dYdX to Revolutionize DeFi with Unlimited Market Listings

• dYdX Unlimited enables market listings without governance approval.
• MegaVault offers passive liquidity by depositing USDC and sharing profits and losses.

Decentralized exchange dYdX is preparing for a significant upgrade this fall, dubbed dYdX Unlimited, which promises to reshape the platform by allowing users to list an unlimited number of markets. This new feature removes the need for governance approval when listing a new market, greatly enhancing flexibility and accessibility on the platform​.

At the heart of the upgrade is the introduction of permissionless market listings, where users can list any market, such as cryptocurrency pairs or prediction markets, without approval from governance. These markets can be created instantly with liquidity sourced from the platform’s new MegaVault. This mechanism gives dYdX an edge over other decentralized exchanges (DEXs) by offering a much more open and scalable listing process​.

MegaVault and Affiliate Program

The MegaVault serves as the platform’s liquidity engine, acting as a master pool for all markets on the dYdX Chain. It allows users to passively provide liquidity by depositing USDC, ensuring they can earn revenue based on the vault’s profits and losses. 

The upgrade also includes an affiliate program, where users can earn up to $1,500 per referral. It also incentivizes traders to invite more participants to the platform. To qualify for this program, users need to generate at least $10,000 in trading volume​.

The recent DNS hijack attack on the dYdX V3 website highlights the critical importance of security in decentralized exchanges. In late July, attackers gained control over the platform’s domain name system (DNS), redirecting users to a malicious site. 

Although the issue was resolved quickly, the incident has raised concerns about potential vulnerabilities in decentralized platforms like dYdX​. As dYdX prepares to launch its Unlimited upgrade, these security challenges underscore the significance of the new permissioned keys feature. By introducing this tool, dYdX aims to offer enhanced scalability and new market launches.
