Overview
Hi all, we’re Chaos Labs, a leading cloud-based risk management platform specializing in optimization and economic security tools for DeFi protocols. We collaborate with protocols such as Aave, Osmosis, Benqi, Uniswap, Chainlink, and more, to provide robust risk management products and services.
Over the past few months, we have been working with GMX core contributors, users, integrated protocols, and DAO members to develop an advanced platform dedicated to addressing margin at risk, real-time user metrics, alerting, and simulations that evaluate the value at risk (VaR) across volatile markets. Today, we are proud to unveil Version 0 of the GMX GLP Public Risk Hub.
Below, we will detail platform features. This is V0 of the product, and we’d love any feedback, and/or feature requests from the community to integrate into future iterations 
Goals
The primary aim of the GMX GLP Risk Hub is to facilitate informed decision-making for users and DAO members regarding their personal and protocol-wide positions. By offering insights into the size and balance of long and short open interest in each market, this application ensures users can navigate turbulent markets with confidence. We present an overview of the application’s functionality by examining each tab in detail.
Methodology
The GMX platform is currently deployed across two distinct blockchains: Arbitrum and Avalanche. In an effort to provide a scalable, future-proof solution, we have developed an additional data layer atop GMX subgraphs. Our infrastructure persistently queries archive nodes and subgraphs, consolidating the information into a singular database and generating aggregated data collections. These collections are indexed to enable rapid querying, reduced latency, and an efficient user experience.
Platform Deep Dive
Overview
This page presents information on a per-deployment basis. The network selector at the top of the interface allows users to alternate between data and metrics for the Arbitrum and Avalanche deployments. The metrics available on this page comprise key indicators such as the total GLP pool size, 24-hour fees and volume, and total open interest. Furthermore, the page furnishes users access to time series data that displays the GLP pool value, composition, short and long open interest, and daily fees in graphical format.

Risk Explorer
The risk explorer feature empowers users to conduct simulations on one or multiple assets, simulating price drops and gauging the impact on their positions. This functionality is particularly useful in comprehending the risk exposure of a position in light of market volatility. We will provide further information on this feature, including more simulation details.
