Step 4: The typescript client can be configured to connect to any network you wish. You can see example code for customizing the network configuration here:


    const indexerConfig = new IndexerConfig(
      ''https://indexer.dydx.trade'',
      ''wss://indexer.dydx.trade''
    );

    const denomConfig = {
      USDC_DENOM: ''ibc/8E27BA2D5493AF5636760E354E46004562C46AB7EC0CC4C1CA14E9E20E2545B5'',
      USDC_DECIMALS: 6,
      USDC_GAS_DENOM: ''uusdc'',
      CHAINTOKEN_DENOM: ''adydx'',
      CHAINTOKEN_DECIMALS: 18
    };

    const validatorConfig = new ValidatorConfig(
      ''https://dydx-ops-rpc.kingnodes.com'', // Validator rest endpoint URL
      ''dydx-mainnet-1'', // Chain ID
      denomConfig
    );

    const custom_network = new Network(
      ''mainnet'',
      indexerConfig,
      validatorConfig
    );

    const client = await ValidatorClient.connect(
      custom_network.validatorConfig
    );

The Config Variables for the above code have been published to dYdX Operations subDAO’s web deployment, and can be found under the section beginning with "dydxprotocol-mainnet": { here‍

Please continue to refer to the dYdX Operations subDAO’s site here for the most up-to-date docs on the dYdX Chain.

Step 5

5(a) Onboarding USDC through dYdX trade interface

5(a)(i) When you first connect your wallet, you will be prompted to deposit funds OR you can deposit funds at any point by clicking ‘Deposit’ in the top right of the frontend.

5(a)(ii) Select the source chain, the asset you want to deposit like USDC or other assets such as ETH and enter the amount to deposit. Review the total fees and estimated time before clicking ‘Deposit funds’.

5(a)(iii): Click ‘Next’ on the custom spending cap wallet pop-up.

5(a)(iv): Approve the spending cap by signing the transaction in your EVM-wallet. This will require paying gas fee on Ethereum or on the source chain you selected in Step 4.

5(a)(v): Confirm the transaction on your EVM-wallet

5(a)(vi): You will get a notification on the top-right of the trading interface that deposit is in progress.

5(a)(vii): Click on the bell icon on the top-right to follow the deposit process. Your deposit will be confirmed in ~15-20 mins.

5(b) Onboarding USDC through Circle Mint account

5(b)(i) Deposit USD to your Circle Mint account via wire transfer and mint USDC. Create a Noble address by downloading Keplr Wallet extension and adding Noble Chain and dYdX.

If you want to use Keplr to see trades, stake, and vote via a Keplr dashboard, you would need to export your mnemonic from your dYdX account and import this mnemonic into your Keplr wallet when setting it up. Read more info here.

5(b)(ii) Within Keplr you can now IBC funds from the Noble Chain to the dYdX Chain.
