Since March, the dYdX Chain has quietly executed a bold strategy: using protocol revenue to buy back and stake $DYDX.

$1.88M in fees has been deployed to acquire 2.87M $DYDX from the open market, then staked with validators to reinforce the chain’s security.

This isn’t just a token sink.

It’s revenue backed alignment.

It’s protocol level skin in the game.

A self-sustaining loop where usage funds security.

No dilution, just reinforcement.

dYdX isn’t theorizing about value capture.

It’s already doing it.
