Dependency graph (protocols depended upon)
dYdX v4 (dYdX Chain)'s assessment for RD-F-050 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Key dependencies: (1) Slinky sidecar (Skip Protocol) — existential dependency for price discovery; (2) CometBFT consensus engine; (3) Cosmos SDK standard modules; (4) Noble chain via IBC — USDC inflow channel; (5) CEX price APIs (Slinky-mediated). Multiple critical non-redundant dependencies. Skip Protocol received 700K DYDX + 500K USDC grant for Slinky integration, indicating deep institutional dependency.
