Since its launch on Arbitrum on December 31, Gains Network’s TVL has doubled from $17.76 million in January 2023 to $35.94 million. This shows that Arbitrum is the catalyst for the development of TVL on the platform.

According to DefiLlama’s data, among them, Gains Network has the highest proportion of TVL on Arbitrum, which is 31 million U.S. dollars, while the TVL on Polygon is 17.54 million U.S. dollars. The gTrade decentralized exchange (DEX) is one of Gains Network’s products and the main source of income for the project. gTrade runs on a DAI vault where users can stake assets to open positions and receive gDAI in return.
