dYdX Governance Weighs Proposal to Add BONK as Official Integration Partner

dYdX appears to be exploring a deeper tie-up with the Solana meme-token ecosystem after the dYdX Foundation tweeted that governance is considering a proposal to approve BONK as an official integration partner under the protocol’s Partner Revenue Share Program.

The proposal posted on the dYdX community forum lays out concrete mechanics: a BONK-branded frontend would route orders to the dYdX Chain, and the framework would divert 50% of the protocol’s fee revenue generated by BONK-attributed flow back to BONK via the order-router revenue-share arrangement. The forum post argues that BONK, described as one of Solana’s largest retail ecosystems, could bring a substantial cohort of retail traders to dYdX if the integration moves forward.

This idea plugs directly into dYdX’s recently launched Partner Revenue Share model, which is explicitly designed to let governance-approved partners monetize order flow by sharing on-chain trading fees with third parties that bring users to the protocol. For partners, the program is pitched as a transparent, on-chain way to align incentives between builders, referring platforms and the dYdX protocol itself.

If approved by governance, the BONK integration would be a notable example of a meme-token community being formally incentivized to route trading activity to a layer-2 derivatives venue. The proposal is open for discussion on the dYdX forum, where community members and governors can weigh in on the details and potential impacts before any formal vote.
