The cryptocurrency exchange dYdX, one of the most used DeFi trading platforms, is moving closer to being a fully decentralized project as global regulators increase scrutiny of the digital-asset sector.

The exchange, which operates in what it describes as a hybrid decentralized model, is starting a testing network that will allow developers to check for glitches before the official launch of the next version of dYdX. The exchange anticipates going live with the revamp in September.
