Built Different, Runs Its Own Chain

Unlike most protocols, @dYdX isn’t hosted on someone else’s chain.

It runs on its own custom blockchain,  built from the ground up with the Cosmos SDK. That means more speed, more control, and zero reliance on external infrastructure.

True decentralization starts at the base layer,  and dYdX owns it.
