What is Rage Trade (RAGE)?

🟢 The simple version
Plain English — no jargon. Start here.
Rage Trade uses an 80-20 vault model — 80% of LP capital in GLP earning GMX fees passively, 20% as active AMM liquidity for Rage Trade perps — so LPs earn both GLP yield AND Rage trading fees simultaneously on the same capital.
Recycled liquidity innovation
Normal perp DEXs: LPs lock 100% capital in the protocol (idle when no trades). Rage Trade: 80% in GLP (earning ~15-25% GMX fees automatically), 20% active AMM liquidity. When Rage needs more liquidity, it can pull from the GLP reserve. LPs don't have to choose: they earn both GLP fees AND Rage perp trading fees. Deep GMX integration on Arbitrum. Is RAGE legal in India? Yes. 30% tax, 1% TDS apply.
🟡 A bit more detail
For when you want to go a little deeper.
RAGE as GMX complement
Rage Trade is positioned as GMX ecosystem complement, not competitor. It uses GLP as its foundation, creating recycled liquidity. The 80-20 model is the architectural innovation — a template for capital-efficient perp DEX LP design that doesn't require full capital lockup.
