FUTURE PLANS OF GMX

1️⃣Improve platform monitoring

To improve the security and reliability of the platform, they will be increasing monitoring for keeper statuses and RPC issues.

2️⃣Review and increase operational security

They will set aside some time to do a thorough review of operations, inclusive of domain name servers and site hosting configurations, to assess opportunities for additional improvements.

3️⃣Interface decentralization

To further decentralize the platform we will be looking into IPFS or similar solutions to host the https://gmx.io/ site.

4️⃣Support synthetic markets

After the improvements to basic operations the next most important task is to improve the product and user experience. GMX mentioned the model for a PvP AMM in the X4 update. This would allow to provide a greater range of trading options and enable users to take a directional position on any market while earning yield.

5️⃣X4 / new chains

X4 and new chains can be worked on after the support of synthetic markets. Both tasks have a strong potential to onboard more users and we have received positive feedback on X4 from other protocols so far.
