Gains Network
A perpetual-futures DEX on Polygon and Arbitrum offering hundreds of synthetic markets (crypto, forex, stocks) backed by a shared DAI / USDC vault.
Gains Network (gTrade) operates a synthetic-perpetuals model: a shared DAI / USDC vault (gDAI / gUSDC) underwrites every position, oracles supply mark prices, and the vault earns when traders lose on net. The structure lets Gains list assets that have no underlying spot venue — forex, stocks, commodities — alongside crypto perpetuals.
Position sizes are capped to protect the vault against single- trade risk. GNS, the protocol's token, captures fees and staking yield via gToken vault deposits.
