dYdX: A Standard for Decentralized Margin Trading and Derivatives
dYdX allows creation of entirely new asset classes which derive their value from underlying blockchain-based assets. Financial products such as derivatives and margin trades allow investors to achieve superior risk management with their portfolios, and open up new avenues for speculation. They also increase market efficiency for the underlying asset by aiding in price discovery and allowing individuals to express more complex opinions on price and volatility. dYdX provides advantages over traditional financial products by eliminating the need for a regulated central clearing house, providing global and equal access, and allowing users full control of their funds at all times.
dYdX offers a number of decentralized protocols implementing various types of crypto-asset financial products. These protocols are comprised of open source Ethereum Smart Contracts and standards.
