Average of $20M in daily trading volume

The best use of Polygon blockchain

gTrade is a rapid, liquidity-efficient decentralized platform making the best use of the Polygon blockchain, a framework and protocol for developing and connecting Ethereum-compatible (ETH/USD) blockchain networks and an ecosystem of DeFi apps with higher speeds and lower transaction costs than Ethereum.

Advantages of gTrade

The platform offers leverage on median spot prices, zero funding fees, and zero price impact through the minting and burning of its native GNS token. It provides access to 43 cryptocurrencies and 10 major Forex pairs with leverage of up to 1000x.

Gains’ ambitious roadmap involves $500,000 in funding from Polygon DeFi to achieve $10 million in GNS/DAI LPs, $100 million in daily trading volume for at least 10 days, $5 million staked in the DAI vault, and $50,000 max. per trade collateral.

Sébastien, the founder of Gains Network, commented:

It is a great pleasure for us to work with Polygon for this trading incentives program. Gains Network’s mission with gTrade has always been to give an innovative, decentralized, and fair solution to leveraged trading. It is now time for the world to realize that Polygon is THE blockchain to trade with leverage!
