Popular decentralized exchange (DEX) dYdX — currently offering perpetual trading options for over 35 popular cryptocurrencies — is set to unveil its most ambitious upgrade yet.
Labeled ‘dYdX Unlimited,’ the update will feature a number of comprehensive enhancements that promise to offer traders increased flexibility while simultaneously providing them with new passive income streams.
The cornerstone of dYdX Unlimited will be its instant market listings feature. Unlike traditional crypto exchanges that require lengthy approval processes, the upgrade will allow users to create new markets instantly without waiting for any governance-related approvals.
To help facilitate this development, dYdX Unlimited will be backed by a robust liquidity system requiring an initial deposit of 10,000 USDC, ensuring long-term market stability. Therefore, by eliminating such bottlenecks — traditionally associated with the listing of digital assets — dYdX Unlimited allows users to benefit from various emerging DeFi opportunities.
Following the upgrade, users will have full support for a wide range of assets that will be backed by oracle price data from several trusted sources, including Raydium, Ethereum, Base, and certain select centralized exchanges (CEXs), ensuring reliable price discovery for newly listed markets.
So dYdX Unlimited is on the horizon.
An upgrade to dYdX that aims to provide users with a true DeFi experience, through instant market creation and liquidity.
Here’s a list of features to be excited for

A closer look at ‘MegaVault’ and its passive income capabilities
Alongside the ‘instant market listing’ feature, the dYdX Unlimited upgrade will introduce a new technology called the ‘MegaVault‘, a sophisticated liquidity pool designed to generate passive returns for investors via its various market-making strategies.
Once implemented, it will allow users to deposit USDC and earn yields by providing liquidity across various markets available on dYdX. However, what should set MegaVault apart from the rest of the fray is its automated approach to liquidity provision, which aims to optimize returns while minimizing friction points associated with market-making activities.
MegaVault’s design reflects a deep understanding of both the traditional finance (trad-fi) and DeFi realms. By pooling resources and distributing them efficiently across multiple markets, it aims to create a sustainable ecosystem that could benefit both traders and liquidity providers.
Lastly, the system plans to allow participants to withdraw their funds at any time while still maintaining stable market conditions through intelligently allocating liquidity. As a result, it should make sophisticated trading strategies accessible to a broader audience.
Using incentives to build a holistic trading ecosystem
The dYdX Unlimited update will introduce a revamped rewards structure, offering a setup that aims to incentivize both traders and market makers with native dYdX tokens, thus fostering increased engagement and liquidity across all of its current markets.
This four-month reward program will be complemented by an innovative Affiliate Program offering lifetime commissions for user referrals (alongside the possibility of instant payouts).
The Affiliate Program is particularly noteworthy as it will offer two unique tiers of participation. Standard tier affiliates will be able to earn up to 15% of taker fees from referred users, with potential earnings of up to $3,000 per referral over a 30-day period.
For high-performing affiliates, the VIP tier will offer enhanced benefits, including up to 50% of taker fees and potential earnings of up to $10,000 per referral over the same period. Thanks to this dual-layered design, those who contribute most to the platform’s expansion should be appropriately rewarded.
With these comprehensive features in place and as more users join the platform (increasing its liquidity), dYdX appears poised to offer an enhanced trading environment following the launch of this highly anticipated upgrade.
The coming weeks should prove particularly interesting for the DeFi ecosystem. Interesting times ahead!
