Market Listing Maintenance

Overview

The dYdX Grants Program invites proposals from contributors interested in taking on a critical role in maintaining and improving the dYdX trading ecosystem, by ensuring that markets remain relevant, liquid, and optimized by actively managing listings, delistings, and governance-adjustable parameters.

The selected grantee will be expected to:

• List popular launchable new markets on dYdX.
• Own the proposal lifecycle, including forum posts and posting on-chain proposals, for delisting certain markets and changing any governance-adjustable parameters.  

Objectives

• Maintain dYdX momentum by regularly listing launchable popular markets.
• Including but not limited to delisting and upgrading existing markets, adjusting governance-adjustable market parameters.

Scope of Work

• Review and list launchable market opportunities on a weekly cadence that meet volume, liquidity, and demand thresholds.
• Monitor underperforming markets and initiate delisting governance proposals in line with community-defined criteria.
• Submit parameter-change proposals where necessary to ensure markets operate optimally (e.g., liquidity tier changes, margin upgrades).
• Where appropriate, coordinate with the community and stakeholders to gather consensus and feedback ahead of proposal submissions.
