What is GMX (GMX)?

GMX is a decentralized trading platform for perpetual contracts, where users can trade with leverage without the need for a third-party intermediary. The platform is built on both Arbitrum and Avalanche, allowing users to utilize GMX on either of the two networks. Since both networks are fast and cost-efficient, users can enter contracts at low costs and high speeds.

Additionally, the platform offers low swap fees (exchanging one token for another cryptocurrency) and zero-price impact trading, enabling users to conduct efficient and cost-effective transactions.

Zero-price impact trading means that transactions are executed without the price of an asset being directly affected by the order size. GMX uses price oracles to ensure that market orders do not cause price impact, unlike traditional order-book based exchanges. This prevents adverse price changes when large transactions occur.

How does GMX (GMX) work?

GMX uses a multi-asset liquidity pool (GLP). Thanks to these liquidity pools, users can trade without a traditional order book-based counterparty; instead, the GLP pool acts as the counterparty. In practice, liquidity providers supply tokens to a GLP pool for trading pairs like GMX/AVAX, enabling trades without a third party. In return, liquidity providers receive rewards from trading fees, liquidation costs, and leverage trading.

Thanks to the leverage model, users can trade with up to 50x leverage. This means you can open a much larger position with a relatively small amount of capital.

Example: Suppose you have 100 GMX as collateral and use 50x leverage. This means you open a position worth 5,000 GMX. If the price increases by 1%, the value of your position will increase by 1% of 5,000 GMX = 50 GMX profit. This is 50% of your original investment (100 GMX). If the price drops by 1%, the value of your position decreases by 1% of 5,000 GMX = 50 GMX loss.

Since you had 100 GMX as collateral, a 2% drop would mean your entire investment is lost, and your position will be liquidated.

When you open a position with leverage, you borrow tokens from the GLP pool, for which you pay interest. This interest is distributed among the liquidity providers in the pool. These are perpetual contracts, a form of derivatives trading where positions can remain open without a fixed expiration date.

Other features of the network include the ability to set stop-loss and take-profit orders on the GMX platform, allowing users to automatically close open positions when certain conditions are met.

Who founded GMX?

GMX was launched in 2021 by an anonymous developer. The platform emerged from the earlier project Gambit, which focused on decentralized trading. After DeFi experienced strong growth, there was increased demand for more efficient derivatives trading. The anonymous developer thus designed GMX to offer a scalable and cost-efficient derivatives trading platform.

GMX Ecosystem

The GMX ecosystem consists of several components that work together to enable the platform to function:

  • GMX-token (GMX): The GMX-token is the native token of the platform and serves both a utility and governance function. Holders can support the platform by staking their tokens or providing them to liquidity pools, thus gaining voting rights on future updates.
  • GLP-token (GLP): The GLP-token enables multi-asset liquidity pools and is used as a liquidity provider. Liquidity providers can earn trading fees by locking GLP tokens in GLP pools.
  • Arbitrum & Avalanche Integration: GMX operates on these two networks, allowing users to trade with low fees and fast transactions.
