Gains Network (gTrade) offers unique cross-asset synthetic perps — trade FX, commodities, indices, and crypto with the same DEX. DAI vault liquidity model backs all trades. Best for users wanting diversified perp exposure beyond crypto.
What Gains Network is
Gains Network operates gTrade on Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base. Trades are synthetic — prices oracle-fed, but no real underlying asset delivery. DAI vault provides liquidity; traders bet against the vault.
Cross-asset perps
Beyond crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.), Gains offers forex pairs, gold/silver, oil, and stock indices synthetically. This makes it one of the few DEXs where crypto users can gain non-crypto asset exposure without leaving DeFi.
Verdict
Gains Network is the multi-asset synthetic perp DEX. Best for users wanting FX, commodities, and stock index exposure via DeFi rails.
