dYdX was founded by Antonio Juliano, an experienced programmer with a background in blockchain technology. He started in the crypto world in 2015 as a software engineer at Coinbase. He graduated in computer science from Princeton University and then founded dYdX in 2017 along with Zhuoxun Yin. The latter is Head of Operations at dYdX, having previously worked in marketing and consulting at Nimble and Bain & Company. Zhuoxun Yin graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor's degree in commerce. Initially, dYdX began with lending, borrowing and margin trading on Etherum's layer-1, but after a few years it also offered cross-margin perpetual trading. This means that traders, who have deposited their assets with dYdX, can use this as collateral for their trading positions. The protocol was built using smart contracts and STARK, which are zero-knowledge rollups.
