What is dYdX?

dYdX is a decentralized exchange focused on perpetual futures, now running on its own app-chain. DYDX holders can stake to secure the network or participate in protocol staking pools.

How to stake DYDX

  1. Go to the official dYdX site or app linked on this page.
  2. Connect a wallet holding DYDX and review the current staking or lock-up terms — these are set by the protocol and can change.
  3. Choose how much DYDX to stake or lock, and for how long, if the protocol asks you to select a lock duration.
  4. Confirm the transaction. Rewards or voting power are typically calculated based on the amount and duration you commit.
  5. Track the unlock date if one applies, and note that early exit is often not possible once a lock period is chosen.
