“Decentralized exchange” yet the matching engine runs on AWS?
That is not decentralization, it is disguise.

@dYdX is rewriting the script with its own sovereign chain, where validators match orders, not shadow servers.
This is not some off-chain middleware pretending to be DeFi. It is full-stack decentralization baked into every layer.

▸ Orderbook lives on-chain
Every bid and ask is posted directly to blockspace. No shortcuts. No compromises.
▸ Matching handled by validators
No black boxes. The same entities securing the network execute the trades.
▸ Latency without centralization
Custom-built with Cosmos SDK, dYdX Chain delivers speed without selling its soul.
▸ XXX% self-custody
No middlemen, no custody risk. You stay in control from deposit to trade.
▸ Billions in volume, zero KYC
Real users, real usage, real traction,not smoke, not mirrors.

This is not marketing. It is architecture.
dYdX Chain is what happens when DeFi grows up and builds its own foundation.

→ Real infra
→ Real throughput
→ Real DeFi
