Decentralized exchange dYdX (DYDX) will release a significant upgrade this autumn, introducing features like permissionless market listing, MegaVault, and permissioned keys.
Permissionless Market Listing: Democratizing Market Access
This dYdX Unlimited upgrade, touted as the most substantial since the launch of the dYdX Chain, introduces a suite of new features designed to enhance user experience and market accessibility. Its innovations set it apart from both decentralized and centralized exchanges.
One of the most notable features of the upgrade is the introduction of permissionless market listing. This feature allows users to list virtually any market on the dYdX Chain without requiring governance approval. The process is streamlined for ease of use, enabling users to select and launch new markets from an extensive list, including cryptocurrencies and prediction markets.
MegaVault: The Backbone of Liquidity
To ensure market stability and liquidity, the user who initiates a new market must deposit a predetermined amount of USDC into MegaVault, a new liquidity management system and the central element of the dYdX upgrade. This deposit activates MegaVault’s automatic quoting orders for the latest market, ensuring instant liquidity.
Users can also deposit USDC into MegaVault to share in the generated revenue. This model not only allows depositors to benefit from MegaVault’s profits and losses (P&L) but also provides them with a share of protocol revenue, which is expected to result in a high annual percentage rate (APR).
Enhanced Security with Permissioned Keys
In a bid to bolster security, dYdX is introducing permissioned keys for controlled access to wallets. This feature is particularly aimed at institutional traders who need tight security measures. Permissioned keys allow users to define who can make deposits or withdrawals, adding an additional layer of security and control.
This enhancement not only improves user security but also opens the door for potential third-party integrations with the dYdX Chain in the event of broader ecosystem participation.
Affiliates Program: Monetizing Networks
dYdX is also launching an affiliates program as part of its autumn upgrade. This program allows users to earn by referring others to the platform. By trading at least $10,000, users unlock an exclusive affiliate link, through which they can invite others to join dYdX. Affiliates earn a share of their referrals’ trading fees, with the potential to earn up to $1,500 per month per referral.
This initiative is designed to incentivize user growth while providing financial rewards for active participants, creating a mutually beneficial system for both the platform and its users.
Looking Ahead: UI Refresh and More
In addition to these major features, dYdX has announced plans for a refreshed user interface, easier onboarding processes, and upcoming integrations. These changes signal the platform’s commitment to continuous improvement and user experience enhancement as it enters its next growth phase.
