GMX V2: A Guide for Traders and Liquidity Providers

Fredegar Christensen is a BD Contributor at GMX.

In this episode, we cover what's new in GMX V2 for traders and liquidity providers. Given its reputation as the top decentralized leverage perps trading platform on Arbitrum, with over $140B in trading volume since 2022, we walk through a bit of DeFi history on GMX V1. Afterwards, we walk through a detailed guide on all the improvements made in V2 including isolated GM Pools, new collateral asset support, longing/shorting markets with the same token as collateral, lower fees, and faster execution times.
