New chapter. Bigger vision. dYdX just acquired Pocket Protector.
While most are still wrapping their heads around perpetuals, dYdX is already scaling toward what’s next.
Today, the chain announced the acquisition of Pocket Protector, a nimble team known for elite engineering, growth intuition, and building at the edge of crypto social.
This move isn't just about adding talent.
It’s a signal, that dYdX is gearing up for a broader expansion:
• Into spot markets • Into social-native trading • And into a more complete trader ecosystem
With Eddie Zhang stepping in as President and kaiserkinbote as Head of Growth, the direction is crystal clear:
dYdX is assembling mission-first operators to push beyond perpetual dominance.
If you've been watching closely, you know this isn't a pivot.
It’s the evolution of the chain’s original thesis, to build a decentralized, trader-first exchange that actually scales.
The L1 is secure. The infra is battle-tested.
Now it's time to grow outward. This one’s big.
And if you're building, trading, or staking, the momentum is only just beginning.
