๐ฃ Excited to announce an integration and vault collaboration with @GMX_IO.
Factor = the infrastructure and liquidity layer for on-chain asset management!
GMX = a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange supported by a multi asset LP that earns platform fees.
Details ๐
/1
๐ GMX is a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange that supports low swap fees and zero price impact trades.
Trading is supported by a unique multi-asset LP that earns a share of trading fees.
They have blazed a trail for DeFi innovation and real yield on Arbitrum
/2
๐ญ Factor offers the building blocks for modular asset management vaults.
We integrate multiple DeFi assets to enable these protocols to optimize their products.
We enable vault creators to utilize these products to create innovative strategies.
The mutual benefits?
/3
๐ Firstly, integrations:
* Enables Factor strategists to utilize $GLP in strategies
* In due course enables use of GMX perps in strategy creation
* This creates new strategy options on Factor
* And new use cases for GMX products
* TVL and revenue to both Factor and GMX
/4
๐ฆ Secondly, partner vaults:
* One click access to unique $GLP vaults
* Ability to add $GLP to DEX perps indices
* Potential for GMX v2 and NFT integrations ๐
* Drives additional TVL to GMX via the partner vaults
* Factor and GMX earn vault fees as a revenue stream
/5
๐ค We will begin by integrating $GLP and developing innovative $GLP strategies under the supervision of GMX.
We will then work closely with the GMX contributors over the long term to create new vaults featuring additional products/use cases that GMX will be rolling out.
/6
๐งโ๐คโ๐ง We're integrating with leading protocols to build the infrastructure and liquidity layer for DeFi.
GMX has led innovation and kicked off big interest in Arbitrum DeFi and we are delighted to be working with them.
We're looking forward to growing DeFi together.

๐๏ธ We will be hosting GMX on #TheKeyFactor on Thursday, 30 March at 17:00 UTC.
If you'd like to learn more about both projects and how we will work together, then make sure to tune in.

๐งโ๐ซ Learn more about @FactorDAO and $FCTR using the links below:
๐ฃ๏ธ We listened to community feedback! 2 important announcements:
1. POL increase, deploying 50% of funds raised 2. Ecosystem incentives now vested for 12 months
This brings initial circulating supply down to 18% with the majority in the hands of public sale participants.
/1
The purpose of this is to reduce the circulating supply at launch and put power in the hands of public sale participants.
Aside from a small treasury and ecosystem incentives allocation there all tokens will either be in POL (launch LP) or owned by public sale participants.
/2
The small treasury and ecosystem incentives initially unlocked will not be deployed immediately.
They will be deployed carefully to drive TVL and adoption, and could also be subject to further vesting criteria depending on their usage.

๐ฃ Excited to announce a groundbreaking three-way partnership with @lyrafinance and @official_CVI.
This partnership showcases the power of Factor as DeFi middleware, combining Lyra and CVI assets to seamlessly create unique and innovative vault strategies.
โป๏ธ Lyra is a crypto options trading protocol with over $1B in trading volume.
CVI is a crypto volatility index (a VIX for crypto) that enables users to mint their token to long volatility, or provide LP to hedge short volatility.
๐ญ Factor offers the building blocks for modular asset management.
We will take a Lyra and CVI options and volatility hedging strategy and seamlessly deploy it as a Factor vault.
This creates new use cases for Lyra and CVI and drives TVL and revenue for all three protocols.
