gTrade | Gains Network 🍏 (@GainsNetwork_io): Welcome back to another bi-weekly update!

Welcome back to another bi-weekly update! 🌍 Macro Events in Motion Geopolitical headlines. Energy volatility. Commodity breakouts. gTrade continues to be one of the most efficient venues to trade macro-driven narratives. 🛢 WTI & BRENT Raffle One trader walked away with 100 $GNS for trading oil markets over the past weeks. Macro volatility ▶️ trading activity ▶️ rewards. More GNS raffles tied to real-world events are coming. https://x.com/GainsNetwork_io/status/2024310160177463612?s=20 ☢ Uranium Featured Pairs Both $URNM and $URA are currently discounted with 50% off fees. Two instruments. One thesis. Express your uranium view the way you prefer. https://x.com/GainsNetwork_io/status/2026671645067251714?s=20 🐇 MegaETH The GNS/USDM pool on @kumbaya_XYZ is now live. This completes $GNS integration within our @megaeth deployment, meaning buybacks and burns from MegaETH trading fees are fully active. https://x.com/GainsNetwork_io/status/2027036551515869603?s=20 We’re still early in the MegaETH ecosystem lifecycle and we’re here to stay. Latency-sensitive primitives and exclusive products remain part of the long-term plan, but current bandwidth is focused on higher-impact upgrades across our core deployments while the ecosystem matures. 🍏 GNS Sub-25M supply achieved 🔥 The Road to 1 GNS continues. https://x.com/GainsNetwork_io/status/2027387141018341766?s=20 A few key notes: • The PnL burn for the gUSDC vault has gradually been brought back to 0% (from 15%). • January and February were among the most deflationary months in gTrade history. • 1.5M+ $GNS burned YTD — more than 6% of the current supply. Very few assets in the industry are deflating at this pace 👀 While the gUSDC PnL burn has been adjusted to support vault health and recoup overcollateralization, trading fee buybacks continue as usual. We’re also proud to have $GNS included in the Token Transparency Filings framework by @blockworks as one of the earliest projects to file: https://x.com/GainsNetwork_io/status/2024889428066341149?s=20 Congrats to Blockworks for expanding the framework to pre-TGE projects! 👥 Team Update The past few weeks have involved internal restructuring. We’re leaning down. New leads are stepping up. Bandwidth is being recalibrated. This means: • Prioritizing high-impact releases over smaller incremental QoL improvements • Aligning around clear short-term execution goals • Delaying lower-priority roadmap items where needed For deeper context, refer to the community discussions on Telegram last week. ⚙️ Dev Updates SC / BE / DevOps: Oracle expansion work to improve RWA feed quality and reduce exploit surface, Futures pricing implementation for (V) pairs, Parameterization upgrades for faster market configuration & risk tuning FE: $GNS spotlight & dashboard improvements, Solana core infrastructure groundwork, Enhanced logging and alerting for faster issue detection, General UI/UX refinements, i18n improvements across supported languages 👀 Looking Ahead 🧠 Futures Pricing for (V) Pairs Still the most immediate priority. • Lower borrowing rates on volatile markets • Reduced toxic flow • Stronger vault protection • Better trading conditions overall A structural upgrade. 🏛 Oracle Stack Expansion Unlocking: • Significantly more RWA pairs • 24/5 market access for select assets • Improved capital efficiency RWAs are gaining momentum — and we’re leaning into it. 🏆 Q1 Trading Competition The goal remains to run a Q1 competition. However, due to restructuring as mentioned above, this may shift into early April. Depending on market conditions, expect a heavier emphasis on RWAs vs. crypto markets. We’re very much open to feedback from traders on preferred structure and prize design. Let us know what you want to compete for. Leave a comment!
