.@dYdX is close to unlocking a major liquidity upgrade, but one thing still gives market makers pause: custody clarity.
The protocol already solves what most cannot: fast execution, noncustodial design, and deep onchain liquidity. But when firms are deploying client capital, they need clear answers on custody who controls the funds, what protections exist, and how risk is managed.
dYdX uses a validator set to secure assets and execute trades. That is powerful, but it is new territory for institutions used to legal agreements and centralized custody.
The good news? The structure is sound. Assets stay onchain, slashing keeps validators honest, and no one party holds the keys. But for market makers handling size, perception matters as much as reality.
What is next: → More validators going public → Clearer SLAs and uptime guarantees → Insurance or coverage for rare failure cases → Custodian integrations for firms that need them
dYdX has already rebuilt the stack. Solved performance. Solved scalability. Now it is closing the final gap for institutional flow.
The rails are ready. The capital is watching.
