:droplet: Liquidity Incentives

GMX V2 works with a range of highly liquid pools that facilitate all perpetual and spot trading activity. These GM pools are yield-generating, capital-efficient and composable with other protocols: they form a robust DeFi base layer for the Avalanche ecosystem.

Details of the liquidity incentives:

  • The existing dual-asset AVAX, BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, SOL, and LTC pools of GMX V2 on Avalanche are eligible for liquidity incentives. These incentives boost the native rewards based on pool fees.
  • Coinciding with the GMX Summer Rush program, GMX is launching new single-asset GM pools on Avalanche (similar to those recently launched on Arbitrum). These single-sided liquidity pools have just one token backing the market on both the Long and Short sides. There is no stablecoin component to these liquidity pools.
  • These newly launched single-asset GM pools for BTC, ETH and AVAX also receive liquidity incentives, to help bootstrap healthy markets quickly.
  • Please note: all Boost incentives from the Avalanche campaign will be paid out as gmAVAX+ tokens. These gmAVAX+ tokens are regular AVAX tokens actively providing liquidity to the single-asset AVAX/USD [WAVAX] pool on GMX. (You can find this AVAX/USD [WAVAX] pool in the list of GM pools in the GMX dApp.)
  • Incentives for GM liquidity providers are allocated based on weekly epochs, which start on Wednesday at 00:00 UTC. Every epoch, a set number of rewards will be allocated per GM pool.
  • A time-weighted average of users’ GM balance is taken for the whole week to calculate proportional rewards.
  • Rewards will be airdropped directly to GM holders’ wallets after each weekly epoch. Please note that there is a threshold of 0.1 AVAX to qualify for the airdrop.
  • The APY and other information shown on the Earn/Pools page are rough estimates; actual rewards depend on the final calculations at the end of each epoch.
  • The amount of rewards for each epoch and the conditions for distribution under this program may be amended from time to time, to ensure they meet the campaign goals in the most cost-effective way.

:chart_with_upwards_trend: Trading Incentives

  • The GMX Summer Boost fee rebates can cover almost the total cost of GMX’s base trading fees, especially when combined with a GMX referral-code fee discount (though never cover more than that).
  • Trading incentives will be paid out as gmAVAX+ tokens, against all qualifying trades during the weekly epoch.
  • The trading fee rebate will be airdropped pro-rata at the end of each epoch. Please note that there is a threshold of 0.1 AVAX to qualify for the rebate airdrop.
  • Trading fee rebates will be capped during the epochs, to balance supply and demand. If the rewards cap for the epoch has been reached, the actual rebate could end up being less than the maximum rebate percentage of 75%.
  • In the 5th week of trading incentives, we distributed approximately 26,971.29 GM AVAX+ Tokens AVAX to 291 traders.
  • In the 6th week of trading incentives, we distributed approximately 16,914.72 GM AVAX+ to 133 traders
  • In weeks 5th and 6th, week we distributed 43,886.01 GM AVAX to 424 traders.

Funds are also being reserved for ecosystem grants and trading competitions on Avalanche.
