GMX is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange wherein investors can buy and sell digital assets without any intermediary by using smart contracts. At a very low fee, the platform also offers zero price impact trading. This facilitates more capital-efficient trading without any sort of slippage.

The strong performance of GMX comes despite the major slowdown in the decentralized finance (DeFi) market.
