Ah, dYdX, the DeFi darling, has once again updated its 2025 roadmap, now boldly declaring plans to integrate Telegram trading. One might wonder if this is a desperate bid to attract attention or a well-thought-out strategy. Let’s hope it’s the latter-or at least something that doesn’t involve a monocle and a poorly timed tango. 🎩💃
The roadmap promises a series of “software upgrades” (read: technical jargon for “we’re pretending to innovate”), including partner fee shares, scale orders, and TWAPs. All aimed at reducing latency. Because nothing says “trust us” like cutting processing times. 🧠⏱️
And what’s a roadmap without a splashy acquisition? dYdX recently scooped up Pocket Protector, a social trading app, and poached its co-founder, Eddie Zhang, now president. A move that screams, “We’re pivoting to social media!” or perhaps, “We’re out of ideas.” Either way, September can’t come soon enough. 📱💥
As for earnings, dYdX’s income has plummeted 84% in a year, from $20.1M to a mere $3.2M. Total Value Locked (TVL) has dropped to $312M from $1.1B in 2021. And let’s not forget the 35% staff reduction in October 2024. Clearly, someone needed to “lighten the load.” 🤷♂️💸
dYdX’s Roadmap: More Incentives, Less Clarity
Partner fee shares will let liquidity providers earn up to 50% of protocol fees. A generous offer, assuming the fees don’t vanish like a mirage in the Sahara. Scale and TWAP orders promise traders more execution options-though one suspects this is code for “we’re complicating things further.” 🤖📈
Designated proposers aim to reduce latency by assigning validators. A noble goal, though I’m told validators are notoriously bad at punctuality. 🕒
User-facing features include social logins and direct USDC-DYDX swaps. Because nothing says “user experience” like making people trade on a platform that’s lost 80% of its value. 🎉
DeFi’s 2025 Heatwave: Everyone’s a Winner?
Total TVL across DeFi has risen to $158.2B-a 36.5% jump since January. Ethereum, as always, leads the charge with $93.9B. One might say it’s a golden age for DeFi… or a goldfish bowl. 🐠
