# Zero-Sum Game vs. Mutual Benefit

GMX and Similar Futures Platforms:

* Operate on a zero-sum model
* For one trader to profit, another must lose
* Can lead to adversarial dynamics within the platform

MortgageFi:

* Not a zero-sum game
* Borrowers can profit from asset appreciation without direct counterparties losing
* Lenders earn yield from loan repayments
* Creates a more collaborative ecosystem
