Think of @dYdX v4 like a futuristic stock market except instead of Wall Street brokers, everything is automated, transparent, and controlled by blockchain. No middlemen, no shady deals, just code enforcing the rules Why v4 is a Big Deal Previous versions of dYdX relied on some centralized parts (like order matching). But v4 flips the script; - Everything is on-chain (even the order book!). - Trades happen in milliseconds (thanks to Cosmos). - You don’t pay gas fees (like trading on Binance, but decentralized). It’s like upgrading from a bicycle to a self-driving Tesla same goal (getting you where you need to go), but way faster and sleeker. --------------------------------- How It Works (The Simple Version) 1. The Foundation: Cosmos = Speed Control - dYdX v4 is built on Cosmos, a blockchain designed for fast, customizable apps. - Uses CometBFT (think of it as a turbocharged engine) to settle trades in seconds. 2. The Order Book Lives on the Blockchain - Normally, order books are run by exchanges (like Coinbase). - In v4, every bid/ask is recorded on-chain no hidden manipulation. - Validators (network operators) match trades fairly and transparently. 3. Gasless Trading? Yes, Really. - Normally, DeFi trades cost gas (annoying!). - dYdX v4 flips the model: traders pay fees, not gas. - Feels like a CEX… but you control your funds the whole time. 4. Who Runs This Thing? Validators (like mini-exchange operators) process trades. - Stakers (people who lock $DYDX) earn fees and vote on upgrades. - You can participate just by trading or staking no Wall Street license needed. -------------------------------- Why This Matters - For Traders: Faster, cheaper, and just as smooth as centralized exchanges but without trusting a company. - For Crypto: Proves DeFi can compete with Wall Street on its own turf. - For Builders: Opens the door for new financial apps on a truly decentralized exchange. dYdX v4 isn’t just an upgrade it’s a blueprint for the future of trading. No banks, no brokers, just math and codemaking markets fairer for everyone.

what is codemaking? is it actual coding?

NSA Cybersecurity Director Dave Luber shared the codebreaking and codemaking spy agency’s observations at a threat intelligence conference in Washington hosted by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. washingtontimes.com/news/202…

'Between Silk and Cyanide' is about Britain's Special Operation Executive of WWII, which conducted sabotage operations in occupied Europe. The author, Leo Marks, became SOE's Codemaster at a very young age and the book is about the agents he met and briefed as well as the technical aspects of codemaking & codebreaking. I reviewed the book here: ricochet.com/1371313/book-re…

#TriviaOfTheDay ‘The Navajo Code Talkers.’ During WW II, codemaking & codebreaking reached their peak. We have heard of the Enigma and how the allies managed to break the codes with the help of Alan Turing & Team. But have you heard of Navajo Code Talkers? Let’s find out.

NEW #SpyCast - “Codebreaking and Codemaking Down Under” – with @JohnBlaxland1 and Clare Birgin. John and Clare, coauthors of the new book Revealing Secrets, sit down with @spyhistorian to discuss Australian codebreaking. 🇦🇺 Listen now ➡️ bit.ly/4bmW2u0

well I just threw up a little putting this out there but here it is. my first tech blog post. thanks to @elliezub for the artwork, @GrahamTheDev @LawrenceDCodes and @adityaoberai for the notes and enjoy. #blog #hashnode filmmaking === codeMaking { by Jason } from @hashnode jasonetorres.hashnode.dev/fi…

Everyone knows the story of Enigma and secret codebreaking in #WWII: the triumph of #BletchleyPark. Except that excellence in #codebreaking was nearly betrayed by incompetence in codemaking. Discover the full story in 'Enigma Traitors' - bit.ly/3tKkSTl

Happy 1989 Day to all who celebrate the Pop Culture Queen of Codemaking, Taylor Swift! Uncover how SPY's Aliza Bran decodes @taylorswift13's hidden messages through the lens of an intelligence agent in this fun @Refinery29 read..✨ bit.ly/3s8fqJK #1989TaylorsVersion

The shifting focus at the codebreaking and codemaking agency will produce a new China strategy from his team soon, said Mr. Frederick, the assistant deputy director for China at NSA. washingtontimes.com/news/202…

And if you're hoping for new games, I'll be releasing Encode on 5/23 at 1400 hours EDT. Encode is a codemaking, codebreaking, story-creating game designed with 8-11yo in mind. But it's fun for anyone who wants to feel like a spy! More details coming at Open Story Games!

How long do you think it will be before someone comes up with an application for this? In codemaking? Computer programming? 🤓🤔

Cipher club! A weekly (Tuesdays after school) codebreaking/codemaking club. The regular attendees are 3 Y8s & a Y7; others turn up now and then. We learn about different codes & ciphers & how to break them. Enter competitions when they're on.

Fun Fact: The International Sign Association often collaborates with federal agencies, technical regulators and codemaking bodies to develop positive codes that benefit the sign, graphics and visual communications industry! Watch ISA's latest video to learn more.

Did you know ISA often collaborates with federal agencies, technical regulators and codemaking bodies to develop positive codes that benefit the industry? Watch ISA's latest video which breaks down this important technical work.

Cryptology (plus an intro into handwriting analysis) is so interesting … I mean, who WOULDN’T enjoy a little codemaking and codebreaking?! Look at those smiles! ❤️ @LiscanoElem #fisdquest #liscanoproud #futureready

Alan Turing, who died before AIDS was even a thing? That's right, AIDS! Turns out in addition to wrecking Nazi codemaking efforts, he also invented the time machine. Maybe the British government shouldn't gave driven him to suicide under morality laws they later repealed anyway

Tonight we celebrate #LagBaOmer It is important to recognize the codes embedded in our symbols, see their pattern, and rediscover their meaning. “Codemaking is a dangerous business, for the keys to the code can be forgotten…” Thank you @Sultanknish danielgreenfield.org/2014/05…
