GMX Labs has announced a public recruitment process for a new CEO, following a DAO governance vote that approved leadership structure upgrades with 96.42% support. The move aims to transition from a founder-driven model to a more traditional leadership structure as competition in the perpetual DEX space intensifies. The recruitment seeks candidates from DeFi, CeFi, traditional finance, and technology sectors, with the goal of completing the process by April 2026. The CEO will be responsible for defining GMX Labs' strategic direction, building a leadership team, and strengthening partnerships. Compensation includes a base salary of $150,000 to $200,000 in stablecoins, with performance incentives in GMX tokens tied to protocol fee growth. The total annual compensation could reach up to $700,000, depending on performance. An interim leadership committee will manage operations during the transition and lead the CEO search.
