GX Token
Overview
GX is the native utility token of the GX ecosystem — a high-performance decentralized perpetual exchange built on GX Chain, a Rust-native L1 blockchain with a built-in matching engine. The token serves as the economic backbone for trading fee discounts, staking rewards, governance, and ecosystem incentives.
The total supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 GX with no minting function. Supply can only decrease through burning.
Token Specification
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Token Name | GX |
| Ticker | GX |
| Total Supply | 1,000,000,000 (fixed, no minting) |
| Decimals | 18 |
| Ethereum Standard | ERC-20 (OpenZeppelin v5) |
| Extensions | ERC20Burnable, ERC20Permit (EIP-2612) |
| Chain Denom | agx (1 GX = 10^18 agx) |
| L1 Chain | GX Chain (Rust-native, single binary, GXCore matching engine) |
| Consensus | GX BFT (consensus pipelining) |
| Order Signing | EIP-712 typed data |
| Burn Mechanism | ERC20Burnable — deflationary via holder burns |
| Gasless Approvals | EIP-2612 Permit — off-chain signature approvals |
Dual Existence
The token exists in two forms:
- GX — ERC-20 on Ethereum for broad liquidity, DeFi composability, and CEX listings
- agx — Native denomination on the GX Chain (1 GX = 10^18 agx)
Tokens can be bridged between Ethereum and GX Chain using the multisig-secured bridge.
Four Pillars of Utility
| Utility | Description |
|---|---|
| Trading Fee Discounts | Hold or stake GX to unlock reduced maker and taker fees |
| Staking Rewards (Real Yield) | Stake GX to earn 40% of all trading fees paid in USDC — real yield, not emissions |
| Deflationary Burns | 20% of all trading fees buy GX on the open market and burn it forever |
| Governance | Staked GX grants voting power over protocol decisions |
| Ecosystem Incentives | GX powers liquidity mining, trading rewards, and referral programs |
Hybrid Fee Distribution — The Killer Feature
GX is the only DEX offering real USDC yield to stakers AND deflationary token burns. Every trade on GX Chain generates fees that are split four ways:
| Recipient | Share | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GX Stakers | 40% | Direct USDC rewards proportional to staked amount — real yield |
| Buy & Burn GX | 20% | Protocol buys GX on the open market and burns it permanently — deflationary |
| Insurance Fund | 20% | Backstop for liquidation shortfalls and black swan events |
| Protocol Treasury | 20% | DAO-governed treasury for development, operations, and ecosystem grants |
40% of fees go to stakers in USDC. 20% buy GX and burn it forever. This dual mechanism creates both immediate cash flow for holders and long-term supply reduction, making GX one of the strongest value accrual models in DeFi.

Fair Launch Model
GX does not use a traditional presale. Instead, 160M GX (16%) is listed as a GX/USDC spot pair on GX Exchange at a starting price of $0.008. GIP-2 auto-liquidity seeds the order book with 500 price levels at 0.3% increments. Anyone can buy — no whitelist, no KYC, no rounds. Price discovers naturally as supply gets bought up, with USDC revenue going to treasury for marketing and operations.
