For more details on the $GNS tokenomics, refer to GNS Token
In July 2024, gTrade to reward $GNS stakers with 55% of the protocol’s revenue. This allocation is now used to buyback & burn $GNS from the open market.
The tokenomics have been designed to adapt over time, ensuring flexibility in response to both community demand and market conditions. $GNS holders may stake their tokens to earn a share of the gTrade’s revenue in case direct revenue sharing (SSS or BB&D) is turned back on. In the meantime, all $GNS holders are seeing revenue sharing through continuous buybacks & burns.
Around 60% of the open and close fees generated by the platform ($USDC, $DAI, $WETH) are used to buy back $GNS OTC using the 1 hour TWAP + a 1% premium to ensure a reliable arbitrage opportunity. Buying back $GNS with the non-GNS collaterals both creates a sustained buying pressure and a more stable price floor, as well as helps retain value within the ecosystem.
The revenue can be distributed to $GNS stakers, the governance fund, or the burn address. This allocation of revenue is flexible and is currently set to: 90% $GNS burn (60% * 0.9 = 54%), 10% governance fund (60% * 0.1 = 6%).
