According to @dydxfoundation, the dYdX Foundation hosted a discussion with validators Kingnodes and Rhinostake to explain the Designated Proposers mechanism on dYdX (source: dYdX Foundation on X, Jan 13, 2026). The video focuses on block times and network latency and why these factors matter for traders who expect button-press execution to just work on dYdX (source: dYdX Foundation on X, Jan 13, 2026). It is positioned as everything traders need to know about how Designated Proposers relate to the execution experience on dYdX (source: dYdX Foundation on X, Jan 13, 2026). The content is delivered as a video resource shared directly by the dYdX Foundation (source: dYdX Foundation on X, Jan 13, 2026).

According to dYdX Foundation, the community appoints and rotates designated proposers, and this governance oversight contributes to a low-latency, CEX-like trading experience on dYdX, which is directly relevant to execution-sensitive trading strategies (source: dYdX Foundation, X, Nov 20, 2025). For active traders, the Foundation’s emphasis on proposer rotation highlights an operational design intended to reduce latency for order execution on dYdX (source: dYdX Foundation, X, Nov 20, 2025).
