    Summary:
  • Users who hold USDC in Keplr wallets will be able to deposit directly onto dYdX Chain, while users without USDC can bridge to dYdX Chain.

dYdX is thrilled to announce that Keplr Wallet users can now seamlessly onboard onto dYdX and trade over 130 markets. The new integration between dYdX Chain and Keplr allows users to connect their wallets in as little as three clicks. 

With more than 1 million users, Keplr’s multi-chain wallet provides a secure and user-friendly way to access dozens of blockchain networks. Its integration with dYdX will allow Keplr users to experience a best-in-class decentralized trading and staking experience, while retaining full custody of their assets.

Keplr users can connect to dYdX in just three clicks and start interacting with its on-chain orderbook. Users who hold USDC in their Keplr wallets will be able to deposit directly onto dYdX Chain, while users who don’t hold USDC can bridge to dYdX Chain using Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP).

The integration of the Keplr Wallet had been highly requested by the dYdX community for some time. Its introduction will expand access to dYdX Chain ahead of the expected launch of dYdX Unlimited this fall. The largest upgrade since the network’s launch, dYdX Unlimited is expected to support a virtually unlimited number of perpetual markets, including crypto-assets and prediction markets as underlyings. It will also introduce the MegaVault, a master liquidity pool that supports liquidity provision in all dYdX Chain markets.

dYdX Foundation CEO, Charles d’Haussy, said: “We’re big fans of Keplr and the work they’ve done in making the Cosmos ecosystem more accessible to Web3 users. Their wallet combines robust security with an interface that simplifies navigating the multi-chain universe. We look forward to welcoming Keplr users to dYdX Chain where they’ll be able to trade a vast number of markets while keeping control of their own assets.”

Keplr Wallet CEO, Josh Lee, said: “While Keplr Wallet serves many blockchains, our roots lie in the Cosmos family of chains which has now been enhanced by the addition of dYdX Chain. Its decentralized order book allows traders to access the assets they like within a fast, low-fee environment and Keplr users can now directly interact with dYdX through their favorite Web3 wallet.”
