GMX
7.56 / 10100% measured$206.8M in value locked (DefiLlama). Capital is the market voting with its money — scored on a log scale, so the jump from $10M to $100M counts for more than $10B to $20B.
2 published audits with links (DefiLlama) — read the findings yourself. Audits reduce risk, they do not remove it.
Live 3.0 yr (time since DefiLlama listing (a floor on true age)). Most failures happen young, so time survived is real signal.
Deployed on 4 chains (DefiLlama). Breadth is a minor tie-breaker — a focused single-chain protocol can still be excellent.
Median 89 ms to first byte from the live interface, our own probe, slowest sample discarded, single location. Compared only within this category.
