Challenge

As dYdX grew, the dex needed exponentially higher throughput and scalability to support the needs of institutional and professional traders. dYdX had scaled using an EVM-based L2, but a significant part of their infrastructure remained in a centralized, off-chain orderbook.

Solution

The interchain stack unlocked unprecedented control and customizability, allowing dYdX to scale with full sovereignty, without gas fees and congestion.

With permissionless markets on the interchain stack, tokens can be listed and liquidity providers can set up their markets with custom quote systems.
