dYdX (ethDYDX)

Recently, the <a href="https://twitter.com/dydxfoundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dYdX</a> ecosystem has witnessed a series of notable advancements in the latter part of October 2023. Initially, on October 24, dYdX Trading Inc. took the initiative to launch open-source software for the dYdX Chain. This was closely followed by another significant development on October 26, when the dYdX Operations subDAO disclosed the commencement of the mainnet genesis of the dYdX Chain, with Genesis Validators playing a pivotal role in crafting the inaugural block of the chain. Lastly, the momentum continued through October 30, when the dYdX Operations subDAO revealed the deployment and public accessibility of a Bridge User Interface, marking another stride towards enhancing the utility and functionality within the dYdX ecosystem.
In light of the mainnet genesis and the unveiling of the Bridge User Interface software, the dYdX Operations subDAO confirmed the deployment and public availability of the Bridge User Interface. This progression permits users to transition their DYDX tokens from Ethereum to the dYdX Chain, thereby broadening the utility of the DYDX token. For converting ethDYDX to dYdX Chain DYDX, users can head to <a href="http://bridge.dydx.trade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bridge.dydx.trade</a> and/or follow the bridging instructions available <a href="https://dydx.foundation/how-to-bridge/overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>. A guide on staking is set to be released in the upcoming days.
In a <a href="https://www.dydxopsdao.com/blog/v4-genesis" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recent blog</a>, the dYdX Operations subDAO delineated three stages of the dYdX Chain Genesis: Pre Genesis, Genesis, and Post-Genesis, with the dYdX Chain currently in the Post-Genesis phase. This phase encompasses two stages: Alpha and Beta.
The Alpha stage is geared towards enhancing the network's stability and security, with a key aspect of this stability rooted in the quantity of DYDX tokens staked to dYdX Chain Validators. Staking DYDX augments the security of the dYdX Chain. The act of staking, especially when performed by a varied range of Validators across the network, and the subsequent increase in the total staked amount, raises the bar for coordinated attacks to sway a consensus decision.
Transition to the Beta stage is contingent on performance indicators and a favorable dYdX Chain governance vote, among other crucial factors. The Beta stage is anticipated to introduce limited trading functionalities, laying the groundwork for the full-fledged version of the dYdX Chain.
In this Beta stage, the dYdX Operations subDAO, tasked with managing a protocol front-end and contracting an indexer's operation, will opt for public accessibility. Additional details can be found on the blog by the dYdX Operations subDAO <a href="https://www.dydxopsdao.com/blog/v4-genesis" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.
Further insights on the dYdX Foundation’s open-sourced Bridge User Interface software are accessible in this <a href="https://www.dydx.foundation/blog/open-source-bridge-user-interface" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blog post</a>. The mission of the dYdX Foundation is to back the ongoing and future deployments of the dYdX protocol, and stimulate community-driven expansion in the dYdX ecosystem.
