Most DEXs use AMMs.

They’re easy to set up, but hard to scale for serious traders.

@dYdX chose the tougher route and it paid off.

Here’s why that matters:

AMMs use passive liquidity pools
Order books let you actively place real trades

On-chain order books bring full transparency

Paired with off-chain matching, you get speed without losing integrity

You can set limit orders, stop losses, and execute like a pro.

Everything still settles on-chain and verifiable.

This is not just an upgrade.
It is infrastructure designed for real trading at scale.
