In this thread, we'll cover 5 project categoriesπ
1/ Vaults, the biggest category with most projects. 2/ Lending, enabling degens to borrow against their GLP holdings and add leverage to their yield farming.
3/ Options 4/ Social Trading 5/ Others
1.1/ @MIM_Spell
Abracadabra is the largest auto-compounding GLP farm with a TVL of $15.47 million. With magicGLP, the ETH yield generated is automatically reinvested into magicGLP, which maximizes returns. The value of magicGLP will increase over time due to the auto-compound.
1.2/ @PlutusDAO_io
The 2nd largest with a TVL of $7.86 million, where users deposit GLP for plvGLP.
plvGLP holders receive 15% of PLS liquidity mining emissions. The emissions are weighted towards the early months, meaning the first few months will have the highest emissions.
1.3/ TVL and Fee Structure of 6 Auto-Compounding Protocols
1.4/ @rage_trade
Its popular Risk-On Vault invests $USDC deposited by users into GLP while building short positions in $ETH and $BTC via flash loans. So it hedges your long exposure when you hold GLP.
The combined TVL of Rage is $11.13m.
1.5/ @Neutrafinance
It tackles the delta-neutral problem via a different route. By hedging the long exposure by GLP via opening leveraged short positions on GMX itself. It maintains delta neutrality through a unique rebalancing mechanism with a TVL of $1.16m.
1.6/ @UmamiFinance
Similar to Neutra, Umami's delta-neutral strategy also involves hedging on GMX. It also implements an internal netting strategy, which reallocates Delta among vaults to minimize hedging costs. Hedges are algorithmically rebalanced at regular intervals.
1.7/
The GMX War has already begun as players fight each other for GLP shares. While the basic auto-compounding function is already attractive, further innovations could boost GLP yields even more.
2.2/
As well as @DeltaPrimeDefi, @YetiFinance, and @Moremoneyfi on @avalancheavax. All of them allow users to borrow against their GLP. Sentiment also enables using GMX as collateral, while Rodeo has its own auto-compounding GLP vault.
3.1/ @lyrafinance
A DEX for options. It aims to keep the exposure of liquidity providers close to delta-neutral, which is achieved via either opening a long or short perpetual futures position through GMX or spot synth position through Synthetix.
3.2/ @dopex_io
Dopex integrates GMX in 2 ways.
The Atlantic Perp Protection allows perp traders to shield themselves against liquidation risks.
Dopex also helps with GLP farming, where their Atlantic Put acts as a hedge against GLP price action.
4.1/ @STFX_IO
STFX stands for Single Trade Finance Exchange. It offers short-duration, non-custodial, active asset management vaults that are dedicated to one trade. STFX traders use GMX to route their trades. The platform charges a fixed performance fee of 20%.
4.2/ @PerpyFinance
It's similar to STFX in concept but differs in set up. According to Perpy, the main difference is that Perpy Vaults are continuous, charge variable fees, have no fundraising period, and protect privacy.
5/ @dappOS_com
An operating protocol designed to lower the barrier of interacting with crypto infrastructures. In particular, DappsOS allows users to access GMX via BSC wallets directly.
6/ @demexchange
Demex bridges GLP to Cosmos via smart contract vaults and offers an auto-compounding service, allowing Cosmos users to access GMX and earn yield from GLP.

1/ π΅πππ π«πππ π«ππππ @blur_io launched its long-awaited $BLUR airdrop and aim to establish decentralized governance for the Blur marketplace and to compete with rivals like OpenSea. This airdrop is the largest one in the NFT ecosystem since early last year.
1.1/

The collapse of Terra's UST has impacted the decentralized stablecoin ecosystem, but $DAI, $FRAX, $LUSD, and sUSD have survived the volatile period. Newer upcoming Aave's $GHO and Curve's crvUSD have introduced innovation in the space.
1.1/
$DAI is the most established and widely used decentralized stablecoin. $DAI has shifted its focus to generating revenue from RWAs (real-world assets).
In this π§΅πwe will walk you through:
how an imbalance between longs/shorts in a bull market will reduce GLP returns, decrease GLP AUM and liquidity, and trigger a death spiral. #CryptoResearch
2/
In a bull market, GMX shorts not only do not receive funding fees but also have to pay borrowing fees.
As a result, GMX will be 95%+ long in a bull, as evidenced by OI between 2021-9-1 and 2021-11-10.
3/ GLP was losing money to traders during that period as well.
