The dYdX Foundation is pleased to announce the successful completion of its DYDX stake delegation (the “Foundation Delegation(s)”) rebalance. This update was carried out in accordance with the new selection criteria outlined in this previous blog post.
Overview of the Rebalance
This delegation rebalance is part of the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to support a secure, decentralized, and high-performing validator set. As detailed in the revised criteria, the Foundation aimed to:
