Key Finance is a DeFi protocol closely associated with [GMX.io](https://gmx.io/#/), a decentralized spot and perpetual trading platform on Arbitrum, an L2 chain. As the number of GMX stakers on the GMX platform increases, so does the potential customer base that can benefit from using Key Finance. Especially for users who stake GMXs and esGMXs on GMX, they can use Key Finance to maximize the liquidity of their assets and earn compounding rewards.

GMX is a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange that supports low swap fees and zero-price impact trades, according to [the official docs](https://gmxio.gitbook.io/gmx/). GMX stakers are users who hold GMX tokens and stake them in the GMX to receive rewards such as transaction fees and a share of the platform’s revenue.&#x20;

Key Finance, the liquidity solution in the GMX ecosystem, provides GMX stakers with additional ways to generate income while indirectly holding GMX tokens.
