Keep your eyes peeled: gTrade v10 is on its way

Shortly following Chain Reaction week, gTrade v10 will launch. But this isn’t just any minor launch, it will be the most significant protocol upgrade of 2025. Why? This new upgrade will introduce OI Hedging, a long-awaited feature that eliminates friction for longer-term traders and unlocks a 10x leap in scalable open interest. This means that traders will be able to deploy a wider range of strategies including high-leverage directional plays, delta-neutral setups, and more. Liquidity will also deepen, allowing for greater user retention and improved trading conditions. 

To celebrate this launch, gTrade will be kicking off a $200,000 trading competition and several campaigns designed to reward and attract traders to the platform. These efforts will create an exciting on-ramp into the new era of trading on gTrade.

This next chapter positions gTrade as the one-stop shop for perpetual trading across all markets, from crypto-native assets to real-world financial instruments. 

Why Arbitrum is gTrade’s Home

Since expanding from Polygon in December 2022, gTrade has found true product-market fit on Arbitrum. Today, the majority of gTrade’s TVL and daily volume live here, making Arbitrum the protocol’s core ecosystem.

But this isn’t just a deployment, it’s a long-term alignment:

• Upcoming OI unification will consolidate liquidity across chains with Arbitrum at the center
• Arbitrum’s speed, low fees, and deep liquidity make it the ideal home for gTrade’s growing user base
