🆕 GMX DAO proposes $110K/month swap from GMX Solana into GT for 12 months to fund audits, infra and marketing; risks include ~16–18% revenue hit and potential price support
A proposal asks the GMX DAO to execute a monthly treasury swap of $110,000 into GT from GMX Solana for 12 months (GMX Solana launched on 12 March 2025) to fund audits, infrastructure, development, and marketing, with GT pricing still being finalized and the community leaning toward the 30‑day average GT redemption price. Benefits: provides stable, transparent funding and aligns incentives while expanding GMX into Solana; costs/risks: ~16–18% of recent monthly DAO revenue, potential to overpay or artificially support GT price, and concerns about committing for a full year—current vote shows a majority approving (122 voters, 980,458.35 votes: Approve 716,353.99; Reject 264,104.36).
