@GMX_Technical_Announcements

GMX announces the introduction of two new trading pairs: INJ/USD (Injective) and DYDX/USD. Users can now go Long or Short the INJ and dYdX tokens with leverage, while enjoying the GMX experience of transparently fair pricing, self-custody, and split-second onchain execution.

The launch of these perpetual swaps is part of GMX’s ongoing effort to expand its market offerings. More than 60 assets are currently available for trading, and the GMX Listing Committee introduces additional markets weekly based on community feedback and popular demand.

The DYDX and INJ markets are synthetic perpetual swaps, supported by GM liquidity pools that contain BTC-USDC. These BTC-USDC pools have been included in GLV [BTC-USDC], facilitating dynamic liquidity management.

Read the full announcement on the GMX News blog:

✅ https://gmxio.substack.com/p/gmx-introduces-dydx-and-inj-perpetual

The max funding rates on GMX have been updated to be automatically adjusted based on the funding rates on other exchanges

The logic for the max funding rate is:

- Based on the median of reference exchanges, calculate the target max funding rate
- Adjust the max funding rate towards this target max funding rate
- The rate of change of the max funding rate is capped to the higher of [10%, 10% of current max rate] per hour

For example, if the current max funding rate is 10% and target max funding rate is 30%, then the max funding rate will be increased by higher of [10%, 1%] = 10% to 20% after an hour

If the current max funding rate is 130% and target max funding rate is 150%, then the max funding rate will be increased by higher of [10%, 13%] = 13% to 143% after an hour

Note that this is the logic for the "Max Funding Rate", the actual funding rate would still be based on the adaptive funding logic: https://docs.gmx.io/docs/trading/v2/#adaptive-funding.

GMX launches a new perpetual swap market on Arbitrum:

🔸 INJ/USD (Injective)

Trade the INJ token on #GMX with up to 50x leverage and fast onchain execution, directly from your self-custody wallet!

GMX is excited to introduce a new perpetual swap market on
Arbitrum:

🔸 DYDX/USD

Go Long or Short the dYdX token, and benefit from GMX's self-custody, fair pricing, and split-second onchain execution.

———

The DYDX market is a synthetic perpetual future, backed by a [BTC-USDC] liquidity pool.

This GM pool has also been added to GLV [BTC-USDC], one of the GMX Liquidity Vaults. GLV auto-optimises liquidity by allocating it to its underlying GM pools based on their utilisation.

This unique mechanism enables $GLV to effectively support dozens of synthetic markets. It simultaneously optimises capital efficiency for GLV liquidity providers.

Trade the new markets on #Arbitrum, or mint GLV to earn from the top-performing pools on GMX automatically.

The max funding rate on GMX will be updated to be automatically adjusted based on the funding rates on other exchanges

Previously logic was enabled that would decrease the funding rate if long / short open interest was balanced within a 2% difference, with the introduction of the automatic updates to the max funding rate, this logic will be disabled

These updates will take place on 26 Dec 2024

🫐 Avalanche Boosted

Network fees on Avalanche are significantly lower following the Avalanche9000 upgrade!

Trade on Avalanche and benefit from up to ~75% trading fee discount, or provide GM liquidity to receive a big yield boost in AVAX.

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.

Price Impact on GMX now much lower, due to dynamic Edge Risk Oracles from Chaos Labs

GMX has successfully integrated Edge Risk Oracles from Chaos Labs to dynamically manage price impact in its Arbitrum markets. This advancement in on-chain risk management enables real-time, contextual adjustments to market parameters. As a result, price impact has been significantly reduced on nearly all markets, and traders now enjoy more competitive pricing.

Important Reminder ❗️

There are many scammers claiming to be 'GMX Support' who will often contact you in private when you ask for support in the main GMX Telegram channel.

Be vigilant: real GMX Admins, Mods and Support contributors will never DM you first. Always double-check the @ of the person you are interacting with. Ensure it matches the username of that person in the GMX_IO channel.

And there are fake groups on Telegram that imitate @GMX_IO, complete with fake Mods and Admins with the same names as the real Mods in the GMX channel.

Please be careful, and double-check that you're in the real GMX channel:

🔹 https://t.center/GMX_IO

———————

The only other legit GMX community channels are:

🔹 GMX Announcements > https://t.center/GMX_Announcements

🔹 GMX Unofficial Trading Chat > https://t.center/gambittradingchat

🔹 GMX-Solana > https://t.center/GMX_SOLANA

🔹 GMX Chinese > https://t.center/gmxch

🔹 GMX Brasil > https://t.center/GMX_Portuguese


———————

No one in the real GMX channel will request you to:

- connect your wallet to any website
- scan any QR code
- interact with any Telegram bot
- delegate your GMX tokens on any website (other than DAO Governance platform Tally.xyz)
- migrate your GMX tokens in any way
- or do something to receive a GMX airdrop

Those are all tricks that scammers use to steal your tokens from you.

Please remain vigilant, and block and report any imitators!

———————

Note: to prevent being added to fake channels, update your Telegram settings now:

Go to -> Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Groups & Channels -> and then set 'who can add me to groups & channels' to Nobody.

Thank you 🙏
