The @dYdX built its own chain for one simple reason: control.

By moving away from Ethereum rollups to a Cosmos based chain, it removed the usual bottlenecks and gave real power to validators and stakers.

Now traders get speed, full self custody, and a voice in how the network runs.

It’s not just a trading platform, it’s a chain built for real DeFi.
