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 by adding 10,000 USDC to the new asset's sub-vault. These funds ensure that new markets launch with sufficient liquidity for efficient trading.
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.
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.
Add 10,000 USDC into your connected wallet to provide the required liquidity, then click "Deposit and Launch." Your funds will be locked for an estimated 30 days to support liquidity in the new market, providing the necessary orderbook depth to facilitate seamless trading. After the lock-up period, you can remove your funds if you choose.
After an estimated 30 days, you can remove your funds at any time.
Not all markets are currently eligible for instant listing. Skip, a third-party entity by the dYdX community as the Market Map Updater, manages the "launchable" markets on-chain.

No. The 10,000 USDC will be added to MegaVault. MegaVault supports high-risk, illiquid, and volatile markets, and adding funds to MegaVault carries a material risk of loss. There is no protection of funds in MegaVault, and there is no guaranteed return. Please review for more details.
