[Volmex] Indices Integration with gTrade

Overview

This proposal requests approval from the Gains Network DAO to enable a partner-specific fee-sharing model for the integration of Volmex volatility indices — specifically BVIV (Bitcoin Volatility Index) and EVIV (Ethereum Volatility Index) — as perpetual contracts on gTrade.

Volmex has engaged with the Gains Network team over recent weeks to align on a product integration and go-to-market strategy. The partnership would make gTrade the first perpetuals DEX to offer these volatility benchmarks on-chain, adding a novel trading primitive for users to directly speculate or hedge around BTC and ETH volatility.

To support this integration, the proposal asks $GNS holders to approve a custom top-down revenue share model that applies exclusively to Volmex-branded indices on gTrade. This revenue structure reflects Volmex’s ongoing role in delivering, maintaining, and supporting institutional-grade indices.

The integration is expected to bring net-new volume and users to the platform, while preserving fee structures on all existing and future gTrade-native pairs.
