Listen!

Most Layer 1s chase general-purpose adoption.

They want to be everything at once, 

 gaming, NFTs, DeFi, rollups, memecoins, all fighting for the same blockspace.

dYdX took another route.

It’s a purpose-built Layer 1, designed specifically for high-performance trading.

It all shows with:

 → Custom app chain built on Cosmos SDK
 → CometBFT consensus with sub-second finality
 →  Every validator holds a full copy of the order book in RAM
 →  Trades are matched off-chain and included on-chain in a single block
 → No mempool sniping, no MEV chaos plus no reverts

Compared to generalist L1s like Ethereum or Solana, 

dYdX doesn’t just support trading, it is trading because it is built for precision. 

And here’s what makes dYdX even more special;

→ XX% of protocol net fees go to $DYDX buyback program. 
→ No token inflation
→ No rent-seeking middlemen

When dYdX became a Layer 1, it redefined what a trading-first chain should be.

dYdX = Good tech, bullish on dYdX!
