What are the withdrawal options on dYdX Chain?

There are two main options to onboard onto dYdX Chain.

Withdrawing via a centralized exchange (Coinbase): Coinbase is currently the only centralized exchange to support withdrawals from dYdX Chain.
Withdrawing to another chain's wallet address: Traders may also withdraw funds to a destination address on any supported chain. Withdrawal times and fees will vary depending on the destination chain and asset.

What does the withdrawal flow look like?

Traders will be able to withdraw funds by clicking “Withdraw” at the top right hand corner of the trading panel. There will be a “Withdraw” panel that pops up and gives the trader the option to withdraw.

Withdrawal rate limits and gating

As a default setting, withdrawals of Noble USDC are rate limited to max(1% of TVL, $1mm) per hour
As a default setting, withdrawals of Noble USDC are rate limited to max(10% of TVL, $10mm) per day

These rate limit parameters can be updated by governance.

Withdrawal gating:

All subaccount transfers and withdrawals will be gated for 50 blocks if a negative collateralized subaccount is seen in state and/or can't be liquidated or deleveraged
All subaccount transfers and withdrawals will also be gated for 50 blocks if a 5+ minute chain outage occurs.
