Round 13 of Approvals

This grant will fund the building and management of a customized dYdX Academy Page as part of the larger Academy Page Project through the Grants program. The Grantee has experience building the existing Ambassadors website, and will use this knowledge to build a similar dYdX brand page to host all Academy efforts. The goal is to build an easy-to-use, intuitive website with interactive components and dYdX branding that helps onboard new users. On top of onboarding new users, the dYdX Academy website should become the go-to for knowledge on trading and crypto.

YataDAO is in the process of releasing a Copy Trading platform with dYdX as its primary backend exchange for execution. By using dYdX for trade execution, this new platform will improve trading volumes and user onboarding. The grant will fund the launch of a month long Testnet Competition with USDC prizes rewarded to the best traders. This competition will serve as a marketing and learning tool for both new and existing dYdX users to experiment with copy trading.

This is a follow-up to a grant issued in v1 of the Program. The grantee was tasked with developing social media videos for all Grants announcements, which were successful in providing interactive methods and digestible content. This grant has assigned an additional 10 videos, with new designs using the revamped dYdX Grants branding and customized announcements.
