What is GMX?

GMX is a decentralized perpetuals exchange. GMX holders stake the token to earn a share of platform trading fees paid out in a separate reward asset.

How to stake GMX

  1. Go to the official GMX site or app linked on this page.
  2. Connect a wallet holding GMX and review the current staking or lock-up terms — these are set by the protocol and can change.
  3. Choose how much GMX to stake or lock, and for how long, if the protocol asks you to select a lock duration.
  4. Confirm the transaction. Rewards or voting power are typically calculated based on the amount and duration you commit.
  5. Track the unlock date if one applies, and note that early exit is often not possible once a lock period is chosen.
