Founded back in 2017 from ex-Coinbase and Uber engineer, Antonio Juliano, dYdX is a leading decentralized exchange offering Perpetual, Margin, & Spot trading, as well as borrow / lend pools on Ethereum. Users can earn interest or take loans for a nominal fee as well as trade on margin with custom leverage.
