DRC - Approve BONK as an Official dYdX Integration Partner for Revenue Sharing

Proposals
1

Summary
This proposal seeks dYdX community approval to designate BONK as an official dYdX integration partner. BONK will launch a dedicated frontend that routes orders to the dYdX Chain, with attribution tracked via order router rev share, and BONK will receive 50% of the protocol’s share of trading fees generated through this integration.

Abstract
BONK is one of Solana’s largest retail ecosystems and has demonstrated an ability to drive substantial user activity across partner applications. By deploying a BONK-branded frontend powered by dYdX, BONK can introduce dYdX to a large cohort of retail traders within the Solana ecosystem.

This proposal recognizes BONK under the existing partner integration program and aligns incentives by sharing 50% of the protocol’s fee revenue generated through BONK-attributed flow.

Motivation
As mentioned in the Q4 Roadmap, governance approved partners can now earn a share of protocol fees, creating strong collaboration incentives, deepening liquidity, and fueling community-driven growth. As BONK has one of the largest community of retail traders within Solana, this integration offers:

  • Strong distribution to Solana traders

  • A trusted brand among Solana users

A partnership with BONK will also increase the protocol’s surface area across the Solana ecosystem and can meaningfully expand new retail taker volumes.

Specification

  • Partner: BONK

  • Revenue Share: 50% of protocol trading fees generated by BONK-attributed users (via frontend routing or order router rev share).

  • Implementation: BONK will deploy a BONK-branded frontend and the order will be attributed via order router rev share.

Next Steps
Community feedback is welcome. If no major objections arise, BONK intends to submit the on-chain governance proposal for a vote on Thursday, December 11, 2025

Great to see this come to fruition. This will hopefully materially increase the number of retail traders on dYdX and be a win-win relationship.

Excited to see this one go live and hear the dYdX community’s feedback.

Stakecito supports this proposal to approve BONK as an official dYdX integration partner under the protocol’s revenue sharing framework. Supporting this proposal is about aligning dYdX with one of the strongest retail communities on Solana while leveraging an incentive model that is already proven within dYdX’s Partner Revenue Share program. BONK’s dedicated frontend can drive net-new derivatives volume from Solana-native traders, expand dYdX’s brand presence in that ecosystem, and deepen liquidity without adding protocol-side development overhead.
