gdYdX 💜

dYdX just hit escape velocity, no L2 required.

@dYdX is redefining DeFi with relentless execution. Here's the proof:
— v8.2 passed with XX% validator approval
— $1.87M in DYDX bought & staked
— 295M DYDX now locked
— Validator turnout: XXXX%
— PUMP-USD trading comp → $10K prize pool
— Onchain Royale w/ Crypto(.)com → $60K prize pool
— Affiliate Booster Sprint → live till Jul XX

Meanwhile:
• API latency down XX%
• Spot & margin coming
• Cosmos-native chain doing $316B in volume

While everyone’s still arguing about L2 vs alt-L1, dYdX is shipping.
The most battle-tested DeFi perps venue is quietly building a monster.

If you’re fading this, you’re betting against math + volume.
