#2 overall across 9 scored appchains / l3s. 10 points behind #1 Abstract. Scored 69 on the published 41–99 scale under methodology 2026.09.15, from the evidence read in August 2026.
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (14.2 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest. Best in the pool on 2 of 4.
Each line is the ranking run again with one of dYdX Chain’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.
Smallest climb: security inherited from settlement layer 2 → 7 passes Abstract, #1.
Rank on every objective dimension among the rows scored on it. A criterion in the top third of its pool is listed as a lead, the bottom third as a trail; the middle is neither. Popularity, size and commercial terms are not dimensions.
Nearest by published score in either direction. Each card states the criteria on which the two rows differ and the cost difference under the same scenario inputs; the compare arithmetic below shows why the higher one ranks higher.
The compare workspace's arithmetic applied to these two rows. Each dimension's share of the gap is its weight × the difference, on the displayed scale — it reproduces the displayed gap of 10.0 to within rounding.
The rank above is the published one — the same for every visitor. Answer the category's questions and this section shows where dYdX Chain lands for you, which criteria your answers weight up, and which stated needs the record does or does not meet. The published rank stays beside it.
Metered usage beyond whatever the plan includes, for a year. Excludes egress, support tiers and enterprise minimums. Change an input and every figure recomputes from the published rate; the published rank does not move.
