GMX Vote on Deployment on Spiderchain

APR

Event date

Monday 28 April 2025, UTC

Event description

  • GMX, a decentralized exchange protocol, announced a governance proposal to deploy GMX V2 on Spiderchain, a second-layer blockchain solution by Botanix Labs, which uses a decentralized network of multisig wallets to secure Bitcoin on the Botanix EVM chain.
  • The Spiderchain separates Bitcoin the asset from Bitcoin the blockchain, ensuring security through "forward security" design, where even a 2/3 majority attack cannot access older multisig-locked Bitcoin, as detailed by Botanix Labs documentation.
  • Voting for the proposal is hosted on Snapshot, a decentralized voting platform, and is open until April 28, 2025, allowing GMX community members to influence the protocol's expansion into new blockchain infrastructure.

GMX Governance Proposal Vote

This governance proposal aims to refine GMX’s fee model and introduce incentives to encourage adoption on Botanix, a layer built for scalable Bitcoin transactions. The vote, accessible via [https://t.co/xPbKoPFZaG], lets $GMX token holders decide on changes that could enhance trader rewards and platform growth. Its significance lies in expanding GMX’s ecosystem beyond Arbitrum and Avalanche into Bitcoin’s burgeoning DeFi space, which could attract new users and liquidity. The outcome may influence staking yields and trading fees, making it a pivotal moment for investors and traders alike. Note: As with all governance votes, outcomes depend on community participation, and crypto investments carry inherent risks like volatility—do your research!Recent NewsGMX has been making waves recently. On June 17, 2025, the team announced this Botanix deployment vote [X Post ID: 1934949831606219078], signaling a strategic pivot. Earlier this year, on January 3, 2025, GMX outlined its 2025 development plan, including cross-chain trading expansions [gmxio.substack.com]. This aligns with a 150% rise in Bitcoin DeFi’s total value locked (TVL) in 2024 [DefiLlama], highlighting a timely move. The project’s weekly trading volume, often exceeding $1 billion on Arbitrum and Avalanche [gmx.io], underscores its robust liquidity foundation.Future PlansLooking ahead, GMX aims to integrate Solana and other EVM-compatible blockchains, per its 2025 roadmap [gmxio.substack.com]. The Botanix deployment could be a stepping stone, enabling seamless cross-chain trading and reducing network fees. The team also plans virtual account features to enhance user experience, solidifying GMX’s role as a DeFi liquidity layer. These ambitions could position GMX as a leader in an interconnected DeFi ecosystem.Onchain DataSpecific onchain metrics for the Botanix deployment are pending as it’s a new initiative. However, GMX’s existing platforms show strong activity: Arbitrum’s $GMX staking has consistently held over 9,000 wallets with $50M+ in staked value [Dune Analytics, June 2025 snapshot]. Post-vote adoption on Botanix could mirror this growth, though data will emerge post-deployment.Community SentimentX reactions are buzzing with optimism. Users like @Jonas_ALA and @nelson_mad69169 highlight the vote’s importance [X Post IDs: 1934950125614379274, 1934952373098586524], while @ClaraElsdobi seeks clarity on staking rewards [X Post ID: 1934953856666149373], reflecting engaged curiosity. Influencers tagging analysts like @ppt7sctv and @QuintroAnn suggest confidence in the proposal’s potential [X Post IDs: 1934995681045025046, 1934991118514389425]. Sentiment leans positive, though some await reward details.Why It MattersThis vote taps into Bitcoin DeFi’s rise, outpacing Ethereum’s growth in some metrics [Journal of Blockchain Research, 2023]. For users, it promises lower fees and new trading opportunities, while competitors like dYdX lag in Bitcoin integration. Whether you’re a trader or staker, your vote could shape GMX’s next chapter—don’t miss out!
