The dYdX Foundation is pleased to announce the successful completion of its DYDX stake delegation (the “Foundation Delegation(s)”) rebalance. This update was carried out in accordance with the new selection criteria outlined in this previous blog post.

Overview of the Rebalance

This delegation rebalance is part of the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to support a secure, decentralized, and high-performing validator set. As detailed in the revised criteria, the Foundation aimed to:

  • Prioritize validators that demonstrate strong performance, adherence to network rules, and governance participation.
  • Align delegations with infrastructure best practices as recommended by the MEV Committee - Validator Guidelines.

As of March 21, 2025, the Foundation has ~6.2M DYDX available for Foundation Delegation.
