| 10 | +The Order Entry Gateway Service (OEGS) is open-sourced infrastructure that provides a direct, optimized path from traders to the proposer set, reducing latency, increasing throughput, and lowering barriers for professional and retail traders alike. |
| 11 | +OEGS is now live on testnet. |

13 | | -At dYdX, the mission is clear: make perpetuals trading as fast, fair, and reliable as possible — without compromising the decentralization that defines DeFi. As the protocol scales, the infrastructure that routes and processes orders must evolve alongside it. |

44 | 40 | We recently introduced the concept of designated proposers (blog post [here](https://www.dydx.xyz/blog/governance-controlled-path-reliability-and-performance)) — a governance-selected subset of validators responsible for proposing blocks. This change to the open-source software creates a predictable topology, making it possible to route transactions directly to the next proposer instead of broadcasting widely. This is a fully deterministic enhancement to CometBFT that brings increased resilience, network performance, and operational clarity — while preserving the full validator set, stake-based voting power, and decentralized governance of the network. |
