You might be wondering does @dYdX evolve without a CEO?

The answer is through its Governance Forum — the heartbeat of decentralized decision-making.

If you care about how onchain finance should be built, you’ll want to understand how @dYdX governance works.
Let’s unpack it 🧵👇

dYdX is more than just a trading platform.
It’s a decentralized protocol governed by its community — powered by the $DYDX token.

The Governance Forum is where proposals are discussed, refined, and taken from ideas to implementation.

  What Happens on the dYdX Forum?

It’s the space where DAO contributors, delegates, token holders, and core teams:
•Propose protocol upgrades
•Debate risk parameters
•Allocate grants & funding
•Manage ecosystem incentives
•Vote on strategic direction

It’s on-chain governance in action.

     Types of Proposals You’ll Find:

•New asset listings or delistings
•Changes to trading rewards & fees
•Treasury spending or grants
•Security updates
•Staking or validator incentive     changes
•Governance process improvements

Everything is public. Everything is open for discussion.

  Who Participates?

The forum is open to everyone, but key voices include:
•$DYDX token holders (the voting base)
•Active delegates
•Core contributors (like Chaos Labs, Reverie, etc.)
•Community developers
•Institutional partners

Governance is by design, not accident.

 Why It Matters:

Unlike centralized exchanges, dYdX doesn’t rely on a single entity to make decisions.

This forum represents:
✅ Transparency
✅ Collective intelligence
✅ Long-term protocol sustainability
✅ Community ownership in practice

   From Forum to On-Chain Action:

Most governance flows like this:
1️⃣ Discussion starts on the forum
2️⃣ A formal [dYIP] (dYdX Improvement Proposal) is submitted
3️⃣ Snapshot vote gauges community support
4️⃣ On-chain vote determines the outcome
It’s structured, yet open.

 Recent examples of governance in motion:
•Adjusting trading incentives to balance short-term rewards with long-term growth
•Listing or delisting volatile markets
•Allocating funding from the DAO treasury for development and marketing
•Staking rewards optimization for validators

These aren’t small tweaks — they shape the protocol’s future.

 Why You Should Join the Conversation:

Whether you’re a trader, builder, or token holder, governance is where your influence becomes tangible.

Got a market idea?
Have thoughts on trading rewards?
Want to fund a new initiative?

The forum is where you start.
The dYdX Governance Forum isn’t just a message board — it’s the engine of decentralized protocol evolution.
