Streamlined trading experience for over 7 million users
Phantom is a multi-chain wallet that has earned a reputation for its ease of use and efficient onboarding process for new users entering the world of web3. This integration comes at a time when dYdX is gearing up for the launch of dYdX Unlimited, the platform’s most significant upgrade to date. By introducing Phantom support, dYdX positions itself as a more accessible platform, welcoming Phantom’s large user base and further democratizing access to DeFi trading tools.
"Following the integration of Solana's Raydium markets into dYdX, integrating the leading Solana wallet, Phantom, was a logical next step. This provides Phantom’s 7 million users with direct access to dYdX’s professional trading DeFi protocol."—Charles d'Haussy, CEO of the dYdX Foundation
Phantom was initially built as the leading wallet for Solana. Over time, it has evolved into a multi-chain wallet, offering its users the ability to interact seamlessly with various blockchain ecosystems. It also facilitates smooth transactions across decentralized applications (dApps) and includes a built-in swap feature for token exchanges.
Upcoming dYdX Unlimited
The integration of Phantom coincides with dYdX’s upcoming release of dYdX Unlimited, a major overhaul of the platform expected to significantly expand its capabilities. The upgrade will introduce support for an unlimited number of perpetual markets, covering a wide range of assets, including cryptocurrencies and prediction markets. Additionally, a new liquidity pool, MegaVault, is set to boost capital efficiency, providing unmatched liquidity to the platform’s users.
Phantom’s inclusion will allow its users to take advantage of dYdX’s upcoming innovations with more markets, improved liquidity, and enhanced security features. The ease of connecting and trading with Phantom aligns perfectly with the goals of dYdX Unlimited.
The bottom line
The integration of Phantom Wallet into the dYdX ecosystem is a pivotal step in expanding decentralized trading access. Bringing Phantom’s 7+ million user base, dYdX will set the stage for more seamless, user-friendly trading experiences. This partnership reinforces dYdX’s commitment to creating a streamlined, secure, and decentralized trading environment for users of all experience levels. Taking into consideration the dYdX Unlimited upgrade, this news is even more significant as it gives Phantom users early access to enhanced features and broader market options.
