Premium decomposition (price vs holder cash flow) needs our own on-chain fee data, which we are building. Until then we show price, supply, and on-chain identity.
4Overview
A perpetuals exchange; v4 is its own Cosmos L1. 75% of net fees buy DYDX and validator-stake it (#313).

Derivatives data (open interest, funding) is N/A. Perpetual/futures feeds require a commercial market-data subscription we don't use, so we show N/A rather than an unverified number. Methodology →

Exploit history2023.11.17 insurance fund drained ~$9M — v3 YFI market manipulation (oracle/market-design abuse). Not a contract hack, and unrelated to dYdX Chain.
Not yet computed from our own RPC. For cash-flow assets without our own fee data yet, the premium decomposition is shown as building — never a fake number.
