What is different

A fully on-chain order book, run by every validator

dYdX v4 is not an AMM or a single-sequencer venue. Every validator runs the matching engine, so you get a real central limit order book, with limit orders, tight spreads, and no pool price impact, settled on-chain. Order placement and cancellation are gasless, which makes it well suited to dense grid bots and high-frequency strategies. Coinner connects with trade-only API keys, so you keep custody the whole time.

Gasless orders

Placing and cancelling orders costs no gas, so a dense grid bot is not taxed per order.

MegaVault + instant listings

A protocol-owned liquidity vault seeds any permissionlessly listed market, so the long tail of perps stays tradable.

Equity-tier order budget

Open-order limits scale with account equity, so adding collateral unlocks denser grids and more concurrent bots.
