Decentralized exchange GMX votes to use Chainlink low-latency oracles

A Chainlink exec said the oracles will improve GMX’s security by providing a more “strong degree of tamper-resistance when settling user trades.” Chainlink’s (LINK) low-latency oracles will integrate with the decentralized exchange (DEX) GMX following a successful governance proposal that sought to provide more “granular” real-time market data to GMX v2. Voting ended on April 25 at 12:00 am UTC, with over 96% of participating GMX tokenholders voting in favor of the proposal. The new Chainlink oracles — which were built with the input of GMX core contributors — were brought in to improve upon the functionality of perpetual DEXs and price-sensitive trading on GMX, the author of the proposal explained. The @GMX_IO community has officially approved a proposal to integrate Chainlink's new low-latency oracles as the launch partner in an on-chain vote with 96.28% approval. This integration will enhance both the security and UX of GMX's derivatives protocol.https://t.co/sh1tLDLtps ...
