According to dYdX Foundation on July 2, Arcus is an independent product built on separate infrastructure and does not impact dYdX Chain, which remains governed by token holders, protected by validators, and community-owned. Trading, deposits, withdrawals, staking, governance, and validator operations on dYdX Chain continue operating normally.
The DYDX token's mechanisms, supply, and operational characteristics remain unchanged, with staking rewards continuing to be paid in USDC from protocol fees. Any decisions regarding token swaps or migrations require joint approval from dYdX Labs, token holders, and governance participants.
