# Introduction
The 0x\_nodes project was created to act as a single point of entry
into the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space. The 0x\_nodes project
has created a protocol to aggregate available yield from multiple
sources while also mitigating, and offloading risk.
On 0x\_nodes, users stake the native assets of the supported blockchains to earn
native asset rewards. Users choose from a variety of investment strategies to
stake their assets on. The system deploys user funds to the underlying investment
strategies in batches, resulting in cost savings. The 0x\_nodes protocol periodically
distributes rewards back to the users as claimable native assets and provides
users with the option of automatically reinvesting yield. Users can also stake the
$0xNODE token to earn rewards in the form of native assets. 0x\_nodes will deploy a
new algorithmic token, $$0xNODE, to serve as a value-adding derivative to $0xNODE,
beginning the deployment of technologies such as veTokenomics, on-chain
governance, staking, and other utility for $0xNODE.
The project makes it extremely convenient for users to draw yield from numerous
decentralized exchanges and blockchains in one place. Traditional DeFi platforms
lack a cross-chain interface that allows free exchange of native assets between
non-native environments.
Users often move assets from Ethereum mainnet to remote chains for deployment,
which is slow and expensive. Users also have to spend valuable time staying upto-date with multiple yield sources on alternative chains, an exercise which takes
time and inevitably results in lost opportunities.
The technology behind 0x\_nodes is a set of modularized smart contracts designed
to allow for rapid development and easy deployment of new features.
The philosophy of 0x\_nodes is to emphasize strong community engagement, open
source development, and easy integration and upgrades of the underlying
technology.
