**GMX is hiring its first CEO** in what the protocol calls a "governance milestone." **The Role:** - Lead protocol strategy and operations - Formalize organizational structure - Strengthen partnerships - Guide expansion phase for the established DeFi perpetuals exchange **Requirements:** - Proven leadership experience - Understanding of decentralized infrastructure - Track record of scaling protocols **Application Details:** - Open to qualified candidates from any background - Full profile available on [GMX Governance forum](https://gov.gmx.io/t/ceo-search-applications-are-now-open-deadline-april-3-2026/5064) - Deadline: April 3, 2026 This marks a significant step in GMX's evolution as it transitions from a purely decentralized governance model to a hybrid structure with formal leadership.

**GMX DAO Token Buyback Update** The GMX DAO has repurchased **16,250 $GMX tokens** for approximately $111,000 between March 11-17, 2026, at an average price of $6.83 per token. **Program Totals (March 5-17):** - 29,780 GMX tokens re-acquired - Total investment: ~$200,000 - Blended average price: $6.72 per token This marks the continuation of GMX's systematic buyback program, with the DAO steadily accumulating tokens at prices ranging from $6.62 to $6.83 throughout March. The buyback demonstrates the protocol's commitment to managing its token supply and supporting token value for its community.

**GMX has deployed a strategic buy-wall floor at $5 per token, backed by 1 million GMX tokens from the Treasury.** The initiative runs from March 18-25 and represents the next phase of GMX's 'Strategic Plan to Restore Price Discovery.' The protocol has already completed its liquidity consolidation and shifted buybacks to centralized exchanges for continuous execution. **Key Details:** - Buy orders will activate automatically if GMX trades at or below $5 - Execution spans both on-chain venues and CEXs via iceberg orders - Funds approved through Tally governance vote - Assets secured in GMX multi-sig wallet managing Protocol-Owned Liquidity The buy-wall aims to absorb excess supply pressure while potentially accumulating tokens at favorable prices. This defensive mechanism provides a temporary price floor during the weekly epoch window.
