Gate Swap liquidity pool is officially launched, marking a new phase in the Gate Layer ecosystem.

New Driving Force for Web3 Infrastructure

As the blockchain accelerates towards mainstream adoption, the market urgently needs a foundational layer solution that combines high efficiency, low fees, and multi-chain interoperability. Gate Layer, as a next-generation Layer 2 network, not only offers faster transaction speeds and lower costs but also aims to create a truly open and decentralized innovative environment, allowing developers and users to build their own Web3 worlds within an unrestricted framework.

Layer 2 Architecture Design Based on OP Stack

Gate Layer adopts OP Stack as its core framework and uses Gate Chain as the underlying settlement layer. This design balances security and flexibility, allowing developers to seamlessly migrate existing Ethereum applications and directly use familiar tools (such as MetaMask, Remix, Hardhat, etc.) for deployment without the need to rewrite code or face high migration costs.

Technical highlights include:

• Fully EVM compatible: DApps can be directly deployed and are fully interoperable with the Ethereum ecosystem.

• Dual-layer security protection: Combining the Gate Chain consensus mechanism with the GT staking model to ensure on-chain security.

• Lightning Performance: An average block time of 1 second, with a peak TPS of up to 5,700.

• Low Gas Costs: Fees are significantly lower than mainstream Layer 2 networks.

• Multi-chain interoperability: Integrating the LayerZero protocol, supporting mainstream chains such as ETH, BSC, and Polygon.

The technical foundation of Gate Layer not only makes transactions faster but also makes development lighter and more sustainable.

Gate Swap Liquidity Pool Launched

Gate Swap, as an AMM protocol on Gate Layer, provides efficient and decentralized trading and liquidity support for the entire ecosystem. Through liquidity pools built collaboratively by users, anyone can become a liquidity provider (LP), inject funds into trading pairs (such as GT/USDT), and earn LP tokens to enjoy a share of the trading fee profits.

Platform fees are 100% returned to LPs, allowing users to add or remove liquidity at any time and manage their positions and earnings independently. In addition, Gate Swap supports users in creating their own liquidity pools, flexibly setting token pairs and initial prices, greatly enhancing the DeFi participation experience. The launch of this liquidity pool signifies that the foundational financial infrastructure of Gate Layer is becoming more complete, driving asset circulation, value growth, and ecosystem innovation into a new stage.

Gate Layer Launches Swap Gas-Free Exchange Feature

As a high-performance Layer 2 network independently developed by Gate, Gate Layer now fully supports the gas-free feature in Swap exchanges. When the native assets (such as GT) in the wallet are insufficient, the system will automatically use the payment tokens to offset gas fees, allowing users to complete transactions without needing to prepare additional native tokens.

Traditional Swap operations require native tokens to pay for Gas, and insufficient balance often leads to transaction interruptions. Now, on Gate Layer, as long as you select the token and confirm the transaction, if the Gas-free mode is enabled, the system will prompt and automatically deduct the fee from the payment token, and it will only take effect upon the successful completion of the transaction. After the transaction is completed, users can check the detailed deduction records in the transaction history.

Currently, this feature is limited to Gate Layer and will gradually expand to more networks in the future. This significantly simplifies the user's exchange process, reduces the obstacles caused by Gas costs, and makes on-chain operations more efficient and smooth. Gate also stated that it will continue to optimize the experience and create a more convenient decentralized trading environment for users.

Diverse Ecological Layout

The goal of Gate Layer is not just to become a technological infrastructure; it is building a complete Web3 ecosystem composed of applications, creators, and users. Currently, the Gate team has launched multiple native applications to further expand the overall network functionality:

• Perp DEX: A perpetual contract platform with low slippage and instant matching.

• Gate Fun: A no-code token issuance tool that helps creators quickly establish community token economies.

• Meme Go: An analytical platform that integrates the multi-chain Meme coin market, providing real-time data and trend tracking.

These applications not only demonstrate the scalability of Gate Layer but also highlight its practical actions in promoting the popularization of Web3.

GT Token: The Core Energy Driving the Ecosystem

GateToken (GT) has upgraded from a single exchange token to the core driving force of the Gate Layer ecosystem. It supports the entire network's economic cycle and governance system. The main functions of GT include:

1. Payment and interaction medium: Used for contract deployment, NFT trading, and cross-chain operations.

2. Dual Deflationary Design:

• Destruction mechanism: As of Q2 2025, over 60% of the total supply has been permanently destroyed.

• EIP-1559 Model: A portion of the fees is automatically burned for each transaction, further enhancing scarcity.

This mechanism ensures that GT not only has practical uses but also possesses long-term value and deflationary potential.

Summary

The birth of Gate Layer not only symbolizes technological evolution but also represents a turning point for the Web3 ecosystem towards an era of high efficiency and low cost. With its open architecture and strong interoperability, it allows developers to innovate seamlessly and provides users with a truly smooth blockchain interaction experience. As the GT economic model continues to improve and native applications expand, Gate Layer is gradually becoming the cornerstone of the new generation of the Web3 world, driving the entire industry towards a more efficient, open, and sustainable future.
