Can you read and write code: Yes. I have personally worked with the GMX codebase in the past.
Relevant Experience: Please share any links and supporting information.
I am a software engineer by profession. I’ve been in the crypto space since 2017. I began doing smart contract (solidity) programming in the same year with a focus on Ethereum. I published several dapps in the process. I got involved with GMX in around 2021. I developed a react-native dashboard (python backend) for GMX users that allows them to track their rewards and yields from staking GMX and GLP. This dashboard was well received and led me to develop many more software platforms for GMX. For example I developed GMX Referrals as a dashboard for GMX affiliates to track rewards and see leaderboards. I also worked with the GMX NFT project blueberry club to develop a esGMX tracker for holders of those NFT. I also have published several technical documents in regard to GMX on my twitter account. I’ve been a firm believer of the project since its early days.
Familiarity with Perp listings: How well do you know the listing process of perps in general?
I am familiar with the general process and have been following GMXs current strategy in this regard closely. Id obviously need to do a deep dive if and once elected.
Suggestions for the GMX Listing Committee: Do you have any ideas or suggestions for how the GMX Listing Committee can maximise its impact?
Sure. Off the top of my head I think the selection process of perps is probably the most important initiating aspect. I assume both market sentiment and community input is vital in this regard. Once a perp is launched, GMX must constantly monitor liquidity in the spot market to make sure spillage is under control. This is particularly important for perps because the high leverage offered to GMX traders can increase the volatility of the perps market. I’m personally a big fan of documentation (as X can attest too hehe). So I think GMX should be doing a more comprehensive pre-launch education for it’s traders. Perps can be complicated even for the most experienced trader. From a security point of view I approach the problem from a software engineering stance. We obviously want to be doing extensive code reviews including checking for vulnerabilities such as reentrancy attacks and unauthorized access. Fortunately GMX already has a great system in place for this. I would say that my familiarity with the GMX codebase gives me a vantage point in this regard.
