New Asset Listings: ORDI, SATS, STX, ZRO

Summary

Below, we provide initial recommendations for launch parameters for ORDI, SATS, STX, and ZRO on GMX V2, following our New Assets Listing Framework. We do not recommend the listing of SATS at this time due to its very low liquidity in both spot and futures markets, in addition to its very high volatility. However, if SATS is listed, we also provide recommended parameters.

Based on market cap and trading volume, we recommend setting parameters similar to those of mid-cap assets, adjusting for the specific risks associated with low liquidity and high volatility.

We suggest different Reserve Factors and Open Interest Reserve Factors for backed and synthetic markets and more conservative swap parameters for backed markets.

Asset Breakdown

Asset Recommend Listing Asset Class Market Cap Volume Slippage [bps] Liquidity Depth [$]
ORDI Y Mid Cap $1,082,435,879 $231,072,785 2 300k
SATS N Mid Cap $754,989,906 $49,951,343 75 150k
STX Y Mid Cap $3,375,710,754 $104,322,335 13 400k
ZRO Y Mid Cap $554,044,569 $335,602,001 30 150k
  • Market Cap - average 180 days market cap
  • Volume - average 180 days volume
  • Slippage - The 99th percentile of slippage on Binance XXXX-USDT perp at 100K
  • Liquidity Depth - the 10th percentile of order book depth at 1% from the middle price on leading CEX over the last two months

Below, we present the daily price change for each of the assets, alongside statistics derived from it:

ORDI:

SATS:

STX:

ZRO:


Note: ZRO was listed very recently and there is limited data available

As observed, these assets are highly volatile. Therefore, we recommend a maximum leverage of 100x, a minimum collateral factor of 0.01, and suitable minCollateralFactorOILong and minCollateralFactorOIShort values.

All these assets have very low liquidity on leading CEXs, as shown above by looking at their P10 of liquidity. We will, therefore, limit them to OI caps at conservative initial values of $500k. As these markets grow, we can potentially increase the OI caps while continuing to consider their low liquidity.

Thank you very much ChaosLabs for your objective analysis and suggestions. For SATS, we can also put it to a vote and let the DAO decide whether to add its market.

Awesome work Chaos Labs! Excited to see new listings being proposed more regularly.

Could you expand on the risks of listing a high volatility, low liquidity asset such as SATS? High volatility is generally good for revenue. Are your concerns focused on the potential for poor user experience (slippage, rapid liquidations, etc.) or do you foresee an increased risk to the protocol and/or LPs (beyond price exposure?)
