Re-deployed to new addresses in last year
dYdX v4 (dYdX Chain)'s assessment for RD-F-088 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
dYdX v4 is a Cosmos-SDK appchain. There are no EVM contract addresses to redeploy. Chain software upgrades (v4.0.0 to v4.0.2; Oct 2025 patch) are in-place validator software upgrades via CometBFT governance upgrade mechanism, not address-breaking contract redeployments. No equivalent of retiring a prior deploy and redeploying to new addresses applies in this architecture. Green: no address-breaking redeployment has occurred; protocol continuity maintained.
