Market-listing governance threshold
GMX v2 (GMX Synthetics)'s assessment for RD-F-072 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
GMX v2 operates a Listing Committee with delegated DAO authority for new market listings. For Season 4 (May 1 to October 31, 2026) the committee consists of three elected members: Snipermonke, Simon, and Immie. The committee evaluates new asset listing requests against criteria including on-chain liquidity depth, historical volatility, Chainlink Data Streams oracle availability, and Chaos Labs risk modeling. Committee members are DAO-elected via Snapshot vote and operate under a DAO governance mandate. New listings are not permissionless (anyone-can-list). However, listings also do not require a full DAO on-chain vote per individual listing — the committee has delegated authority. Per rubric: yellow = committee-level delegated threshold (between permissionless red and full DAO vote per listing green). Risk mitigation relies on committee accountability to DAO, not cryptographic access controls per listing.

Classify the governance threshold required to list a new market as: permissionless / low-threshold (team multisig) / high-threshold (DAO vote) / no new listings.
