Gradient (GRAY) is an Ethereum-based protocol that rethinks how trades get executed in DeFi. Instead of relying solely on AMM pools, it uses its Coordinated Order Routing Engine (CORE) to match trades off-market, aiming to reduce slippage and improve execution quality. This approach positions Gradient as a performance-focused infrastructure layer rather than just another token project.
GRAY serves as the protocol’s value and incentive backbone, enabling a “real yield” model where participants can earn from actual protocol activity rather than inflationary emissions. By aligning rewards with real usage, Gradient encourages long-term involvement from its community and liquidity providers.
Beyond utility, GRAY functions as Gradient’s governance key, giving holders a say in future upgrades and system direction. When more users participate, governance becomes stronger, and the protocol evolves through community guidance, creating a feedback loop that supports sustainable growth.
