The Garuda DeFi ICO funds GDEX, a governance token letting holders stake and earn shares from protocol fees generated by trading activity on the Garuda DeFi platform. This review must flag directly a severe, confirmed ticker collision: an entirely unrelated, actively-traded token called "DexFi Governance" also uses the exact GDEX ticker, currently trading in the range of $6-24 on Arbitrum-based decentralized exchanges. This review documents the Garuda DeFi presale specifically and provides essential guidance for navigating this significant naming confusion.
Per Garuda DeFi's own documentation, GDEX's tokenomics allocate the full 98.8 million token supply across DEX trading fee shares, split among presale investors, NFT holders, DEX development funding, and a GRDX buyback-and-burn mechanism using 5% of trading fees. By owning and staking GDEX, holders become eligible to earn shares from protocol fees generated by trading activity on the Garuda DeFi platform, claimable hourly or at longer intervals depending on holder preference.
This review found a specific, significant naming collision worth flagging directly: "DexFi Governance," an entirely separate and unrelated DAO-governed DeFi platform built around an "AiLM" (Automated Intelligent Liquidity Manager) and an AI agent called "Gia," also uses the exact GDEX ticker. This unrelated project trades actively on Uniswap V3 (Base and Arbitrum), with CoinGecko showing prices in the $6-24 range and an all-time high of $24.78. This is confirmed to be an entirely separate project from Garuda DeFi, sharing only the GDEX symbol.
Beyond the specific GDEX collision, this review also found separate, unrelated "Garuda Token" (a car-ecosystem marketplace project per CoinCodex) and "GarudaSwap Token" (a BSC-based project with 9,463 confirmed holders per BscScan) projects, adding further naming confusion across the broader "Garuda" brand space. Additionally, DefiLlama's protocol tracker references Garuda DeFi as operating on the Terra Classic blockchain as an automated market maker, a detail worth cross-checking against this catalogue's presale listing.
Garuda DeFi's fee-sharing governance mechanism offers a specific, understandable value proposition for GDEX holders. However, the confirmed, severe collision with the actively-traded, unrelated DexFi Governance token (also using GDEX, currently trading at $6-24) makes independent verification of any general "GDEX" search result extremely difficult, and researchers must take particular care to confirm the exact contract and chain.
No reliable, project-specific current price was confirmed for this Garuda DeFi GDEX token during this review. Do not confuse it with the unrelated DexFi Governance token, which trades actively around $6-24 on Uniswap V3 (Arbitrum/Base); verify the exact contract address directly before any transaction.
Current DEX trading volume and confirmed blockchain should be independently verified directly via Garuda DeFi's docs and DefiLlama. For a comparison against another DEX governance token presale, browse the Muhdohub presale review, or see the Dollaro ICO for another staking-focused presale.
Treat the following as mandatory checks: an entirely unrelated, actively-traded "DexFi Governance" token shares the exact GDEX ticker, trading around $6-24, a confirmed severe collision requiring careful contract verification; separate, unrelated "Garuda Token" and "GarudaSwap Token" projects exist within the broader naming space, adding further confusion; and confirm the exact blockchain this Garuda DeFi project operates on, since sources reference Terra Classic while this catalogue's listing may imply a different chain. Verify the exact contract address and blockchain directly before considering any involvement, given the confirmed severe ticker collision.

Automated market maker (AMM): a decentralized exchange model using liquidity pools and algorithms to price and execute trades, rather than a traditional order book. Fee-sharing governance token: a token letting holders earn a proportional share of a platform's generated trading fees through staking. Ticker collision: when multiple unrelated cryptocurrency projects share the same trading symbol, creating a documented risk of confusion.
