dYdX Merch is a long successful program that enables the community to embrace dYdX in their daily lives beyond online and trading circles. Merch provides giveaways and freebies for top trading events and encourages the community to create content and generate word-of-mouth. The six month renewal will sustain these activities and allow for new product development as well as operational refinement.

Over the last six months, the dYdX merch program has been highly successful at engaging contributors, promoting dYdX at events, and rewarding community members. As such, we’ll be renewing the merch program for another six months. This is inclusive of a retroactive grant of compensation for the month of October, during which the Toyoji team continued to run the merch program without pay. This new iteration of the merch program will seek to increase community involvement in the merchandise selection process. New items of merchandise will be voted upon by the community before being released.
