1) TLDR, Whats @GMX_IO & $GLP 2) GLP farming, when is it bad for you as a farmer 3) Leverage GLP farming 4) Delta Neutral GLP strategy 5) Why is it hard to delta neutral perfectly, Cost 6) Summary
GMX is a perpetual dex that allows you to leverage trade & swap. Its liquidity pool model is backed by $GLP.
GLP is a pool of tokens that liquidity providers pool together, earning fees from GMX & taking the PnL of traders.
It is marketed as an index token that farms because essentially you will be holding a basket of tokens and earning fees from GMX.
Its weighting of each token within GLP is constantly rebalancing.
GLP farming
As a GLP holder you are holding a basket of tokens and earn fees + betting traders will lose.
Here's 4 cases that bad for GLP farmer
1. Traders positive PnL over all people 2. Low trading volume on GMX
3. When #BTC, #ETH price goes up aggressively
because GLP as an index token that will rebalance.
You are constantly selling the upside of your tokens
E.g. GLP keeps itβs $ETH weighting at 25%(usd value), as $ETH price goes up, it will have to rebalance and it will sell some $ETH, making the number of $ETH less but the weighting of ETH in USD stays at 25%
4. When $BTC, $ETH price goes down
Same with the logic in case three but downwards, meaning GLP are basically constantly DCA into more tokens less USD
By entering GLP you are essentially betting on
GMX fee sharing + trader PnL > holding on ETH, BTC & USD.
The most ideal case for you as a farmer is sideways market will high trading volume of losing traders
To delta neutral GLP essentially what you have to do is to short everything within the GLP basket
$GLP βs weighting is constantly changing. It changes based on
1) Position on GMX ( as all GMX perp position are backed by GLP)
Weight is the asset availability and its changes base on traderβs open & close positions
2) Also Swaps on GMX
The key difficulty of doing perfect delta neutral is whenever the weight in GLP changes to keep a perfect hedge you need to rebalance your short position, but obviously there are cost everytime you rebalance.
If you donβt rebalance regularly enough your hedge will drifts, e.g. you are shorting too much or end up having more delta exposure.
The key to a successful DN strategy is choosing the right parameters on when to rebalance, time, weight change or more.
Summary
GMX is one of my favourite protocols. itβs model allows users to safest perpetual long or short on dex, however limited pairs but its still an innovation.
I was enjoying farming on GLP for a while but slowly moved out as I was hoping for a small rebound in ETH & BTC.
Secondly, I was worried as everyone is talking about farming GLP but not trading on GMX, is there enough fees for everyone?
While on the topic of @GMX_IO

I have been exploring different OG BTC L2 in search for a team that is
πΉ Not just quickly raise for a quick raise
πΉ Continue to build and been growing
@Coredao_Org showed 3x growth in TVL, UAW and volume hence im digging deeper to find opportunities there
πQuick Overview
This protocol needs no introduction, u been living under a rock if u need one lol
TVL rank steadily climbed to top 5, token price did multiples and despite being open source, there is no clear competing forks
πV3 Growth Catalyst
Cofounder @tn_pendle noted on "The Edge" podcast the V2 AMM's bottleneck in handling larger size trades, which can cause material slippage
While this is a key limitation, it hasn't stopped power users like Justin S to deploy millions on Pendle

πΉ MM as Proprietary capital
and Bagdanoff that just target and hurts wojak ( joke )
This thread will mainly foucs on MM service provider

Is Runes the new wife-changing money tool or just memes?
Understand everything about Runes here π§΅
> difference between BRC & RUNE
> What is Runes and opportunity
> Tools to trade Runes
> Catalyst to trade Runes
πWhy should you care?
BRC and ordinal made made a lot of people life-changing money.
Even I made 24k+ from 1k randomly by casually buying a btc puppet as experiment
and the creator of ordinal launched Rune protocol yesterday.
u can understand it as "better' verison of ordinal
πWhy do u need to pay attention to Runes?
because everyone that made money from BRC20 or missed BRC20 will ape rush into Runes.

π What is Mode network & how much are the airdrop worth?
Mode is a ETH L2 focusing on hyper growth such as rewarding developers by allowing dev to share fees that run through their contracts.
But u are here to figure out how much u can farm π€ͺ so...
Mode airdrop is giving out 5.5% of their total supply to total points
550,000,000 $MODE
What i like about them is they are clear about how much points are circulating, not projects trying to farm us.
AI is early & speculative
The "Team" is the key factor in picking a winner
@ankr a proven high quality blockchain infra builder is launching a DePIN & AI chain @Neura_io
*and they are not launching any new bullshxt token but adding value to their current $ankr
It's no secret most crypto AI tokens are vapourware + quick narrative but @ankr is different
They are a proven infr expert that have been around since 2019 and they are not launching any new token, new fundraise for their new AI Depin Chain but routing all value to $ANKR
πTLDR
Neura is @ankr 's new product
It is a EVM compactible chain specialised in AI & cloud computing.
It provides decentalised GPU, storage and introducing IMOs ( initial Model Offerings ) for builders
The chain is built on Cosmos SDK ( IBC compatible )
