These validators were selected from the pool of RFP participants that achieved the highest scores across the following performance metrics during the evaluation period:
-
Reliability: sustained high uptime with minimal missed blocks.
-
Operational Maturity: strong responsiveness to upgrades and effective infrastructure coordination.
-
Network Performance: ability to maintain low-latency peering and rapid block propagation.
The on-chain appointment and associated grants for these validators remain subject to approval by the dYdX community through governance. Any future removal or replacement of designated proposers will likewise require a governance decision.
Grant funding provided to each validator will be dedicated to their role as designated proposers, supporting faster block propagation, stronger consensus finality, and a more reliable trading experience on dYdX.
