[DRC] Re-enable support for the wethDYDX Smart Contract (i.e., the Bridge) on the dYdX Chain side for 12 months

[Ertemann]

I was against closing the bridge in the first place as we saw this stuff coming from a mile away. dYdX isnt the first chain this happened too. But community sentiment was clearly in favour in the long run so we voiced support in the end.

@Ertemann

as for the bridge, i think this is an aggregious idea that takes nothing from the past mistakes of other ecosystems. closing the bridge will burn a significant non-attentive part of the holder base which will come back to bite dYdX 10x harder in the coming years. I propose everyone to read on the Story of Enigma → Secret, ask their community members and learn about how closing that migration has been a thorn in the side of growth and adoption for years after it happened. I think closing this bridge would be a horrible mistake, it is an infrastructure burden i believe dYdX will have to burden into perpetuity - a form of technical debt. Instead of closing the bridge, efforts should be made to delist ethdYdX trading and other token support, this should keep people bridging slowly but steady.

However, undoing this is not really an option due to the market dynamics already widely discussed in this forum.

We could support a migration of some sort for unbridged users based on data analytics of their behaviour on their ethDYDX tokens since the bridge was closed (sold or traded DQs them) but we will not support simply re-opening the current bridge has it has significant risks for the ecosystem.

I hope this clarifies my and the Lavender.Five view on this matter.

best,
Gijs
