The Open X Project writes smart contracts that facilitate the open exchange of value and ideas blockchains make possible. Its multi-chain aggregator, [vaults](https://docs.openxswap.exchange/the-open-x-project/vaults-multichain), and [NFT Market](https://docs.openxswap.exchange/the-open-x-project/nft-market-multichain) are permissionless, trustless, accessible, and immutable. Its [liquid wrapper](https://docs.openxswap.exchange/the-open-x-project/opxvelo-optimism) features novel mechanics to tokenize the value of a vote-escrow position. The project has no outside funding. Its tokens were fair launched to perform functions within the project. Its developing governance structure is an [experiment](https://docs.openxswap.exchange/the-open-x-project/nft-collections-optimism) in decentralization.&#x20;
