- BONK may integrate with dYdX, sharing 50% of protocol fees.
- The integration aims to boost retail trader volume from Solana.
- The recent dYdX fee distribution update increased staking and buyback incentives.
dYdX, the decentralized crypto trading platform, is considering a proposal to formally integrate BONK as an official 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 is designed to bring one of Solana’s largest retail communities onto the dYdX Chain, potentially increasing order flow, widening the protocol’s reach, and creating new incentives for both users and stakers.
BONK integration could boost dYdX growth
Under the proposal, BONK would launch a dedicated, BONK-branded frontend that routes trades to the dYdX Chain. Users attributed to that frontend or order router would generate protocol fees, half of which would be shared with BONK.
dYdX governance has highlighted that this revenue-sharing model aligns incentives between the protocol and its partner: partners receive revenue in proportion to the trading flow they bring, while dYdX benefits from increased activity and distribution.
BONK’s retail-focused ecosystem is known for a highly active user base, making it an attractive channel for expanding dYdX’s user acquisition on Solana. The integration would offer Solana traders a trusted, non-custodial trading option while extending dYdX’s visibility across the Solana community.
The proposal fits within dYdX’s broader roadmap objectives to deepen liquidity, enhance collaborative partnerships, and encourage community-driven growth. By granting governance-approved partners a share of protocol fees, dYdX aims to reward integrations that deliver measurable trading activity.
The revised dYdX fee distribution
In October, dYdX updated its fee distribution to emphasize staking rewards and buyback activity. Previously, fees were split among stakers, the Buyback Program, Megavault, and the Treasury SubDAO. The revised model now allocates 50% to stakers and 50% to buybacks, eliminating allocations to Megavault and the Treasury SubDAO.
dYdX explained that the Treasury SubDAO already holds a substantial DYDX balance, reducing the need for the prior allocations. Routing additional activity through partner integrations like BONK is expected to increase buy pressure and staking incentives, potentially creating a positive feedback loop that supports token value and community engagement.
This BONK proposal follows similar revenue-share agreements approved for other partners. dYdX governance recently greenlit integration proposals from CCXT, Foxify, and CoinRoutes, each structured to capture 50% of protocol fees from attributed order flow. These partnerships reflect dYdX’s strategy of expanding its ecosystem while tying partner rewards to the actual value they generate.
Each partner addresses different user segments: CCXT facilitates low-friction order routing to dYdX, Foxify integrates the dYdX Chain into a prop trading environment for funded and unfunded accounts, and CoinRoutes provides professional and institutional traders with access to deep liquidity. Like these integrations, a BONK frontend aims to grow adoption and align revenue with protocol growth.
Assuming no significant objections, BONK plans to submit the on-chain governance proposal for a vote scheduled for December 11, 2025.
