# GNDX Protocol

> A decentralised on-chain index of Web3 gaming tokens on Arbitrum One. One token ($GNDX) gives diversified exposure to the largest, most-liquid gaming sector tokens. Governed by veGAME holders. Hardcoded 10% weight cap per token. Streaming fee 0.75% annual.

GNDX Protocol is a DeFi index product, not a meme coin and not a yield farm. The $GNDX token is the index product — elastic supply, price tracks the NAV of the underlying basket. The $GAME token has a fixed supply of 200,000,000 and is locked as veGAME for governance and fee revenue share; no mint function exists after initialisation. Final inclusion of any token in the basket is decided by veGAME vote — the Gaming Council only researches and proposes candidates.
