[bZx] (https://bzx.network/)is a protocol on the Ethereum blockchain for 0x-standard relays and on-chain DEXs. The bZx protocol allows DEXs powered by both 0x and Kyber Network to offer shorting and leverage. bZx currently has the largest variety of tokens for margin trading including ETH, ZRX, EOS, BAT, REP, DAI, OMG, REQ, ZIL, LINK, DGX, PAY, and dozens of others. The protocol consists of an open base layer that performs the essential functions of escrow and interest disbursement and a second layer that can be freely built upon to create advanced functionality for the base layer, including ultra-fast margin settlement and pooled lending. Unlike other solutions, the bZx protocol avoids slow Dutch Auctions that can take hundreds of blocks to settle, instead providing a high-speed margin settlement system on the second layer that can settle in as little as a single block, allowing shorting of even the most volatile ERC20 tokens for a wide range of leverage.
