THORWallet integrates dYdX, bringing decentralized perpetual trading to the wallet with a seamless user experience.
Derivatives remain a tricky frontier for many retail users in the cryptocurrency space. Centralized exchanges dominate the market; they offer convenience, but at the cost of custody and transparency.
Meanwhile, decentralized alternatives often feel fragmented: accessing derivatives onchain typically requires juggling isolated protocols, crosschain bridges and separate trading interfaces, each adding friction to an activity that depends heavily on speed.
Mobility adds another layer of difficulty to derivatives trading. Perpetual trading, for example, has largely stayed tied to desktops and specialized platforms. This means everyday users miss out on sophisticated trading tools unless they compromise either flexibility or security.
Perpetual crypto trading goes mobile
THORWallet, a mobile-first self-custodial DeFi wallet, addresses these problems by integrating with dYdX, one of the most established decentralized perpetual trading protocols. This partnership brings onchain perpetual futures trading — long the domain of desktop-based or custodial platforms — into a mobile app environment without forcing users to give up control of their assets.
Thanks to THORWallet’s crosschain infrastructure, users can deposit assets from any supported blockchain directly into their perpetual account within the app without bridging or secondary tools.
dYdX’s custom layer-1 blockchain, which hosts its fully decentralized trading engine, powers the integration. With 48 validators securing the network, no single party controls execution. Pairing dYdX’s deep liquidity, leverage and low fees with THORWallet’s mobile-first design turns the app into a versatile trading hub: swaps, yield, crosschain liquidity and now derivatives — all under a single, non-custodial roof.
To celebrate the launch, THORWallet and dYdX have introduced exclusive trading competitions with a $165,000 USDC prize pool. The ongoing contests reward the most active and successful perpetual traders using the wallet.
Beyond competitions, THORWallet users also gain access to dYdX’s incentive programs. From Sept. 1, 2025, traders receive 50% of their fees rebated in the DYDX token monthly, automatically credited to their in-app account. Users will also benefit from dYdX’s $3 million monthly reward pool in every trade through THORWallet.
Removing frictions in DeFi
Both projects arrive at this collaboration with strong track records. dYdX has surpassed $8.3 billion in trading volume in the last 30 days alone, securing its position as one of the largest decentralized derivatives platforms. THORWallet, meanwhile, has processed over $1.1 billion in trading volume, ranking among the top volume drivers on THORChain, Chainflip and Maya Protocol.
THORWallet’s broader DeFi offerings include liquidity provision, multisignature wallet security and even real-world spending through a crypto debit card. By layering perpetual futures onto this toolkit, the wallet reinforces its role as an all-in-one gateway for both everyday users and institutional traders.
“Our goal has always been to remove friction and unite the best of DeFi in one user-friendly app,” the THORWallet team has emphasized. “Integrating a derivatives protocol like dYdX is a major step in that direction, especially as it brings advanced trading capabilities to mobile users in a secure, self-custodial manner.”
Over the coming weeks, THORWallet plans to expand its ecosystem with the launch of TITN, a utility token designed to recycle up to 70% of trading fees back to its community.
Together, THORWallet and dYdX are advancing decentralized derivatives into the mobile era while keeping custody in users’ hands. The collaboration underscores a shared vision: making DeFi practical, rewarding and accessible on a global scale.
