- Uses dPoS mechanism, DYM tokens are used for staking, delegation, and governance.

- The goal is to become a “universal settlement & consensus layer” connecting multiple chains via IBC.

- Mainnet launched on 6/2/2024 with Genesis ROLLDROP of 70M DYM (~$70M market cap).

2/ 📅 Important timeline (2024 – 07/2025)


- Feb 6, 2024: Official mainnet, Genesis airdrop of 70M DYM to early users.

- Q2–Q3/2024: Deploy IBC bridge, public AMM, launch RollApp “The Singularity Point.”

- Q4/2024 – Q1/2025: Prepare Season 2 airdrop, incentivization for stakers and bridge users.

- July 2, 2025: Announce the “Beyond” upgrade: enable permissionless RollApp, reduce block time from 5s to 1s, expand scaling.

3/ 🤝 Partnerships & strategic partners


- Developed according to IBC standards, supporting Cosmos chains and RollApps.

- Has a vibrant builder and validator community, integrated into the modular blockchain development system.

- Benefits from cyclical growth drives via airdrop incentives & bridge participation “RollApp Credit Streams.”


4/ 💰 Revenue & operational fees


- Estimated daily revenue from chain fees ~$192/day, revenue from dApp $1,092/day ($327k/quarter) according to DefiLlama.

- Revenue model based on staking fees, transaction fees, and a share from RollApp collections.

5/ 📊 Tokenomics & DYM price


- Price$DYM current: ~$0.2325 (Confirmed by Binance, CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko).

- Ideal infrastructure for RollApps plug-and-play, quickly supporting and optimizing settlement via IBC.

- “Beyond” upgrade enhances overall performance, block time 1s – competing with L2s like Solana.

- Active dev activity, many modular blockchain projects building on the hub.

7/ 🛣️ Roadmap & direction 2025


- Season 2 airdrop promotes long-term staking & increases decentralization.

- Beyond upgrade (Q3/2025): allows permissionless RollApp, block time 1s, enhances UX.

- RollApp Credit Streams plan encourages increased TVB and complex on-chain economy.

- Announce diverse RollApps from DeFi, gaming to social and infra services.

8/ ✅ & ⚠️ Opportunities – Challenges

✅ Suitable modular model “Internet of rollapps” – highly promising.

✅ Beyond upgrade – a major milestone in performance and adoption.

✅ Community and dev network are growing strongly.

⚠️ Market Cap is still low compared to potential; price drop from ATH may affect sentiment.

⚠️ Intense competition from leading L2s like Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Solana…

9/ 🧾 Conclusion

Dymension is rapidly advancing on its path to becoming an important settlement hub for modular blockchains, thanks to the “enshrined” RollApps structure and the Beyond upgrade as a turning point. With a market cap of ~$75M and an increasingly dynamic ecosystem, DYM has strong recovery potential as RollApps adoption increases. However, monitoring post-ATH developments and competition in the L2 ecosystem is essential.
