CoinRoutes is now the first partner that dYdX governance has voted into the Revenue Share Program. The move links a Wall-Street-grade trading engine to a DeFi derivatives venue. Traders who rely on dYdX for futures and perpetuals should see tighter spreads plus deeper books, and the vote shows the community is willing to let outside specialists handle part of the plumbing.
The partnership is the latest sign that decentralized exchanges want the same execution science used by brokers in traditional markets. CoinRoutes already runs algorithms that split large orders across many venues but also chase the top-of-book price. When those algorithms point to dYdX, resting orders there fill faster and closer to the mid-price, so depth grows as slippage shrinks.
More attractive books usually pull in more volume, and every extra dollar of fees goes into the revenue sharing pool that governance controls. By letting an external firm perform the routing, dYdX keeps its on-chain governance but gives pros a reason to treat the protocol like a prime venue.

Adoption should benefit as traders who demand stable, low-slippage fills have a new reason to try dYdX. Liquidity and efficiency could improve because tighter spreads and deeper ladders help scalpers and size traders alike.
Revenues may rise as every extra trade adds fees that flow to the shared pool with approved partners. Operational risk remains since an outside router is one more piece of software that must stay online, stay audited, and stay aligned with governance votes.
CoinRoutes is the first firm that governance approved for fee sharing on dYdX. The focus is on smart order routing plus execution algorithms, with an expected outcome of deeper books and higher turnover, and a risk profile that includes an extra tech layer needing constant checks and community oversight.
The vote creates the first formal tie between a professional execution shop and a decentralized derivatives exchange. Whether books deepen and volumes rise will hinge on traders actually using the new route and on both sides watching the code every day.
