Casually assumed GT was just another ERC-20 like FT and XT until I actually checked — it's not. GT is an ERC-721, a non-fungible token, and that single design choice changes more than it sounds like it would. 🎴
A fungible token means every unit is interchangeable — 100 USDC is 100 USDC no matter whose wallet it came from. An NFT means every GT is a distinct, individually tracked object — your specific leveraged position, with its own collateral amount, debt amount, and market parameters baked into that one token ID. #️⃣
Practical implications: you can't "average" two GT positions together the way you could pool two batches of a fungible token — each GT is its own standalone record. You can transfer an entire leveraged position to someone else in a single NFT transfer, collateral, debt, and all, without unwinding anything first. 🔁 And because each position is a unique token, an interface built on TermMax can track and display your exact position history per-NFT rather than reconstructing it from a pool of interchangeable balances.
Rough way to size the trade-off: two GT positions with identical collateral/debt ratios still don't merge into one liquid unit the way 50 USDC + 50 USDC = 100 USDC does. Selling one specific GT means finding a buyer who wants that exact combination — realistically a smaller pool of counterparties than a fungible market of the same total size, which is likely why secondary GT volume looks thinner than FT/XT volume on most markets today. 📈
Did you know GT was an NFT before this, or did you assume it worked like every other token in your wallet? 💬 Would you actually want to trade a GT position on a secondary market, or is holding to close always the plan?
