Gate's "All In Web3" Bombshell: 3 New Platforms That Change EVERYTHING

‍

The crypto landscape just shifted. Gate, a leading cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2013 by Dr. Han, has officially launched its "All in Web3" ecosystem. This is a strategic shift from being a trading platform to an "All in Web3 operating system" where users can build, trade, and create on-chain.

With more than 41 million registered users worldwide, Gate is ranked in the top 4 for derivatives trading and the top 2 for spot trading. The platform saw an astounding $923 billion in futures trading volume and $131 billion in spot trading volume in August 2025 alone. The exchange services users in 224 countries and territories, supports 3,600+ cryptocurrencies over 3,000+ trading pairs, and has reserves of over $11.6 billion with a reserve ratio of 124%.

Beyond trading, Gate has expanded into Private Wealth Management services, offering ultra-high-net-worth clients personalized portfolio management and institutional-grade advisory.

The "All in Web3" ecosystem is built on three core pillars, all powered by the GT token.

‍

1. Gate Layer: The High-Performance L2 Foundation

Launched on September 25, 2025, Gate Layer is Gate's high-performance Layer 2 blockchain. Its on-chain addresses have already surpassed 100 million.

Technical Architecture & Specifications:

• Built on the OP Stack.
• Uses GateChain as its settlement layer.
• Implements a dual security mechanism combining GateChain settlement with GT token staking for consensus.
• Throughput: 5,700+ transactions per second (TPS).
• Block Time: Approximately 1 second.
• Transaction Costs: Sub-cent fees (processing 1 million transfers costs less than $30).
• EVM Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
• Cross-Chain Support: Integrated with the LayerZero protocol for transfers across Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Solana.
• Gas Token: GT is the exclusive gas token for all on-chain activity, including standard transactions, smart contract deployments, NFT minting, and cross-chain transfers.

Developer Benefits: Full EVM compatibility allows for familiar tooling (MetaMask, Hardhat), native integrations with Gate's exchange services, low deployment costs, and built-in distribution to Gate's 40+ million user base.

2. Gate Perp DEX: The Hybrid Liquidity Powerhouse

Launched on September 29, 2025, Gate Perp DEX is a decentralized perpetual futures exchange on Gate Layer. It has surpassed $1 billion in total trading volume.

Core Features:

• Trading Pairs: 469 markets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum supporting up to 125x leverage.
• Order Types: Market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit, conditional, and iceberg orders.
• Margin Modes: Cross margin (portfolio margining) and isolated margin.
• Position Modes: One-way and two-way positions (hedging mode).

Technical Advantages:

• Uses a proprietary, high-performance matching engine.
• Features on-chain settlement with all data secured by audited smart contracts.
• Risk Management: Includes real-time liquidation engines, funding rate mechanisms, an insurance fund, a vault auto-balancing system, and advanced margin models.
• Composability: Oracle, vault, and LP modules are designed to plug into other DeFi applications.
• Multi-Chain Deposits: Supports deposits from Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base via LayerZero.

3. Gate Fun: The 1-Second Token Launchpad

Launched on September 30, 2025, Gate Fun is a zero-code token launchpad. Its tagline is "transform creativity to crypto assets in just 1 second." Over a hundred projects formed active communities within days.

Key Features:

• One-Click Token Creation: Takes ~1 second with gas fees less than $0.001 in GT.
• Customizable parameters (name, symbol, initial trading settings) with no coding required.
• Integrated Trading: Tokens are immediately tradable and integrated with Gate Alpha, Meme Go, and Gate Swap.

Graduation Mechanism: Tokens can "graduate" by meeting thresholds like a minimum liquidity of 1,000 GT, holder distribution quality, trading volume, and volatility bands. Graduated tokens gain enhanced visibility.

Creator Tools: Includes anti-rug protections (LP locks), tokenomics templates, real-time analytics, and audit hook integrations.

GT Tokenomics & The Vertical Integration Strategy

GT reached an all-time high of $25.96 and is a top 100 cryptocurrency. Its new utilities include:

• Gas token for Gate Layer.
• Trading fee discounts on Gate Perp DEX.
• Liquidity requirement for Gate Fun token graduations.
• Staking for consensus in Gate Layer.

‍

Deflationary Mechanics: GT has a dual burn mechanism—quarterly scheduled burns and automatic on-chain burns (EIP-1559 model). Over 180 million GT (approx. 60% of the initial 300 million supply) has been burned.

Vertical Integration & Global Compliance:
This strategy allows Gate to capture more of the crypto value chain. Key advantages include diversified revenue capture, increased user retention, and leveraging its 40+ million user base for built-in distribution.

Gate obtained MiCA authorization from the financial regulator in Malta in September 2025, allowing it to operate in the European Union in compliance with regulatory requirements. Gate's entities hold regulatory registrations or licenses in Malta, Italy, the Bahamas, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and Dubai.

As Dr. Han stated: “Exchanges win when users can build, trade, and create on one stack. Gate Layer, Perp DEX, and Gate Fun turn that vision into a daily reality, all on-chain.”
