- BONK can be integrated with dYdX and share 50% of the protocol fees.
- The integration aims to increase retail trader volume from Solana.
- A recent update to dYdX’s fee allocation increased incentives for staking and buybacks.
dYdX, a decentralized cryptocurrency trading platform, is currently evaluating 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.

Clearly, the proposal’s goal is to onboard one of Solana’s largest retail ecosystems to the dYdX Chain, potentially boosting order flow, expanding the protocol’s reach, and offering meaningful incentives to both the community and stakers.
How BONK integration could support dYdX growth
The proposal states that BONK would launch a branded frontend featuring the BONK logo to route trades to the dYdX Chain.
Under this arrangement, BONK would receive 50% of protocol fees generated by users attributed to its frontend or order router.
dYdX governance emphasized that this model aligns incentives for both the protocol and its partner, ensuring revenue is shared commensurate with 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 give Solana traders a trusted, non-custodial trading option while expanding the protocol’s visibility within the Solana ecosystem.
dYdX expects the partnership to materially increase new retail customer acquisition and to deepen engagement among current users.
This motivation fits dYdX’s broader strategy outlined in its Q4 plan, which focuses on deepening liquidity, strengthening integrations, and fostering community-driven growth.
By granting approved partners a share of protocol fees, dYdX aims to incentivize integrations that bring measurable trading activity to the platform.
Revised dYdX fee allocation
In October, dYdX adjusted its fee allocation to maximize buy pressure and staking rewards.
Previously, fees were split among stakers, a Buyback program, Megavault, and the Treasury SubDAO.
The revised 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 more than 60 million DYDX tokens, making previous allocations less critical.
Integration with BONK complements this strategy by concentrating additional activity in the protocol, which could increase buy pressure and staking incentives.
dYdX suggests this dynamic may create positive feedback that enhances token value and community engagement.
Notably, the 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 ensuring partners’ incentives align closely with the value they deliver.
For example, CCXT enables users to route orders to dYdX with minimal friction, Foxify integrates the dYdX Chain into its prop trading platform for both funded and unfunded accounts, and CoinRoutes provides institutional and professional traders access to deep liquidity.
Like BONK, these partners aim to grow user adoption while generating revenue tied to protocol growth.
Unless significant objections arise, BONK plans to submit the on-chain governance proposal for a vote on December 11, 2025.
