- BONK can be integrated with dYdX to share 50% of the protocol fees.
- The integration aims to increase trading volume among retail traders coming from Solana.
- The recent update to dYdX’s fee distribution increased incentives for staking and buybacks.
dYdX, the decentralized crypto trading platform, is currently considering a proposal to formally integrate BONK as an official partner under its Partner Revenue Share Program.

The proposal seeks to bring one of Solana’s largest retail ecosystems onto the dYdX Chain, potentially increasing order flow, expanding the protocol’s reach, and delivering meaningful incentives to both the community and stakers.
BONK integration could accelerate dYdX growth
The proposal outlines that BONK would launch a dedicated BONK-branded frontend that routes trades to the dYdX Chain.
Under this arrangement, BONK would receive 50% of the protocol fees generated by users attributed to the frontend or order router.
dYdX governance emphasized that this approach aligns incentives for both the protocol and its partner, ensuring revenue is shared in proportion to the traffic generated.
BONK’s retail ecosystem is known for an active user base, making it a valuable distribution channel for dYdX.
According to the proposal, the integration would offer Solana traders a reliable, non-custodial trading experience while increasing the protocol’s visibility throughout the Solana ecosystem.
dYdX believes the partnership could materially increase the number of retail traders joining the platform and drive greater engagement among existing users.
The motivation for this partnership aligns with the broader strategy laid out in dYdX’s Q4 roadmap, which focuses on deepening liquidity, strengthening collaborations, and promoting community-driven growth.
By granting governance-approved partners a share of protocol fees, dYdX aims to incentivize meaningful integrations that bring measurable trading activity to the platform.
The revised dYdX fee distribution
In October, dYdX revised its fee distribution to maximize buyback pressure and staking rewards.
Previously, fees were allocated across stakers, the Buyback Program, Megavault, and the Treasury SubDAO.
The updated model now allocates 50% to stakers and 50% to buybacks, removing allocations to Megavault and the Treasury SubDAO.
dYdX noted that the Treasury SubDAO already holds over 60 million DYDX tokens, making the previous allocations less critical.
Integration with BONK complements this strategy by routing more activity into the protocol, which in turn could increase buyback pressure and staking incentives.
dYdX states that this could create a positive feedback loop, boosting both token value and community participation.
Notably, this BONK proposal follows similar initiatives from other partners.
dYdX governance recently approved integration proposals from CCXT, Foxify, and CoinRoutes, each structured to capture 50% of protocol fees from attributed order flow.
These partnerships demonstrate the platform’s commitment to expanding its ecosystem while tying partner incentives closely to the value they deliver.
For example, CCXT enables users to route orders to dYdX with minimal friction, while Foxify integrates the dYdX Chain directly into its prop trading platform for both funded and unfunded accounts.
CoinRoutes, by contrast, provides professional and institutional traders access to deep liquidity.
Like those partners, BONK aims to expand user adoption while generating revenue aligned with protocol growth.
Unless substantial objections emerge, BONK plans to submit the on-chain governance proposal for a vote on December 11, 2025.
