Use DYDX by default for trading actions. Reach for PrivateNode directly only if you specifically want the lower-level node wrapper.

Connect For Trading

DYDX.new() uses DYDX_MNEMONIC if you do not pass a mnemonic explicitly. For testnet trading with PrivateNode.testnet(), the default is DYDX_TESTNET_MNEMONIC.
