🍏GNS Token
The $GNS utility token powers our whole ecosystem.
GNS: The Utility Token Powering gTrade
Introduction
$GNS is the backbone of gTrade, enabling efficient liquidity management, revenue distribution, governance, and long-term sustainability. Designed with flexibility in mind, its tokenomics evolve based on community decisions and market conditions. Over time, $GNS has been net deflationary, reinforcing its role in the ecosystem.
Originally launched as $GFARM2 on Ethereum, the token underwent a fair distribution through ETH and LP pools before being migrated to Polygon with a 1:1000 split, rebranding as $GNS. It now operates across multiple chains, supporting gTrade's growth and stability.
GNS Utility and Tokenomics
Revenue Sharing & Counterparty Utility
$GNS currently plays a dual role in the gTrade ecosystem:
Revenue Sharing – Trading fees are used for Buybacks & Burns of the token from the open market (BB&B), with flexibility for direct staking rewards per community alignment.
Counterparty Utility – Acts as a balancing mechanism for vaults, ensuring liquidity efficiency and protocol stability.
How Buyback & Burn (BB&B) Works
Trading Fees (55%) – The majority of gTrade’s revenue (from open and close fees in USDC, DAI, WETH) is used to buy back $GNS from the market, reducing supply.
Dynamic % of Trader PnL – Depending on the gToken Vaults’ health, a portion of trader losses/profits are used for $GNS buybacks/mints.
BB&B creates sustained buy pressure, followed by supply reductions — benefiting all $GNS holders through organic deflation. The revenue distribution model can adapt based on governance votes, potentially reintroducing the direct staking rewards (SSS) or Buyback & Distribute (BB&D) model in the future.

GNS Tokenomics: Adaptive & Deflationary
$GNS supply mechanics balance protocol needs with long-term sustainability:
Minting & Burning – Vaults dynamically mint and burn $GNS to manage the protocol’s liquidity.
Max Supply – Capped at 100,000,000 $GNS as a failsafe mechanism (should never be reached under normal conditions).
Initial Supply – 38,500,000 $GNS at launch, with continued deflation over time.
Current Supply – Dynamic, reflecting token burns and protocol adjustments (Dune Dashboard).
