## Details

### What is GMX/GLP?

GMX is a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange that supports low swap fees and zero price impact trades. Trading is supported by a multi-asset pool ($GLP) that earns liquidity providers fees from market making, swap fees, leverage trading (spreads, funding fees & liquidations) and asset rebalancing.

$GLP is a pool of blue chip tokens used to provide liquidity for trading within GMX. It consists of \~50% of volatile assets ( 30% $ETH + 17% $BTC + $LINK + $UNI ) and \~$50% of stable-coins. Traders trade against the pool and pay platform fees. 70% of the fees is distributed to $GLP holders in form of $ETH/$AVAX and esGMX (see <https://gmxio.gitbook.io/gmx/rewards>). We will only consider the $ETH/$AVAX portion of the yield in our strategy.

### Risks from holding GLP

1. Price exposure on risky assets in the pool (e.g. $BTC, $ETH, etc)
2. Trader's profit and loss (Refer to GMX.io traders PnL section)&#x20;

### How does the strategy work?

This strategy aims to achieve market-neutral position by hedging volatile assets in the GLP pool.&#x20;

1. User deposits USDC into strategy vault
2. Strategy splits funds for buying GLP and for delta hedging on AAVE&#x20;
3. Leverage up to 2.5x short on AAVE
4. Target delta-neutral positions comprised of:\
   a. \~80% of deposits in GLP\
   b. Non-stable token shorts matching GLP exposure on AAVE
5. Continuously monitor:\
   a. Loan-to-value on AAVE to avoid liquidation\
   b. GLP non-stable tokens weight change
6. Auto-rebalance on multiple triggers

### Capture up to 80% of GLP APR without price exposure&#x20;

This strategy vault achieves downside protection by trading off 20% upside yield. The vault significantly outperforms simply buy and hold GLP with lower draw-downs and higher return.
