Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for dYdX yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated dYdX across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

Negative9 labels1not counted in share

First choiceAlternativeMentionNegative37 labels in all, every segment counted; 2 of the 5 first choices count toward share, since the comparative and negative framings do not. The bar is one segment per label class, to scale within the framing.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Stick to well-known, audited DEXs like Uniswap, dYdX, or SushiSwap” Mistral Small · DEX · negative prompt · first choice

“dYdX dominates the decentralized derivatives market with over $5 billion in daily trading volume” Claude Haiku 4.5 · DEX · direct prompt · alternative

“Curve, dYdX—top by trading volume, with proven track records.” Grok 4.1 Fast · DEX · negative prompt · alternative

“For derivatives at a modest cost → dYdX (dYdX Chain).” GLM 4.7 FlashX · DEX · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

Named alongside

The products named in the same answers as dYdX, over the 37 answers that named it. Took the first choice instead counts the answers where the other product was the first choice and dYdX was named but was not.

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named dYdX. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 32 of the 37 answers that named dYdX and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when dYdX's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as dYdX, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for dYdX by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where dYdX is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name dYdX, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
