New version of dYdX has just been released, which is a Layer 2 protocol for cross-margined perpetuals, based on StarkWare’s StarkEx scalability engine and dYdX’s Perpetual smart contracts.

Traders can expect significantly lower gas costs, and in turn, much lower trading fees and minimum trade sizes.

The benefits we like most:

  • Zero gas cost
  • Instant settlement
  • Cross-margin perpetuals
  • Reduced minimum trade sizes
  • Significantly lower trading fees
  • Higher Leverage & Lower Liquidation Penalties
