Fireblocks has made a significant stride in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) by announcing its integration with dYdX, a leading DeFi protocol focused on derivatives trading. This partnership marks a major step forward in providing institutional-grade tools for engaging in the DeFi ecosystem, particularly in the trading of derivatives such as perpetual futures. dYdX, known for its non-custodial trading platform, offers a dynamic environment for trading major cryptocurrencies without the need to physically own the assets.
The collaboration between Fireblocks and dYdX is set to simplify the entry of institutional and sophisticated investors into DeFi derivatives trading. By utilizing Fireblocks’ secure infrastructure, institutions can now more easily access dYdX’s offerings, benefiting from a platform that supports high throughput and enhanced customization options. This partnership showcases a joint dedication to pushing the boundaries of what traditional and decentralized finance can achieve together.
dYdX has been a pioneer in decentralized trading innovations since its inception in 2017, offering robust trading options across various cryptocurrency pairs and introducing features such as isolated markets and liquidity provider (LP) vaults. The protocol’s recent transition to a proof-of-stake blockchain network built using the Cosmos SDK demonstrates its commitment to decentralization and scalability, catering to the increasing demand for decentralized financial services and improving the protocol’s performance.
Fireblocks, renowned for its enterprise-grade platform that ensures the secure transfer, storage, and management of digital assets, brings a wealth of experience and technology to this partnership. With over $4 trillion in digital asset transfers supported and unique insurance coverage for assets in transit and storage, Fireblocks adds a layer of security and reliability to interactions with the dYdX Chain. Users can now custody DYDX tokens in the Fireblocks Vault, securely transfer DYDX on its network, and stake DYDX through partners like Figment and Kiln thanks to this collaboration.
