dYdX opened an on-chain vote on its proposed v9.9 protocol upgrade, according to PANews’ November 13, 2026 report, published at 22:22 Beijing time. The vote runs from November 13 at 19:32 to November 16 at 19:32 Beijing time.
If approved, the upgrade is planned for block 114,220,000, estimated at around November 17 at 17:00 UTC. It would move dYdX’s USDC reserves from Noble to Injective because Circle is discontinuing USDC on Noble.
After the upgrade, USDC deposits would need to go through Injective; deposits through Noble would be returned. Existing balances and trades would remain unchanged, while withdrawals could still use either Noble or Injective.
