About
What it answers, and for whom.
dYdX runs its perpetuals exchange as its own chain, built with the Cosmos SDK. Validators hold the order book in memory and match orders off-chain, while trades, positions, funding and liquidations settle in the chain's state each block. Trading fees are paid in USDC, and governance splits the protocol's share between stakers and validators, MegaVault, the treasury and a program that buys DYDX on the market.
This dashboard reads that state at each day's end: volume and open interest by market, the funding settled each hour, fees and where they went, the USDC paid to stakers, MegaVault's equity and the DYDX bought back and staked. MegaVault deposits USDC into market-making sub-vaults, including on newly listed markets, so it is shown with its own return. Each figure names the dYdX Chain block height it was read at.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Volume, open interest, fills and funding per perpetual market are read from dYdX Chain's state and its open-source indexer, recorded with the block height of each read.
- Funding is the hourly rate the chain settled per market, positive when longs pay shorts, from the premium samples taken over the hour.
- Staking rewards are the USDC distributed to delegators and validators from the chain's distribution module, read per block and summed by day.
- MegaVault equity is the value of its sub-vault positions and USDC at each day's end; buybacks are the purchases and stakes of the buyback account, read from its transactions.

Questions
Questions people ask.
Is dYdX on Ethereum?
dYdX's earlier versions ran on Ethereum and StarkEx. Since v4 the exchange runs on dYdX Chain, its own Cosmos SDK chain, where DYDX is the staking token; a bridge moved DYDX over from Ethereum. This dashboard reads dYdX Chain.
How do dYdX staking rewards work?
Validators and the DYDX holders who delegate to them receive a share of trading fees, paid in USDC rather than in newly issued DYDX. The rewards tile adds up the USDC the distribution module paid over the period.
What is MegaVault?
A protocol vault that takes USDC deposits and allocates them to market-making sub-vaults across dYdX markets, including markets listed without permission. Depositors share its profit and loss, which the dashboard measures through its value per share.
How does the DYDX buyback work?
Governance directs a share of net protocol fees to a buyback account, which buys DYDX on the market and stakes it. The dashboard counts each purchase and the DYDX the account holds.
How often is funding paid on dYdX?
Every hour. The rate comes from the gap between each market's price and its oracle price, sampled through the hour, plus a small interest component, and it is settled in the chain's state.
Are dYdX markets permissionless?
Since the dYdX Unlimited upgrade, anyone can list a market that meets its oracle requirements, with MegaVault providing the first liquidity. The markets table shows how each market was listed.
- MegaVault
- A dYdX protocol vault that puts USDC into market-making sub-vaults across markets and shares their profit and loss with depositors.
- Indexer
- The open-source service that reads dYdX Chain's state and serves it to interfaces, used here beside direct chain reads.
- Delegator
- A DYDX holder who stakes through a validator and shares in the USDC rewards it earns.
- Premium
- The gap between a market's traded price and its oracle price, sampled through the hour to set funding.
