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

- 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.
