The Power of dYdX v4

The dYdX new platform is a sovereign blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK. This groundbreaking architecture moves the order book and matching engine off-chain, managed by a decentralized network of validators. The result? A CEX-like user experience with DEX-level security and decentralization.

This means no more gas fees for placing or cancelling orders. Your transactions are confirmed in milliseconds, not minutes. This is the performance professional traders demand, delivered on a fully open and transparent protocol. Your dYdX start trading experience is faster and more efficient than ever before.

Uncompromising Security & Self-Custody

At dYdX, you are always in control. The platform is entirely non-custodial, meaning your funds are held in smart contracts that only you can access with your private keys. The dYdX login process is simply a cryptographic signature from your wallet, not a traditional username and password.

The entire codebase is open-source and has undergone extensive security audits by leading firms in the industry. We prioritize transparency and security above all else, providing a robust environment for you to trade with peace of mind. Your assets are your assets, period.

Common Questions

What is dYdX v4? +
dYdX v4 is the latest version of the protocol, a fully decentralized exchange built on its own blockchain using the Cosmos SDK. It features an off-chain order book for high-speed performance and no gas fees for trading actions, combining the best of centralized and decentralized exchanges.
How do I connect my wallet? +
To connect wallet dydx, visit dydx.trade and click "Connect Wallet". A pop-up will appear with a list of supported wallets. Select your wallet (e.g., MetaMask), and approve the connection signature. This is a secure, non-custodial process.
Why does dYdX use USDC? +
USDC is used as the primary collateral currency because it is a highly liquid and trusted stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. Using a stablecoin as collateral simplifies profit and loss calculations and reduces the volatility risk of the collateral itself.
Are there gas fees for trading? +
On the new dYdX Chain, there are no gas fees for trading actions like placing, cancelling, or modifying orders. You only pay standard gas fees for on-chain actions like depositing or withdrawing funds from the smart contract.
What are Perpetual Futures? +
Perpetual Futures (or "perps") are a type of derivative that allows you to speculate on the future price of a cryptocurrency without an expiry date. They are a popular tool for hedging and trading with leverage.
Is trading on dYdX safe? +
dYdX is a non-custodial protocol, meaning you always control your funds. The smart contracts are open-source and have been rigorously audited by third-party security experts. However, trading with leverage involves significant risk and should be done with caution.
