GMX is excited to present the Development Plan for the first months of 2025:

🔹 Multichain: trade on GMX from anywhere
🔹 Gasless Transactions
🔹 Cross-collateral Support
🔹 Network Fee Subsidies
🔹 Lower Price Impact
🔹 Scaling Liquidity via Net Open Interest

And what comes after…

With GMX v2.2, the focus is on further enhancing stability, lowering costs for users, and enabling multichain access.

These plans reflect GMX’s commitment to creating an accessible, high-performance, user-friendly platform powered by public blockchains and decentralised technology.

Today, the GMX DEX is trusted by thousands of users every day, facilitating billions of dollars in weekly trading volume. The protocol serves as a foundational liquidity layer for the #DeFi infrastructure on @Arbitrum and @Avax.

In the near future, this trading and liquidity infrastructure will expand to include @Solana (via @GMX_SOL) and will be accessible from any supported EVM blockchain...

This will further solidify GMX’s role as a base layer for an interconnected decentralised finance ecosystem.

GMX and the TON Foundation are collaborating, to push the boundaries of DeFi on decentralised, public blockchains:

As part of this initiative, the TON Foundation and GMX are launching a developer competition. We invite participants to design a cutting-edge Perpetual DEX on the $TON Blockchain, which achieves two key goals:

🔹 Drive innovation in high-frequency trading
🔹 Drive innovation in transaction fee optimisation

Through this collaboration, the TON Foundation seeks to leverage GMX’s extensive Perp DEX expertise, including on efficient, low-slippage trading and competitive fee structures.

GMX's focus is on supporting the evolution of trading on public blockchains, and the potential opportunities this creates for the GMX DAO.

Developers, founders, and projects within the TON ecosystem are encouraged to apply for the competition, which offers a chance to win GMX advisory services and TON Foundation support.

GMX is introducing a 25% reduction of Open & Close fees on select markets:

On 4 December 2024, the SOL/USD, DOGE/USD, and LINK/USD markets will be the first markets to trial updated parameters, aimed at making trading more affordable and secure.

The Open and Close fees for all trades on these markets will be reduced to a flat 4.5 basis points, from the current rates of 7 bps / 5 bps.

Additionally, the newly activated liquidation fees (initial parameter: 20 basis points) will be implemented for these markets at the same time.

These updates aim to lower costs for all traders, support larger markets, and create a safer and more sustainable mechanism for liquidity providers absorbing liquidations.

Feedback and monitoring of these updates will be evaluated over several weeks, before considering application to additional markets.
