Introduction to ZHLS
Similar to how “Banking as a Service” enabled FinTechs to focus on building products, Zero Hash provides the infrastructure to clear and settle digital assets in a completely automated and regulated way. Zero Hash provides liquidity as a service, providing a “one stop shop” for settlement and liquidity services through API that enables best execution and customization.
This FAQ outlines how to incorporate ZHLS execution streamline to the Zero Hash settlement workflow.
Benefits of Using the ZHLS
Zero Hash’s liquidity provides clients the ability to source liquidity across assets through a couple of lines of code. This provides a building block to innovate and develop products within the digital asset eco-system.
In addition, since liquidity is sourced directly from Zero hash as opposed to an external party, settlement occurs instantaneously improving speed and cost since there are no network fees or on-chain confirms.

General Guidelines
- All quotes expire after 5 seconds.
- Certain configurations need to be made by the Zero Hash Client Services team. Please reach out to support@seedcx.com or via a shared Slack or Telegram channel to enquire about using the product.
- All trades executed via the ZHLS will occur on the Zero Hash Liquidity Services (00SCXM) platform, or account group (these 2 terms are synonymous. Account group is used at a technical level and platform is used more generally as a business term).
