The GMX DAO community has addressed key questions around the distribution plan for the recovered GLP funds. A follow-up vote is expected to go live on Snapshot tomorrow, Thursday.
Once the results of this vote are in, the distribution of the funds to users will begin.
Our initial analysis of today’s GLP exploit, conducted in collaboration with our security partners and lead auditor, still confirms that the attack vector is specific to GMX V1. The manipulation involved relates to the calculation of the short average price on V1, and the same calculation mechanism is not employed in the GMX V2 contracts.
Out of an abundance of caution, GMX had already updated the caps for the GM tokens of GMX V2 on Arbitrum and Avalanche, so that minting new tokens is currently restricted in most liquidity pools. A follow-up notification will be sent out once this restriction is lifted.
GMX will provide a detailed post-mortem analysis publicly, as soon as the investigation into the incident is complete.
The GLP pool of GMX V1 on Arbitrum has experienced an exploit. Approximately $40M in tokens has been transferred from the GLP pool to an unknown wallet.
Security has always been a core priority for GMX, with the GMX smart contracts undergoing numerous audits from top security specialists. So, in this hands-on-deck moment, all core contributors are investigating how the manipulation occurred, and what vulnerability may have enabled it.
Our security partners are also deeply involved, to ensure we gain a thorough understanding of the events that occurred and minimise any associated risks as quickly as possible. Our primary focus is on recovery and pinpointing the root cause of the issue.
Actions taken:
Trading on GMX V1, and the minting and redeeming of GLP, have been disabled on both Arbitrum and Avalanche to prevent any further attack vectors and protect users from additional negative impacts.
Scope of the vulnerability:
Please note that the exploit does not affect GMX V2, its markets, or liquidity pools, nor the GMX token itself.
Based on the available information, the vulnerability is limited to GMX V1 and its GLP pool.
As soon as we have more complete and validated information, a detailed incident report will follow.

Establishing the GMX Reserve for GMX Solana
We are pleased to announce that now is an opportune time to establish the GMX reserve for GMX Solana, in light of the upcoming bridging of GMX to the Solana. To this end, we will be carrying out the following operation:
Background:
- 49,783 GMX has been purchased at an average price of $10.04, totaling 500,000 USDC.
- The acquired GMX has been withdrawn to an Arbitrum address.
https://t.co/aEBd3zmAon
- All the GMX has transferred to the GMX Treasury (Tally) for temporary custody.
https://t.co/qxFm4dQeNJ
https://t.co/GVWUohO0pJ
1. 500,000 USDC should be transfered from GMX Solana Treasury to the operation team to complete the buyback via its 5/7 multisig. The proposal for this operation is:
https://t.co/VPEOUip0BZ
2. Upon completion of the GMX bridge to Solana, the GMX Treasury should transfer the custodied GMX to the GMX Solana Treasury. The GMX Solana Treasury will then use the entirety of this GMX to purchase GM in the GM:GMX-USDC pool, as previously agreed.
Impacts following step 1:
- A temporary decrease in the asset value of the GMX Solana Treasury will be observed—from approximately $540,000 down to $40,000—until the GMX bridge is settled.
- The daily maximum buyback value for GT will be limited to 1,600 USDC until the GMX bridge is completed.
We appreciate your continued support and understanding as we take this important step toward strengthening the GMX Solana.
Is it the end or just beginning?
