Executive Summary:
After extensive testing and private audits with Shieldify, we have now successfully integrated our trading engine with GMX v2, allowing users to trade up to 13 assets (156 pairs) as tokenised/wrapped long-short trades. We now move to the next stage, which is generating trading volume and fees for GMX v2 in a novel manner, and distributing $ARB rewards as a fee rebate (75%) for those that do.
a) Roadmap Progress:
Milestone 1 of the builder grant has been achieved, and here are two recent trades:
ETH/BTC leveraged long: Arbitrum Transaction Hash (Txhash) Details | Arbiscan
ETH/SOL leveraged long: Arbitrum Transaction Hash (Txhash) Details | Arbiscan
b) Milestone/KPI Achievements: The first 2 transactions (IDs) have been successfully placed, generating fees for GMX v2, and our smart contracts are capturing data about fees paid. The smart contract for $ARB reward claims has also been implemented and tested, and we are now integrating the front-end to make it consistent with what already exists on pear.garden
c) Dune Dashboard is being updated to reflect GMX v2 volume, currently we are showing GMX v1 volume - https://dune.com/frijoles/pear-protocol
II. Current Progress:
We will showcase a demo of the platform to the grants team later this week. This is a large task given the number of contract calls and functions, but we have 2 full time devs working exclusively on this.
III. Community Engagement:
We are continuing to update our community regularly via Discord & Twitter, including hiring another Community Manager. We have agree to work with The Blueberry Club in an informal manner, giving them a unique referral code to use which is win-win for GMX, their treasury and Pear Protocol. We have also negotiated a partnership with Arbitrum native “Primeapes DAO” to trade on Pear Protocol and earn incentives, thus further promoting trading volume across the wider ecosystem.
IV. Partnerships and Collaborations:
We’ll still be working with Blockworks from 20/03/2024 to spread the word about pair trading, including both earned and paid media opportunities including a Webinar and sponsoring the 0xResearch podcast. We are attending the Digital Asset Summit in London on 18-20 March 2024 to raise awareness about Pear Protocol, and the unique trading opportunities that provides.
