Approve CCXT as an Official dYdX Integration Partner for Revenue Sharing
Summary
This proposal seeks dYdX community approval for CCXT to become an official integration partner of dYdX and participate in the partner revenue share program. Under the existing framework outlined in the dYdX Rev Share documentation, we propose to be eligible to receive 50% of the protocol’s share of trading fees generated through its integration.
Abstract
CCXT is one of the most widely used open-source libraries in the crypto industry, powering trading infrastructure for developers, institutions, and algorithmic traders.
By integrating directly with the dYdX Chain, CCXT will make it significantly easier for its large developer base to access and trade on dYdX, unlocking new volumes from systematic and automated strategies.
The goal of this proposal is to formally recognize CCXT as a partner eligible for revenue sharing under the integration program. This structure ensures alignment, as CCXT’s incentives directly scale with the trading activity it helps generate on dYdX.
Motivation
Expanding dYdX’s reach among developers and algorithmic traders is an important part of the protocol’s growth strategy. CCXT provides a direct pathway to this audience, offering:
-
Ecosystem Scale: A massive and diverse user base spanning trading bots, quant developers, and institutions.
-
Ease of Access: Standardized, production-tested APIs that lower the barrier to connecting with dYdX Chain.
-
Credibility: A long-standing reputation in the crypto community as a reliable and transparent infrastructure project.
The integration will allow CCXT users to route orders to dYdX with minimal friction, helping expand overall liquidity and user participation. Revenue share ensures that CCXT remains aligned with dYdX’s long-term success, earning in proportion to the flow it brings.
The CCXT team has been in contact with dYdX contributors regarding this integration, and there is mutual enthusiasm for bringing this to life.
