Title: dYdX doesn't allow US customer to trade? Post by: greentech2 on September 29, 2021, 07:34:16 PM I log in dYdX and connect MetaMask wallet. But the website shows that it doesn't allow US customers. I can trade at UniSwap. What is the difference between dYdX and UniSwap?

This means that dYdX can offer less slippage to traders which can improve their trading experience. And unlike Uniswap, dYdX offers an advanced trading feature such as Perpetual Trading and Margin trading which is commonly seen on a centralized exchange like Binance.

Of course, you might have to be consistent with your IP addresses or even use residential IP addresses to avoid raising any red flags by the exchange.
They do have a part where they prohibit usage of VPN in their terms and conditions, but without KYC verification. I think that won't be a problem. Title: Re: dYdX doesn't allow US customer to trade?

Be careful on using them with VPN it's prohibited according to their terms. You can read this local restriction against US users and other countries. - https://help.dydx.exchange/en/articles/4798063-location-restrictions Does it seem more countries are not allowed to use their service?

Shouldn't really matter though, right? The warning is just for regulatory compliance reasons. It's not like they can lock up OP's funds because as far as I know dYdX is totally non-custodial, being an Ethereum layer-2 platform. https://i.imgur.com/quMFSPl.png Title: Re: dYdX doesn't allow US customer to trade?
