dYdX Removes Deposit Fees on $100+ Instant Transfers Across Major Chains

dYdX has introduced a new update to simplify and accelerate user onboarding: starting June 24, all Instant Deposits of $100 or more are now fee-free across multiple supported networks. This applies to transfers made via Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and Avalanche.

What’s Changing

Instant Deposits—already one of the fastest ways to fund a dYdX account—now come without platform deposit fees for transfers of $100 or more. This change is active immediately and will remain available for the foreseeable future, with no set expiration date.

Why This Matters

For many users, high fees and friction during onboarding remain key hurdles in entering DeFi. By eliminating deposit costs on eligible transactions, dYdX lowers the barrier for new and returning users, making it easier to explore trading perpetual contracts and DeFi functionality without upfront costs.

What Users Get

• $0 fees on Instant Deposits of $100 or more
• Near-instant fund settlement via Skip:Go Fast architecture
• Seamless routing and simplified UX with support for major wallets
• Secure bridging across six leading blockchains

How It Works

The update is powered by Skip:Go Fast’s Solver system, which optimizes routing, liquidity, and uptime across supported networks. Users simply select a supported chain, initiate an Instant Deposit of $100 or more, and see funds appear within moments—without paying a fee.

Looking Ahead

This improvement is part of dYdX’s broader mission to make decentralized trading faster, more intuitive, and more accessible. With ongoing enhancements to infrastructure and incentives, the platform continues to focus on delivering a user-first DeFi experience.To get started, visit dYdX and explore the Instant Deposit feature.
