We briefly discuss below the advantages and disadvantages of the GMX protocol for three types of users: users of exchange assets, liquidity providers, and speculative traders. What are the advantages and disadvantages?
From the social media and the GitHub public codebase, it is clear that this anonymous team is working hard on its development. While it’s impossible to rule out the possibility that the team disbanded and the project was abandoned, their ability to deliver products and introduce new features is evident to everyone and has earned them the trust of the copyright community and other projects.
$GLP holders have exposure to all of these assets, as well as trading fees and some rewards in the form of $esGMX tokens.
Total staking value has topped $400 million and cumulative trading volume has surpassed $55 billion in the year since the GMX protocol was developed, making it the third-largest decentralized exchange on Arbitrum after Uniswap and Curve.
GMX V2 introduced substantial updates that can be considered a completely different approach, including:
While these platforms offer privacy and convenience, users must weigh these benefits against the potential security risks.
Security is a top priority for GMX. The copyright uses advanced encryption techniques to ensure that all transactions are secure and that user data is protected.
In terms of perpetual contracts, the GLP liquidity pool works interestingly, a bit like an AAVE type of lending agreement, where the trader deposits a portion of the assets in the GLP liquidity pool as margin, then lends a higher value asset from the GLP liquidity pool to bet against the GLP here liquidity pool, paying a percentage of interest every hour before the margin is liquidated or the asset is returned.
GMX users can “long” or “short” up to 30 times the size of their collateral by borrowing funds from a large liquidity pool.
Here’s an example: Suppose that you wanted to buy $BTC at USD $10,000. In order for this to happen, someone must be willing to sell their $BTC at that price on that platform. If there is no willing seller, your buy order would not go through.
This reduces the price volatility of GMX and provides a stable source of income for pledgers. Users who stake GMX tokens also receive Multiplier Points, which boost the user’s share of GLP liquidity pool proceeds by a certain percentage.
The GMX protocol meets the needs of both liquidity providers and traders through GLP liquidity pools and GLP tokens. The GLP liquidity pool is a multi-asset liquidity pool consisting of many different cryptocurrencies.
On AMM, users trade against a pool of tokens known as a liquidity pool. AMM users supply liquidity pools with copyright tokens, whose prices are determined by a constant mathematical formula.
