RFQ pricing depends on professional market makers quoting — a different trust model than pure onchain routing
Routing/solver logic is only partially open-source (routes are built in the hosted 0x API); Settler contracts are immutable, but new Settler deployments are gated by a 0x multisig and approved deployers can pause
MEV protection is opt-in: turn on Matcha Auto or select RFQ as the liquidity source
