# Strategy Overview

GoldLink's inaugural strategy, GMX Funding Rate Farming, capitalizes on the unique dynamics of funding rates in perpetual contracts. In essence, funding rates ensure alignment between futures and spot prices, allowing traders to leverage without directional exposure.

On GMX, GoldLink borrowers have the opportunity to farm funding rates by deploying short positions when long open interest surpasses short open interest. Leveraging GoldLink's borrowing capabilities, borrowers can access additional capital from the lending pool to deploy short positions, fully collateralized by spot positions in the same market. This approach effectively mitigates directional exposure while maximizing yield potential.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.goldlink.io/strategies/gmx-funding-rate-farming/strategy-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
