dYdX reviews a proposal to integrate BONK with a shared revenue model and branded frontend to boost activity from Solana retail traders.
dYdX is working on a proposal that could bring BONK into its partner revenue program.
The idea includes a branded frontend and a shared fee structure. It also supports the exchange’s push to grow activity within the Solana community.
BONK has a large retail audience, so the plan could help raise usage across the dYdX Chain.
The dYdX Proposal And BONK Integration
The dYdX governance forum started reviewing the proposal on December 8. The plan introduces a BONK-powered interface that routes trades to the dYdX Chain.
All activity from that interface would be tracked through dYdX’s order flow system. In return, BONK would receive 50% of protocol fees from the users it sends to the platform.

Supporters say BONK’s presence on Solana could help dYdX reach more retail traders. BONK has built one of the largest user groups on that network. This audience could increase order flow for the dYdX Chain once the integration goes live.
Community members are now sharing feedback through official channels. If the process moves forward without major objections, BONK will submit the plan to an on-chain vote on December 11.
Token holders will then decide if the partnership becomes official.
More On The dYdX Partnership Program
The proposal sits within the current structure of the dYdX program for revenue sharing.
This model allows approved partners to earn a percentage of the fees tied to the trades they generate. It also gives dYdX a simple way to track partner performance through data from user activity.
Projects that join the program gain access to the liquidity and trading tools of the dYdX Chain.
They do not need to create their own exchange systems. Instead, they can use a branded interface that connects to the dYdX markets. The setup helps each project serve its community while sending new traders to dYdX.
The exchange rebuilt its protocol into a standalone Layer 1 chain in 202 this year, and expanding that chain through partner tools has become part of its growth plan. The BONK integration continues that approach, but with a stronger focus on retail communities.
BONK Community Could Strengthen dYdX Activity
BONK has become a major part of Solana’s retail activity. Traders use it across many apps, and its audience remains active during market changes. This makes the token a strong entry point for platforms that want to reach Solana users.
A BONK-branded frontend would give this community direct access to dYdX markets. The interface would operate on top of the existing dYdX Chain, and Traders would not need to leave their familiar environment.
The connection could raise retail participation on the exchange and help strengthen its liquidity.
Members of the dYdX governance forum believe the user base could supply a steady flow of new activity. The group expects this to improve order volumes and support the chain’s long term usage.

Updated Fee Distribution Supports dYdX Strategy
Earlier in October, dYdX introduced a revised plan for fee allocations. Governance suggested a 50% share for stakers and 50% for the Buyback Program. The previous split sent funds to several areas, such as Megavault and the Treasury SubDAO.
The new structure thus removes those parts and directs all fees toward staking and buybacks.
The Treasury SubDAO currently holds more than 60 million DYDX tokens. This reduced the need for extra allocations. Megavault also benefits from higher token prices and more activity across the chain and dYdX said the streamlined model improves staking rewards.
Supporters believe this setup will encourage greater participation from token holders. It also creates a simple structure that aligns with how the chain wants to manage liquidity and incentives.
