Starting today, users can deposit $100 or more into dYdX with zero fees (instantly and seamlessly) thanks to Skip:Go Fast.
dYdX is built on the belief that a world-class trading experience begins long before the first trade. It starts with the very first step: getting funds on-chain and ready to trade. That’s why free deposits via Skip:Go Fast are now live, a major step toward removing the cost and complexity associated with cross-chain activity. This applies to deposits made via:
- Ethereum
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Base
- Polygon
- Avalanche
Why Free Deposits?
Moving funds shouldn’t be confusing, slow, or expensive. Yet for many users, especially those bridging from Ethereum, gas fees, slippage, and manual routing have been serious barriers to entry.
The goal is simple: make getting started on dYdX effortless, and more rewarding than ever.
Whether you're a first-time user or a returning trader, free deposits put more funds to work from day one - no hidden fees, no surprises.
Why This Matters
Instant Deposits are one of the fastest and most seamless ways to move funds onto dYdX. By waiving fees on deposits of $100 or more, this update helps remove a key barrier to getting started, particularly for those exploring DeFi and perpetuals for the first time.
For users, this means:
- A lower-cost way to try dYdX for the first time
- No deposit fees on eligible Instant Deposits (≥ $100)
- Faster access to trading with seamless, fee-free funding
dYdX’s Commitment to a Frictionless Future
