X Reasons Why dYdX Staking Rewards Are Misunderstood 🔍

Staking $DYDX isn’t just lock and earn
Here’s why many get it wrong—and what actually matters 👇

---

1/ It’s Not Just About APY %

Chasing high APYs That’s not how dYdX works

X. Rewards are set by DAO governance not fixed rates

X. Payouts can change based on proposals and voting outcomes

X. No guarantees active participation is key

👉 Always track governance activity Your rewards depend on it

---

2/ Delegation ≠ Staking
This trips up a lot of users

XXX Delegation You assign your voting power to someone
XXX Staking You lock tokens into specific reward or security modules

🥸 Different roles both important but not the same

---

3/ Timing Matters

Staking without strategy Risky

Upgrades reward period changes or governance votes can impact staking value

💡 Before staking ask

Are emissions about to drop?

Is a proposal live that changes the reward flow?

---

🎯 Final Thoughts
Staking on @dYdX isn’t passive—it’s dynamic.

To earn smartly, understand: ✅ Governance rules
✅ Where rewards come from
✅ When to stake

This isn’t DeFi farming
It’s DeFi thinking 🧠
