July has been packed with real momentum across the dYdX ecosystem, not just hype, but upgrades, community rewards, and protocol-level improvements that keep compounding.
Here’s what’s stood out to me so far:
🛠 Protocol Upgrades
v8.1 and v8.2 both shipped this month
• v8.1 added builder codes, batched CLOB transactions, and smarter market tools
• v8.2 patched a Cosmos SDK consensus vuln and kept things secure This team doesn’t wait around when it comes to shipping or protecting the chain
🎯 Incentives & Competitions
• Weekly Challenge Series kicked off with $40k in total prizes
• ROI Rumble team comp + $10k for the $PUMP-USD event
• Yapper Season X leaderboard reset with $50k up for grabs

Infrastructure & Ecosystem
• Foundation rebalanced staking across top validators
• Over $2.3M in grants distributed

• Trading volume since chain launch passed $316B

I’ve been learning a lot just by watching how dYdX keeps evolving. No noise, no distractions, just real updates, real contributors, and a chain that stays aligned with traders.
