Our take
dYdX offers a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange platform, initially built on Ethereum but has since transitioned to its own blockchain. Launched in 2017 by former Coinbase and Uber engineer Antonio Juliano, dYdX handles nearly $1B in daily trading volume and continues to grow rapidly.
In its move to become fully decentralized, dYdX launched its own blockchain using Cosmos and Tendermint's proof-of-stake consensus. This shift, which includes exiting the Canadian market, underscores dYdX's commitment to innovation and independence from Ethereum.
Recent updates, like the MegaVault feature for liquidity and permissionless market listings, have enhanced user engagement and boosted investor confidence. These innovations, alongside its, move to a fully decentralized model, are driving the platform's success and positive market momentum.
