The dYdX Foundation Prop #280 Vote
The dYdX Foundation is hosting Prop #280 Vote, an on-chain governance vote proposing to set the NextBlockDelay parameter in the SynchronyParams to 0.3 seconds (300ms) on the dYdX Chain to reduce average block times. The vote started on September 16, 2025, and ends on September 20, 2025, at 13:03 UTC. It is a community governance vote format on the Cosmos-based dYdX Chain. Participants can vote via the governance portal at https://dydx.community/ or monitor via https://www.mintscan.io/dydx/proposals/280 using compatible wallets like Keplr.Recent News:In August 2025, dYdX released an updated 2025 roadmap focusing on Telegram trading integration launching in September, social login, batch orders, and partner fee sharing to boost growth and user experience. July 2025 included the dYdX Foundation's completion of DYDX stake delegation rebalancing to support validators. The platform also highlighted performance upgrades like the Order Gateway for better order reliability and a $3M+ monthly rewards pool for traders.Future Plans:dYdX's roadmap includes Q3 2025 launches like Designated Proposers for reduced trading latency, Scale & TWAP orders, and staking for fee reductions to enhance token utility. Longer-term goals involve perps for real-world assets, spot trading via Pocket Protector acquisition, and expanded deposit options like USDT and fiat to improve accessibility. These connect to the event by building on chain performance improvements like block time optimizations.Onchain Data:TVL: $264.07m.24h / 7d transaction volume: 24h $215.06m / 7d $1.808b.Community Sentiment:Mixed — Voting shows strong support with 94.46% Yes and 61.46% turnout, but replies express frustration over unrelated ERC-20 token migration and bridge closure issues. "Hello @dYdX, many ERC-20 DYDX holders (incl. myself) are locked out after the bridge closure."Risk Disclaimer:This proposal adjusts chain parameters for faster block times, which could improve performance but risks increasing missed blocks if not synchronized, potentially leading to DYDX token price volatility. Users should review governance details and conduct their own research.
