dYdX is a decentralized derivatives trading platform (perpetuals and margin), which has evolved through three versions toward full decentralization.

History:

dYdX v1/v2: Ethereum mainnet, orderbook, softly decentralized
dYdX v3 (2021): StarkEx ZK rollup for efficiency

dYdX v4 (Current):

Own Cosmos SDK blockchain
Off-chain orderbook, on-chain settlement
Validators manage orderbook
Native DYDX token for staking and governance
