What Matters
Collateral correction — 26 October 2026: DAI markets are close-only on Arbitrum and Polygon: existing DAI positions can be closed, but new DAI trades cannot be opened. See the official collateral table. This targeted documentation check updates collateral availability only; it is not a new fee, execution, security or eligibility audit.
Updated 13 October 2026: this early Gains Network walkthrough has been refreshed. Its original screenshots, NFT incentives, fixed fee figures and Polygon-only setup no longer provide a reliable current onboarding path.

USDC, DAI and collateral by chain
The official opening-collateral table lists USDC, WETH and GNS on Arbitrum; USDC and WETH on Polygon; USDC and BtcUSD on Base; and USDm on MegaETH. DAI markets on Arbitrum and Polygon are close-only. Solana is a separate deployment. A supported token is not evidence of its usage share or safety. Check the selected network and token before transferring funds.
Starting from a wallet
Choose a supported deployment, confirm its collateral and gas requirements, and inspect approvals before signing. Opening a derivative commits funds to protocol contracts even though you do not create a conventional exchange account. Do not follow the old MATIC-to-GNS swap walkthrough as a prerequisite.
GNS and vaults
Token incentives and liquidity provision are separate decisions from opening a trade. Historic NFT reward percentages and token-distribution statements have been removed pending current verification. A stablecoin-denominated vault is not a guaranteed-value savings account.
What can go wrong?
Wallet-based trading still commits collateral to smart contracts. It does not remove contract, oracle, collateral-depeg, governance, network or liquidation risk. A stop is an instruction, not insurance against every gap or delay. Forex and commodities have market closures. Check eligibility and current terms before connecting; wallet access does not establish permission to trade in every country.
Use practice mode to learn the controls. Do not increase leverage merely to meet an order minimum. Decide how much you can afford to lose before choosing exposure, and retain gas for any required transactions.
