- BONK could integrate with dYdX, sharing 50% of the protocol’s fee revenue.
- The integration aims to increase retail trader volume on Solana.
- dYdX’s recent fee distribution update boosted staking and buyback incentives.
dYdX, the decentralized cryptocurrency trading platform, is currently reviewing a proposal to formally approve BONK as an official integration partner under its Partner Revenue Share Program.
dYdX governance is considering a new proposal to approve @bonk_inu as an official dYdX integration partner under the Partner Revenue Share Program.

The proposal would bring one of Solana’s largest retail ecosystems onto the dYdX Chain, potentially increasing order flow, expanding the protocol’s reach, and offering meaningful incentives to both the community and token stakers.
BONK integration could accelerate dYdX growth
Under the proposal, BONK would launch a BONK-branded frontend to route trades to the dYdX Chain.
With this setup, BONK would receive 50% of the protocol fees generated by users attributed to its frontend or order router.
dYdX governance noted that this approach aligns incentives for both the protocol and its partner, ensuring revenue is shared proportionally to the trading volume generated.
BONK’s retail ecosystem is known for an active user base, making it a valuable distribution channel for dYdX.
The integration is intended to provide Solana traders with a reliable, non-custodial broker while increasing the protocol’s visibility throughout the Solana ecosystem.
dYdX expects the collaboration could significantly grow the number of retail traders and boost engagement among existing users.
This initiative aligns with the broader strategy outlined in dYdX’s Q4 roadmap, which focuses on deepening liquidity, improving partnerships, and fostering community-driven growth.
By granting governance-approved partners a share of protocol fees, dYdX aims to incentivize integrations that bring measurable trading activity to the platform.
dYdX’s revised fee distribution
In October, dYdX updated its fee distribution model to maximize buy pressure and staking rewards.
Previously, protocol fees were allocated among stakers, the Buyback Program, Megavault, and the Treasury SubDAO.
The revised model now directs 50% of fees to stakers and buybacks, removing allocations to Megavault and the Treasury SubDAO.
dYdX explained that the Treasury SubDAO already holds more than 60 million DYDX tokens, reducing the necessity of prior allocations.
Integrating BONK complements this strategy by channeling additional trading activity to the protocol, which in turn increases buy pressure and staking incentives.
dYdX says this could create a positive feedback loop that raises token value and community participation.
It’s worth noting the BONK proposal follows similar initiatives by other partners.
Governance recently approved integration proposals for CCXT, Foxify, and CoinRoutes, each structured to capture 50% of protocol fees from attributed order flow.
These partnerships illustrate the platform’s commitment to expanding its ecosystem while ensuring partner incentives are closely tied to the value they deliver.
For example, CCXT enables users to route orders to dYdX with minimal friction, Foxify integrates dYdX Chain into its proprietary trading platform for both funded and unfunded accounts, and CoinRoutes offers professional and institutional traders access to deep liquidity.
Like BONK, these partners aim to broaden user adoption while generating revenue aligned with protocol growth.
If no major objections arise, BONK plans to submit the on-chain governance proposal for a vote on December 11, 2025.
