Market Listing Initiative

Description

To help streamline new market listings, the dYdX Grants program is exploring an initiative to add new markets to dYdX Chain. The goal is to submit proposals in a timely and efficient manner, such that dYdX can list new markets in response to trading demand. Ultimately, we hope to improve the listing and maintenance, including delisting if necessary, of markets on dYdX.

We are looking for candidates interested in leading this initiative through grants funding. Contributor(s) under this RFP will have the following responsibilities:

1. Manage a dYdX Chain multisig seeded with enough DYDX to support multiple simultaneous governance proposals to add new markets to dYdX Chain.
2. Conduct market research and user sentiment analysis to find markets in demand to list on dYdX.
3. Own the governance process to list new markets

Qualifications

The ideal candidate(s) should meet the following qualifications:

• Experience trading on dYdX and crypto markets in general.
• Experience with leading onchain community proposals, ideally within Cosmos SDK.

• Solid understanding of financial markets, crypto markets, and derivatives.

• Product/Project management experience to drive the initiative forward.
