Introducing Chorus One's Bridge and Stake solution for DYDX

The DYDX token, part of dYdX v4, serves a multi-faceted role. It empowers users to actively engage in governance decisions while also playing a crucial role in maintaining the network's operations and enhancing its security by staking their tokens.

To use and stake dYdX v4 tokens, the dYdX Chain needs to onboard users from various platforms, including rollups, Ethereum L1, other app-chains, and centralized exchanges, to its Cosmos version. Traditionally, bridging tokens from Ethereum to the Cosmos ecosystem has been a cumbersome activity.

To simplify the process and make staking on Cosmos a breeze for our customers, we have developed a novel solution, using dYdX's original bridging smart contract, that enables you to move your DYDX tokens from Ethereum to Cosmos in a swift, seamless transaction. Not only that, our bridging solution also allows you to stake your DYDX in the same flow, providing added convenience and efficiency!

To recap, dYdX v4 is the latest iteration of dYdX, one of the most prominent decentralized exchanges and premier trading platform for cryptocurrency. The DEX initially launched as an Ethereum-based Layer 2 solution and has now made a significant move by transitioning to its dedicated blockchain, known as the dYdX Chain (or dYdX v4), built using the Cosmos SDK. We've compiled all the essential information about the chain, complete with an in-depth exploration of their move to Cosmos and Chorus One's ongoing involvement with dYdX since the very outset. Check it out here.

Why should you use Chorus One’s bridging solution?

1- Bridge & Stake in just 1 transaction: Our bridge offers a remarkably streamlined process for transferring DYDX tokens from Ethereum to Cosmos, setting a new standard in the industry. But it doesn't end here. You can take it a step further by staking your DYDX within the same transaction, allowing you to bridge and stake your DYDX simultaneously in one smooth action.

2- Simplified Onboarding: Our solution enables users from diverse platforms, including rollups, Ethereum L1, other app-chains, and centralized exchanges, to seamlessly join the dYdX Chain on Cosmos.

3- Security Assurance: Our bridging solution is underpinned by a meticulously audited smart contract, ensuring a straightforward and secure staking experience for users. The bridge contract underwent a thorough audit during its development by dYdX. Additionally, when it comes to our frontend and backend, we've adhered to strict secure software development practices as outlined by ISO requirements.

With an understanding of why we developed this bridging solution and how it enhances your staking experience, let’s proceed to a step-by-step walkthrough of utilizing our bridge.

Key Information

*Since DYDX inflation goes to traders, dYdX stakers, in contrast, will receive 100% of the trading fees that are paid out in USDC.

1. First, make sure you have added the dYdX Chain to your Keplr Wallet. You can do this by visiting https://chains.keplr.app/ and searching for DYDX.

2. To begin staking DYDX tokens with Chorus One, visit Chorus One’s bridging page and connect a) the Ethereum wallet that has DYDX tokens and b) the target Cosmos wallet where you wish to transfer the tokens to.

• For dYdX Ethereum, we support all popular wallets and Walletconnect supported wallets. However, for dYdX Cosmos we currently only support Keplr Wallet.

3. Next, connect your Kepler wallet to receive the bridged DYDX tokens. If you do not have a Keplr wallet, we recommend creating a new wallet and installing the browser extension before proceeding to the next step.

4. Once you have connected both wallets, you’re now ready to bridge and stake. Click on ‘Next’ to proceed.

5. Next, select the number of tokens you want to bridge and stake. Then, click on 'Confirm Amount'.

• By default, the screen configures the bridge amount and the stake amount to be the same. But, you can change the number of tokens through this screen.

6. Now, you’re almost set to Bridge. In order to proceed, you must first approve the smart contract interaction. Clicking on ‘Approve’ below will only allow your wallet to interact with the Chorus One’s Bridge.

7. After approving the transaction, you will be shown the respective ETH transaction on Etherscan on a different tab.

8. The next step is to Bridge the tokens to the dYdX Chain. Click on the ‘Bridge’ button to initiate the bridge process.

• To facilitate the Bridge transaction, we leverage the smart contract developed by the dydx foundation.
• After the transaction is signed on your Ethereum wallet, the Bridging process can take up to 48 hours.

The next step helps you to pre-sign the staking transaction so that the tokens will be staked as soon as they reach the dYdX Chain, and you will be notified by us when the process has been completed if you choose to submit your email address.

9. Click on the ‘Stake’ button to pre-sign the staking transaction.

• You will be asked to confirm the transaction on your Keplr wallet.

10. The staking process will be completed in 48 hours after you have pre-signed the transaction!

About Chorus One

‍What is The Graph?

The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and IPFS. The protocol lets anyone make blockchain data easily accessible by building and publishing public APIs called subgraphs.

‍

‍Why is The Graph migrating to Arbitrum?

The Graph has decided to move the protocol to Arbitrum since bringing the protocol smart contracts onto a Layer 2 network allows for gas savings (up to 26x), faster transactions and still being able to ultimately rely on the security inherited from Ethereum.

For example, Indexers could open and close allocations to index a greater number of subgraphs with higher frequency, developers could deploy and update subgraphs with greater ease, delegators could delegate $GRT with increased frequency, and curators could add or remove signal to a larger number of subgraphs - all actions previously considered too cost-prohibitive to perform frequently due to gas.

‍

‍When should you migrate your delegations?

You can delegate anytime over the next few weeks.

Currently, the reward share is 50% on Ethereum and 50% on Arbitrum.

‍

‍How secure is this migration?

Rest assured that your funds will be completely safe after the migration, and any unclaimed rewards will also move to Arbitrum, once you have moved your delegation.

‍

‍How to migrate your delegations to Arbitrum: A guide

‍

1. Visit https://thegraph.com/explorer and connect your wallet with your current delegation in the top right corner.

2. Expand the menu in the top right corner and click on the ‘Overview’ button to look at the general stats of your activity within The Graph.
3. Once you get a notification to start the migration process, you will see the below note pop up.

4. You will then be taken to the following page. Here, Click on ‘Transfer Delegation’.

• Ensure that the Current Indexer address displayed matches the Chorus One address: 0xe63e935fba572784d5aa40715e372e7948bbdb12

5.  The Receiving Arbitrum One Wallet Address will already contain the same address as your current Ethereum wallet.

• Ensure that you have control over the Arbitrum address! If it's an EOA (Externally Owned Account), a typical wallet denoted as "Address" on etherscan, you're all set unless you want to specify a different wallet address.
• If you’re using a Safe Wallet or another smart contract wallet, you may need to update the receiving Arbitrum One wallet address.

6. For your convenience, consider sending a small amount of ETH to this wallet address through the official Arbitrum bridge at https://bridge.arbitrum.io if you lack ETH to cover gas expenses. As an optional precaution, you can perform any transaction with the wallet to verify your control over it.

• Keep in mind that the migration process is irreversible, so sending tokens to an address you don't control will result in permanent loss.

7. Then, click on the ‘Transfer delegation’ button. Your transfer will be initiated.

8. You will then see a countdown appear. Once the countdown reaches Zero, the migration will be completed, and your delegations will have moved to Arbitrum!  

• Since the network can have gas spikes, and you might be required to take additional actions, we advise you to stay nearby till the migration has been completed.

Note - Going forward, you will still be able to manage your delegations from this portal. Just make sure you're on the correct network, "Arbitrum One".

Here’s a walkthrough guide by The Graph Foundation to help you with the migration.
