dYdX Implements Axelar’s Cross-Chain Infrastructure for Seamless Onboarding
dYdX, a decentralized financial derivatives marketplace, has partnered with Axelar, a leading Web3 interoperability platform, to support single-click onboarding and offboarding to dYdX v4. This implementation will utilize Squid, a cross-chain transaction builder that enables cross-chain swaps in under 20 seconds.
Adopting a Standalone App-Chain Model
dYdX has been at the forefront of adopting innovative blockchain architectures. With dYdX V4, they are embracing a standalone app-chain model. This approach ensures maximum decentralization in derivatives exchanges, which are inherently high-leverage and high-risk trading environments.
Squid’s API Integration for Seamless Onboarding
dYdX has integrated Squid’s API to enable users to easily onboard and offboard from their app-chain. Users can deposit from other exchanges or directly onboard onto dYdX’s chain with a single click. This integration allows for flexible, fast, and easy interoperability across different blockchain environments.
“A necessity for the success of the app-chain approach is highly flexible, fast and easy to use interoperability. The dYdX chain needs to onboard users from roll ups, Ethereum L1, other app-chains and centralized exchanges in order to serve as many users as possible,” said Nathan Cha, dYdX marketing lead. “This is where Squid and Axelar come in – an interoperability solution built for this purpose: single-click onboarding from any blockchain environment.”
“This approach has become a blueprint for many of Squid’s other integrations, as it provides a robust architecture for scaling applications in a multichain world,” said Sergey Gorbunov, co-founder of Axelar. “Keep your complex, fragile logic in one tightly controlled environment, and utilize smart interoperability to onboard or offboard and sell your capabilities in other ecosystems.”
