In 2017 dYdX was launched as a decentralized exchange protocol. Fast forward to 2023 and dYdX has reached over 1T in total trading volume and commands a TVL of over $300m. Just last month dYdX released dYdX V4 which is a standalone open-source blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. With dYdX V4 the product development and governance is in the hands of the respective subDAOs, validators, dYdX stakers, and community members contributing to its future development.
