GLP (GMX Liquidity Provider) tokens can be minted with any asset supported by GMX on the chain the user is interacting on and can be redeemed for any other asset in the pool. GLP token holders also earn esGMX (escrowed GMX rewards) which function as GMX tokens that vest over time.

GLP token holders also earn esGMX (escrowed GMX rewards) which can be staked like GMX or vested to become GMX tokens over the course of a year. <ref>https://gmxio.gitbook.io/gmx/rewards</ref>
