dYdX, one of the most popular decentralized crypto trading platforms, announced the launch of its private testnet on the Cosmos blockchain. The testnet brings the DeFi crypto exchange one step closer to transitioning to a completely decentralized model from its current hybrid decentralized model.

According to a blog post by dYdX, the DeFi exchange recently achieved the third out of five milestones with the finalization of the private testnets launch. The launch is slated for 28 March 2023 and is expected to last between 2-3 weeks. The third milestone covers several objectives including Advanced order types, Dynamic funding rates, and documentation for Validators, among other things.

The decentralized trading platform plans to launch a fully public testnet by the end of July this year, thereby expanding the number of validators testing the changes. The DeFi exchange is anticipating the complete transition to Cosmos from Ethereum by September 2023, which is when its mainnet will go live.

Antonio Juliano, founder, and CEO of dYdX told Bloomberg that the end game is full decentralization for his crypto exchange. The Cosmos mainnet will help eliminate centralized entities that are currently involved with the exchanges operations. The move towards decentralization is also expected to help with the current regulatory landscape in the United States as authorities step up the crackdown on crypto.

I think the end state for everything in DeFi has to be full decentralization. The middle ground doesnt really work indefinitely.

News of the testnets imminent launch has sent native token DYDX soaring. The token has gained more than 12% since the announcement earlier, going from $2.1 all the way up to $2.4 at the time of writing.
