Upon depositing funds into the account, dYdX users automatically begin to earn interest, as their assets are entered into the global lending pool specific to each cryptocurrency. The platform guarantees security for lenders by ensuring that borrowers have enough collateral in their account at all times. Borrowing on dYdX enables users to instantly acquire any asset available on the platform using funds in their possession as collateral for the loan. dYdX also features an order book architecture in contrast to automated market makers such as Uniswap.
