve prepared a variety of games and quizzes, and will have plenty of helpful team members available to answer all your questions. The Matcha booth is #317, in the FutureVerse section on your map. Just head straight as you enter the SporkCastle and you’ll find us on your left! 

Matcha

Darts throw

How’s your accuracy? Come and test your skills with our magnetic darts, if you’re up for a challenge. We’ll give you three shots to get as close to the bullseye as possible. Since we’re all about pinpoint price execution, the better your aim, the better your prize!

Matcha fridge

Longtime Matcha lover? We’re giving away chilled matcha tea for anyone who has traded on matcha.xyz. Just show us at least one trade using the matcha trade history page to qualify for a thirst-quenching bottle. Want another bottle? Grab a photo of the Matcha booth and tweet it (or cast it) with the hashtag #MatchaETHDenver. 

POAP scavenger hunt

Know your DEXs from your DEX aggregators? Prove just how deep your DeFi knowledge is with the conference-wide POAP scavenger hunt. Collect your Matcha POAP at our booth to unlock our trivia questions at poap.game. Each correct answer contributes to your total score, giving you a chance at exclusive prizes when the game ends at noon on Sunday March 3.

Sandwich Attacks!

Throughout Friday and Saturday, you may find yourself caught off-guard in an epic battle against sandwich attacks. Do not fear! There will be no broken baguettes or bits of brioche in your hair. But whatever you’re doing at the event, keep your eyes peeled – MEV is everywhere and we’re here to defend!

0x

Wheel of fortune

Need even more swag? Of course you do! Step on over to the 0x side of the booth and spin the prize wheel to see what you get. Walk away with anything from stickers to clothing to a hardware wallet, may the odds be ever in your favor!

0G lounge

Legs weak, arms heavy? If you’re a buidler looking for a place to chill, come sit down for a chat in the 0G lounge to find out how integrating 0x APIs can help take some weight off your shoulders and propel your app to the next level! We’ll also be hosting interviews with core crypto companies, so make sure to subscribe to our youtube so you don't miss out. 

POAP challenge

Two POAPs at one booth! The 0x team has their own POAP to collect as part of the scavenger hunt, so make sure you get both to unlock more trivia and maximize your points for potential prizes, including sweet Matcha swag.
