dYdX is one of the first decentralized exchanges on Ethereum (ETH). It allowed on-chain exchange of Ethereum-based tokens well before the explosion of the 'DeFi euphoria'. Now it has launched its native governance asset dYdX.

Most unusual DEX launches its own token: Introducing DYDX

According to the official announcement in the project's social media channels and blog, DYDX token, a governance asset of the dYdX decentralized exchange protocol, has been deployed on Ethereum (ETH).

DYDX is designed to act as an instrument for community members to have a say in major amendments to the way dYdX is governed. Also, DYDX holders will control the rewards distribution and staking processes.
