Instant Market Listings enable users to list and trade perpetual futures on virtually any asset on dYdX instantly without waiting for governance approvals or third-party permissions. This new product feature eliminates the traditional costs and delays associated with market creation, allowing users to respond swiftly to market trends.
With this feature, users can list established cryptocurrencies or emerging assets as perpetual markets on dYdX with a 10,000 USDC deposit. This deposit ensures that new markets launch with sufficient liquidity for efficient trading.
Not all markets are currently eligible for instant listing. Skip, a third-party entity elected by the dYdX community as the Market Map Updater, manages the "launchable" markets on-chain.
To ensure compatibility and stability within the dYdX ecosystem, listed markets must meet specific volume and liquidity thresholds. These criteria guarantee seamless integration and provide a stable trading environment from the outset.
Most assets from Base, Ethereum, Solana, and centralized exchanges (CEXs) are supported, covering many of your favorite markets. The dYdX market mapper is actively working to expand this list, aiming to allow virtually any asset to be listed, including perpetual prediction markets.
Head to https://dydx.trade/
Type the name of the market into the search bar. If the market is supported it will appear showing a "launchable" label next to it.
Click on the launchable market and then on the "Preview Launch" button in the bottom right.
Deposit 10,000 USDC into your connected wallet to provide the required liquidity, then click "Deposit and Launch." Your deposit will be locked for 30 days to support liquidity in the new market, providing the necessary orderbook depth to facilitate seamless trading. After the lock-up period, you are free to withdraw your funds if you choose.
Once the deposit is confirmed, the MegaVault supplements your deposit, providing liquidity to the new market. Trading can begin immediately.
Congratulations! Your market is now live on dYdX and supported by MegaVault’s liquidity.
After 30 days, you can withdraw your deposit at any time.
