dYdX

dYdX is DeFi’s pro trading platform and a pioneer in decentralized finance, known for being the first to offer decentralized margin trading and derivatives, as well as inventing flash loans and DEX aggregators in 2018. Built on a custom Layer-1 blockchain using the Cosmos SDK, dYdX provides a professional-grade, decentralized trading experience with high leverage, deep liquidity, and low fees. Governed by the community through the DYDX token, dYdX is focused on delivering a transparent and user-driven financial system. This November, dYdX Unlimited launches, bringing instant market listings, the MegaVault liquidity engine, revamped trading rewards, and lifetime affiliate commissions, setting a new standard for decentralized trading.

The dYdX Chain is a proof-of-stake blockchain network built using the Cosmos SDK and leveraging CometBFT for consensus. The DYDX token is the L1 protocol token for the dYdX Chain, as agreed by the dYdX community through dYdX governance ( Snapshot vote and an on-chain vote )

Holders of the DYDX token can use their tokens to run a Validator or stake their tokens to a Validator in order to participate in securing and governing the dYdX Chain network.
