This November, dYdX Unlimited—one of the most significant upgrades in dYdX’s history—is set to launch.
At dYdX, we are reimagining what DeFi plus leverage can be. Decentralization gives you the power, and leverage empowers you to make big bets.
Unlimited is the next step for dYdX - giving you the power to make your big bets.
Trade Anything with Instant Market Listings
With Instant Market Listings, you can list and trade any market on dYdX instantly, with immediate liquidity.
Imagine launching a new token and having a tradeable perpetuals market for it within minutes. Whether you’re interested in established crypto-assets, prediction markets, or emerging assets across Solana, Ethereum, Base, and various centralized exchanges (CEX), Instant Market Listings makes it effortless.
By depositing USDC into the MegaVault, new markets gain liquidity from day one, allowing users to seize market opportunities swiftly and efficiently, unlike any other DEX or CEX.
Trade what you want, not what others say you can. The way it should be.
How is that possible? All thanks to MegaVault. Let’s dive in.
MegaVault: Your Gateway to Automatic Liquidity and Yield
Liquidity is essential. Without it, there’s no trading—yet building liquidity can be challenging, especially for long-tail derivatives markets. That’s where MegaVault comes in.
MegaVault is the cornerstone of dYdX Unlimited’s liquidity strategy, acting as a master liquidity pool to keep all tradable markets liquid and efficient. By depositing USDC into MegaVault, you can contribute to liquidity across all dYdX markets and earn yield in the process.
This approach not only enhances the trading experience with consistent and robust liquidity but also empowers depositors in MegaVault to earn passive income.
MegaVault allocates deposited USDC across market-specific sub-vaults that execute automated market-making strategies. Depositors share in the Profit and Loss (PnL) generated, along with a portion of the protocol’s revenue. With just a click, gaining exposure to automated market-making activities is now easier than ever, offering depositors an attractive passive yield opportunity on stablecoins, all without the need for active management.
This powerful liquidity engine positions dYdX to stand out from competitors, providing scalable liquidity that grows with the ecosystem.
Are you ready to earn yield in USDC while helping shape the future of DeFi?
Instant Market Listings and MegaVault work together, forming a virtuous flywheel
By providing liquidity to all new markets, MegaVault is what makes the new Instant Market Listings feature sustainable.
At the same time, each new listing and additional liquidity drive greater trading volume on dYdX, increasing protocol fees. A portion of these fees is allocated to the MegaVault, further enhancing incentives for users to deposit USDC, resulting in a virtuous flywheel
Trading Rewards: Turn Every Trade into a Win on dYdX Unlimited
The upcoming revamped Trading Rewards program on dYdX Unlimited will be designed to elevate your trading experience by rewarding active participation in the markets.
With each trade you make, you earn rewards – transforming every interaction into an opportunity to grow your portfolio. High trading volumes mean greater rewards, directly reflecting your impact on dYdX’s liquidity and market activity.
Once approved through a governance vote, this enhanced Trading Rewards program will build on the previous version, bringing a more engaging and rewarding experience.
Affiliates Program: Lifetime Commissions Paid Out Instantly
dYdX’s Affiliates Program will be a key driver of dYdX’s growth through community and influencer engagement. It will allow users to invite friends to trade and earn up to $3,000 per month in referral commissions.
Once an Affiliate reaches $10,000 in trading volume on dYdX, they will unlock access to an exclusive affiliate link and can start referring friends. And thanks to leverage, reaching that volume is simple – for example, $1,000 with 10x leverage or just $200 with 50x leverage. Please use leverage carefully and after doing your own research to make sure you understand the risks involved.
For each referral, Affiliates will then earn lifetime commissions paid out instantly and automatically by the protocol, making the Program as transparent and rewarding as possible. The new users referred by the Affiliates also enjoy discounted trading fees, creating a win-win situation where Affiliates' networks benefit while they earn rewards.
For those aiming to maximize their earnings, the VIP Affiliate Program offers exclusive bonuses and perks, enabling affiliates to earn up to $10,000 per referral each month.
