Network before token
Read the deployment-specific collateral table. A platform-wide description can miss a network restriction.
DN Decision Brief / Pilot 01
gTrade.
Know what you’re relying on.
Collateral depends on the deployment. USDC has not universally replaced DAI. Check the selected network, collateral and full cost breakdown before considering a position.
What Matters
Three distinctions before a decision.
Fee before total cost
Separate opening and closing fees from the other costs of maintaining and exiting a position.
Evidence before confidence
Documentation describes a product. It does not establish measured execution quality, safety or your eligibility.
DN Evidence Block
The claim. The evidence. The consequence.
A dated review of two provider documentation pages. No wallet connection, live execution test, independent contract audit or eligibility assessment. Reviewed by Decentralised News editorial research.
Provider-reported
Has USDC replaced DAI?
The chain table still lists DAI. It does not establish which collateral dominates usage.
Why it matters: Match the token to the deployment before transferring funds.
Gains: Trade CollateralsProvider-reported
Are opening and closing fees the whole cost?
The fee guide also describes spread, price impact and holding fees. Funding may be paid or received; borrowing is a separate charge.
Why it matters: Inspect the order breakdown and holding rate; entry fees alone are incomplete.
Gains: Fees & SpreadProvider-reported
Does this cover Gains Solana?
Solana is identified as a separate deployment.
Why it matters: Do not apply this network table or fee illustration to Solana.
Gains: Trade CollateralsUnknown
Can I use it from my country?
This brief does not assess legal access, account eligibility or suitability.
Why it matters: Check current product terms and local requirements independently.

Cost boundary
A visible subtotal. Explicit missing costs.
BTC/USD or ETH/USD documentation example. Equal 10,000 USDC notional on entry and exit; listed base rates; no fee discounts or closing-fee decay. Spread is converted to an approximate notional cost.
Illustrative fee + fixed-spread subtotal8.00 USDC

Change record
What DN changed, and when.
Editorial history is separate from provider release history.
DN publication
Initial evidence brief. Rechecked the collateral and fees documentation. This date records our review, not the date the provider changed its product.
DN editorial correction
Prepared corrections to older DN gTrade coverage and the owner-supplied referral destination; the frontend update was published on 14 October. No provider-change date is asserted.
Method & limitations
What this brief cannot establish.
- Live execution quality and withdrawal performance
- Current collateral usage shares
- User-specific eligibility and available order parameters
“Provider-reported” means an official document supports the statement. “Unknown” means this review does not establish it. Neither label is an independent safety rating. New evidence may change the conclusion.
Review triggers: Collateral or fee documentation changes; A substantiated reader correction; The 14-day editorial review deadline. Reviews are editorial; no automated provider surveillance or notifications are running for this pilot.
DN has a gTrade referral relationship. Commercial compensation is not evidence of quality. This brief contains no partner CTA and makes no operational-status or eligibility recommendation.
