Following the approval of GMX’s Short-Term Incentive Program proposal, GMX will allocate up to 2.0 million $ARB to support Arbitrum protocols building on and integrating with GMX.
This allocation will support protocols and integrations that haven’t taken part in (or were not eligible to participate directly in) STIP, but which nonetheless support the adoption of Arbitrum and GMX V2. It is directed to support wallets, crypto gateways, and upcoming protocols that meet specific minimum requirements in terms of safety, security, and reputation (GMX will consult and seek advice from the Arbitrum Foundation and/or the Liquidity Multisig as appropriate to ensure this is done with proper compliance).
Such integrations will distribute the provided incentives to users who utilise GMX contracts through these integrations in a manner that, in principle, matches the same objectives. These users will receive incentives through grants for providing liquidity, engaging in trading activities, contributing to the extension of GMX’s features, and completing integrations, grants, and Request For Proposals (RFPs).
This approach reinforces the channel that connects GMX’s growth to that of the entire Arbitrum ecosystem, ensuring mutual benefits and collaborative development.
GMX is committed to providing limited operational support to ensure the success of protocols building on top of the GMX base layer.
<aside> ⚠️ Please note: thanks to the massive response from builders on Arbitrum submitting grant proposals, GMX will no longer accept new grant applications. The Grants Program will be effectively sunset starting Wednesday, December 13th.

GMX’s proposal under the S.T.I.P program was accepted by the Arbitrum DAO. 12 million $ARB tokens will be used as incentives to support the joint growth of GMX V2 and the Arbitrum DeFi ecosystem. These token incentives will be used as Liquidity incentives, Trading incentives and Grant incentives.
This page documents the Grant Incentives program. For the other two categories of the GMX S.T.I.P. Incentives distribution, please see this Notion document here.
