GMX Announcements

GMX v2.2c Deployment Update The v2.2b contracts will be disabled on 17 August 2026. After that time they will no longer be available for use, and v2.2c becomes the only supported contract version on Arbitrum, Avalanche, and MegaETH. Integrators and anyone still calling v2.2b directly should complete the switch before the deprecation date. This is the final deprecation date referenced in the v2.2c launch announcement. The latest deployment addresses are available on GitHub: > https://github.com/gmx-io/gmx-synthetics/tree/updates/docs Anyone who needs clarification on the contract changes can reach out to a GMX contributor.

< GMX Update > ____ 🫐 Product & Development:   • v2.2c Contracts Live GMX v2.2c contracts are now deployed on Arbitrum, Avalanche, and MegaETH. Learn more: https://t.me/GMX_Technical_Announcements/92 • Passkey Login You can now create and sign in to a GMX wallet with a passkey: Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or Android biometrics. No email or social account needed. • Wallet Funding The wallet Receive flow now offers full funding options: receive to your address via QR and copy, buy with a card (Apple Pay and Google Pay where supported), or transfer in from another wallet, exchange, or chain. • Performance Sharing The PnL chart in the Account Dashboard now has a share action that generates a performance card with your PnL percentage, win rate, trade count, and cumulative PnL curve for the selected period. The card includes your referral QR code, and PnL amounts can be hidden before sharing. • Decrease Position Flows Receiving profit and collateral separately — skipping the internal swap and its swap profit fee — is now available for TWAP close and TP/SL orders, and TP/SL orders attached at open now default to separate receive when the profit and collateral tokens differ. • Chart Upgrades The chart now remembers your drawings, drawing tool settings, and favorite tools toolbar across sessions and refreshes. • Leaderboard Top Positions can now be filtered by market and side (Long or Short), with filters applying across the full result set while preserving each position's global rank. PnL, percentages, sorting, ranks, and tooltips now include realized swap fees, swap impact, and positive funding fees, using the same unrealized PnL calculation as the Account Dashboard. • Referrals The affiliate dashboard now splits referred traders into Gained, Graduated, and Lost. Tooltips explain that graduated traders keep their fee discount but no longer generate affiliate rewards. • Earn The GMX asset card now shows an estimated APR personalized to your wallet, next to your accumulated rewards. • Live Support The Support item in the menu now shows your unread message count, so replies from the support team are harder to miss. ____ 🫐 Community & Ecosystem: • Introducing the GMX Balancer Program GMX is offering traders that keep our markets balanced a higher reward than the standard referral program, paid straight to your wallet.

GMX v2.2c Contracts Are Now Live GMX v2.2c contracts are now deployed on Arbitrum, Avalanche, and MegaETH. This release strengthens protocol safeguards and risk controls, while adding new capabilities for wallets, order execution, and integrations. The contracts are live. The interface and supporting integration rollout is being completed in stages. We encourage GMX integrators to review the changes and switch over to the new contracts. ## Highlights - Stronger protocol safeguards: expanded invariant checks, improved role-management protections, and rate-limited token transfers from protocol vaults. - More resilient action handling: keepers can cancel expired requests, reducing the risk of orders or liquidity actions remaining stuck. - Native TWAP support: contracts can create TWAP orders directly, with relay support for Express-compatible execution. - Smart-wallet foundations: contract-level signature validation now supports smart contract wallets, including deployed and counterfactual accounts. Interface support for multichain, Express, and One-Click flows is rolling out separately. - Improved oracle and risk controls: a constant-value oracle provider, separate long/short funding bounds, a minimum funding-adjustment rate, and additional collateral and pricing safeguards. - More consistent integration data: UI fee factors are snapshotted when actions are created, with corresponding Reader, event, schema, and error updates. ## For integrators Integrators should: - update contract addresses and ABIs for v2.2c - review simulation calls moved from ExchangeRouter to SimulationRouter - update decoding for affected order and liquidity-action structs and events - account for the new funding, oracle-validation, collateral-cap, and custom-error behavior v2.2b contracts remain available during the transition period. The final deprecation date for those will be announced separately. You can find the latest deployment addresses on Github: https://github.com/gmx-io/gmx-synthetics/tree/updates/docs If you need clarification on any of the contract changes, please reach out to a GMX contributor.

Introducing the GMX Balancer Program Balanced markets don't happen by accident. On every major GMX market, there are traders who consistently take the underweight side of the Open Interest. They provide the balancing flow that keeps the pools tight. By doing so, they earn the positive price impact and funding that come with trading toward balance. It's an important service: leading to tighter pricing and more predictable execution for everyone on the platform. Today we're launching the Balancer Program to provide additional rewards to the traders who do this — the active balancers — directly. What you get: A dedicated referral code that pays a higher direct reward than the standard referral program, straight to your own wallet. Designed specifically for balancers: added value, in recognition of the role you play. Who it's for: If you consistently trade to balance the pools — taking the underweighted side and earning positive price impact and funding — this program is for you. Eligibility is based on consistent, meaningful balancing activity, reviewed on an ongoing basis. How to apply: Reach out through @GMXPartners on Telegram. We'll confirm you qualify and help you get set up.

GMX is updating its referral program on Arbitrum. Three changes are being introduced: 1.) Referral reward step-down. Affiliate rewards on a given trader step down to 0% after either 12 months or $20,000 in paid affiliate rewards on Arbitrum. When this threshold is reached, the referral code set by the trader is automatically replaced by a protocol-assigned discount code that preserves their existing fee discount. The trader's discount is therefore unaffected. This mechanism applies per trader, and takes effect retroactively. 2.) Organic VIP Tiers. Traders reaching $50M in lifetime volume on Arbitrum now receive an automatic 5% fee discount. At $250M, that becomes 10%. No referral code application is needed; the protocol assigns it automatically. 3.) Tier 4 Referral Codes. A new tier for institutional participants, large-volume affiliates, and major GMX integrators on Arbitrum. Note: Trader discounts across all existing tiers remain in place. The update applies only to Arbitrum; the referral program on other chains is not affected.

GMX has invested in agent-optimized documentation, SDK, API, and skills, so developers can ship autonomous DeFi agents with less friction. The combination of integration surfaces opens up many use cases for developers building on GMX: - Autonomous trading agents that implement custom strategies, and execute on GMX’s deep markets - Risk management bots that monitor open positions in real-time, and adjust leverage or tighten stop-losses when risk thresholds are crossed - Portfolio rebalancing agents that use GMX perps as a hedging layer, automatically adjusting exposure - Cross-protocol agents that combine GMX with lending protocols, yield optimizers, or other DeFi primitives to run strategies - Alerting agents that monitor GMX market conditions (funding rates, open interest spikes, etc.) and surface insights...
