GMX Labs has released a proposal for an upgrade to its leadership structure, which has been approved by DAO governance voting with 96.42% in favor. The proposal points out that as the team expands and competition in the perpetual DEX space intensifies, GMX Labs' early flat, founder-driven organizational structure is no longer sustainable and needs to transition to a clearer and more accountable traditional leadership structure.The proposal announces the introduction of a CEO through a public recruitment process, with candidates drawn from DeFi, CeFi, traditional finance, and the technology industry. The goal is to complete the recruitment and onboarding by April 2026, and to complete the organizational restructuring and submit a new contributor token allocation plan aligned with performance to the DAO by June.

A 50% increase in fees will yield partial rewards, while a 100% increase to about $120 million will yield the full base reward pool of 40,000 GMX tokens. A 125% increase to about $135 million will additionally grant 10,000 GMX as a special reward. The GMX tokens received will also be adjusted by 0.5 to 1.5 times based on the 30-day average price of GMX, with an annual token compensation cap of 75,000 GMX. Of the performance rewards, 25% will be unlocked immediately upon meeting targets, while the remaining 75% will vest linearly over 24 months, with unvested portions forfeited upon early departure.During the transition period, an interim leadership committee composed of members X, Coin, B, and Kal will be responsible for maintaining operations, advancing the existing roadmap, and leading the search for the CEO.

According to observations from Gate Research Institute, the current implied volatility (IV) for BTC and ETH is approximately 50% and 70%, respectively. The BTC IV is at about the 81.7% percentile over the past year, reflecting a significant increase in the options market's expectations for short-term price volatility.In the past week, the 25-Delta Skew for BTC and ETH has remained in negative territory, with a noticeable steepening at the short end, indicating an increase in short-term hedging demand and greater sensitivity to downside volatility. However, the mid-to-long-term structure remains relatively stable, suggesting a cautious sentiment rather than a trend-based bearish outlook, with the market leaning towards short-term defense and waiting for directional clarity.In the last 24 hours, large options trades for BTC and ETH have primarily involved put spreads: the largest structure for BTC is buying 75k-P / selling 80k-P for 27MAR26, approximately 1,500 BTC, with a net premium received of $370,000; for ETH, it is buying 1800-P / selling 1500-P for 27FEB26, approximately 15,000 ETH, with a net premium paid of $320,000.Gate has comprehensively upgraded its options VIP fee structure, covering all options varieties, achieving substantial fee reductions from entry-level to professional. VIP0 can enjoy lower rates without asset or trading volume thresholds, giving beginners a cost advantage from the start; during the growth phase, upgrading to lower rates can be achieved with "hundred-thousand assets, million-level trades," with thresholds far below the billion-level trading or high asset requirements of mainstream platforms; professional and institutional users at VIP10+ can enjoy industry-low rates of Maker 0% and Taker 0.015%, truly designed with options traders at the core.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform discussing the design ideas of creator coins, pointing out that the overall effectiveness of the crypto industry in the content incentive field has been limited over the past decade. The core issue is not a lack of content supply, but rather an insufficient mechanism for filtering and discovering high-quality content. In the current context where AI can generate a large amount of content at a low cost, the industry's goal should shift from "incentivizing more content" to "identifying and amplifying high-quality content."Vitalik believes that Substack is a relatively successful case of creator incentives, with the key being the platform's active selection and support of quality creators, rather than relying solely on mechanism design. He points out that existing creator coin projects generally have a structural issue of "high social influence users dominating the rankings," which does not truly reflect content quality.On the proposal level, Vitalik suggests establishing a non-tokenized creator DAO, where members vote to select creators and maintain clear content positioning and scale control to build a stable brand and commercial bargaining power. At the same time, creators should be allowed to issue personal tokens; if they join the creator DAO, the DAO's earnings can be used to buy back and destroy the creator tokens, transforming the role of speculators into "high-quality creator predictors," thereby reducing pure speculative cycles and improving the efficiency of high-quality content filtering.Vitalik stated that future effective governance mechanisms may increasingly combine prediction markets and multi-party governance structures to enhance the system's resistance to manipulation and goal consistency.

SoSoValue's high-performance Layer 1 network ValueChain and its core trading sub-chain SoDEX have officially announced the full launch of the mainnet (open to the global public, no invitation code required).The full launch of SoDEX marks the completion of the SoSoValue ecosystem's closed loop from "data investment research (SoSoValue)" to "on-chain trading (SoDEX)" and then to "asset allocation (SSI)" financial infrastructure.

This makes it one of the few trading systems in the industry that can fully implement matching logic on-chain, achieving the extreme speed of centralized exchanges (CEX) while ensuring absolute transparency and security of assets through L1 consensus.One-stop purchase of high-quality assets across the chain: Leveraging the multi-subchain composite architecture of L1, SoDEX connects independent high-performance Spot (spot) and Perps (contract) trading sub-chains, unified under the EVM account system. This means users can trade crypto-native assets and real-world assets (RWA) such as gold and silver in a one-stop manner without switching accounts, greatly enhancing capital efficiency and the convenience of asset allocation.Institutional-level cross-chain security: The system reuses the Mirror Protocol infrastructure of the SoSoValue Indexes Protocol, adopting a combination of third-party custody and Bridge solutions, significantly enhancing the security of multi-asset cross-chain transactions.During the SoDEX testnet period, it attracted over 400,000 user registrations, with an average daily on-chain order volume reaching 3.9 million.According to official sources, this Public Launch will simultaneously launch the SoPoints points system and directly inject 150 million $SOSO as an early ecosystem incentive pool.
