The dYdX Foundation exists to support the dYdX protocol and to foster community-driven governance and growth across the dYdX ecosystem. That role is unchanged.
dYdX Labs' launch of Arcus does not affect dYdX Chain - it continues to operate as it did yesterday, governed by its token holders and secured by its validators.

dYdX Chain: unaffected, unchanged, community-run
-Arcus (dYdX Labs x Robinhood) is separate infra, separate product.
- via https://t.co/hh9t2V7IkS "An allocation of any future Arcus token will be reserved for the dYdX community."
- Staking, governance, validators, DYDX token: all business as usual
- The Foundation's mandate stands: support the protocol, serve the token holders
4. The Foundation's Role
The dYdX Foundation will continue to do what it was formed to do: support the dYdX protocol, foster governance participation and engagement, guide its validator community, and report to token holders with transparency.
The Foundation's commitment to it is undiminished.
3. Validators and Governance
dYdX Chain is secured by its validators, and that requirement is undiminished.
The validator set will continue to operate as it does today, with any changes to the validator set or validator requirements needing governance approval by the dYdX community.

We are pleased to welcome @charlesdhaussy, CEO of @dydxfoundation, to our Hong Kong Digital Asset Summit.
Charles leads the dYdX Foundation, which supports a decentralized finance protocol for perpetual futures. Before joining dYdX, he served as Global Head of Business Development at ConsenSys, and earlier held the role of Head of FinTech with the Hong Kong government, where he worked closely with the local fintech and blockchain community.
His career spans entrepreneurial ventures and executive roles across fintech startups in Asia and the Middle East. In 2021, he authored Block Kong, exploring Hong Kong's blockchain leaders, and in 2025 published Arabian Crypto, examining the development of the crypto industry across Arab markets, with a focus on the UAE.
His participation brings a perspective shaped by policy, market development, and protocol governance across multiple jurisdictions, at a moment when digital asset markets in Asia and the Middle East are converging with institutional frameworks.
In season 2, episode 13 of Sygnum’s The Crypto Explorer podcast, host @AliyaDG speaks with @charlesdhaussy, founder of the @dydxfoundation, about how a purpose-built, decentralised chain has transformed the platform.
“Engineers behind @dYdX's protocol decided that a chain dedicated to @dYdX would benefit the ecosystem and the users because we could build a ‘Formula One’ of trading for dYdx,” @charlesdhaussy said.
They also talked about why building your own chain comes with both freedom and responsibility.

"So that's something which is a strong value proposition because it does not exist anywhere else. So it will, there will be some friction or you're not going to be able to deploy 100% of your free capital. So that's, that's very interesting to see that. Yes, some of the patterns existing in the world of a trader are also coming into as an option in the world of DeFi" - Charles d’Haussy (@charlesdhaussy) - CEO, @dYdXfoundation

Institutional capital is edging closer to #DeFi, but the real question is whether the plumbing is ready for scale.
Join us for a focused panel on The Trillion-Dollar Liquidity Question!
📅Date: June 3d
🕒Time: 12:00 PM UTC
Host:
• Pauli Speaks ( @pauli_speaks) , Strategic Advisor at @rwaweek

We’ll explore what’s still blocking institutional capital from fully entering DeFi, whether tokenized treasuries and private credit are becoming the new reserve assets, and if decentralized liquidity can really outperform traditional market makers.
