What is dYdX and How Does It Work?
dYdX (DYDX) is a governance token that enables community control over the dYdX Layer 2 Protocol, one of the leading decentralised exchanges for derivatives trading. Launched in 2021, the DYDX token was distributed to users of the dYdX platform, creating a decentralised autonomous organisation where token holders can propose and vote on protocol changes.
Built on StarkEx’s Layer 2 scaling solution and later transitioning to its own blockchain, dYdX combines the security of Ethereum with high-speed trading capabilities. The protocol enables perpetual trading, spot trading, and lending without traditional intermediaries. DYDX holders participate in governance decisions affecting trading fees, protocol upgrades, and treasury management.
