Gate Launchpad Phase V Officially Launches
Gate has announced the fifth phase of its Launchpad, featuring Kodiak (KDK). This round utilizes a fully unlocked distribution model with no linear vesting. Participants receive their entire token allocation immediately upon distribution.
This phase supports both USDT and GUSD for participation, providing users with flexible investment options. GUSD is a yield-bearing asset backed by sovereign bond RWAs, generating returns throughout the holding period and is directly eligible for Launchpad subscription. This enables users to pursue new token opportunities while maintaining stable returns.

Subscription Allocation Logic
Kodiak (KDK) Launchpad bases allocations on the hourly average locked amount. The system tracks users’ locked funds throughout the subscription period and calculates final token allocations according to each participant’s share of the total.
Calculation method:
Hourly average locked amount = Total of hourly locked snapshots during subscription ÷ Total subscription hours (48 hours)
This means that subscribing earlier and keeping funds locked increases the average, resulting in a more favorable allocation for the same investment.
Fund Locking and Return Mechanism
- During the subscription period, invested funds are locked and cannot be withdrawn
- After the subscription ends, the system deducts the corresponding funds based on the actual KDK allocation
- Unused funds will be automatically returned to the spot account after distribution
- If the actual token allocation is below the minimum distribution unit, no tokens will be distributed and all invested funds will be refunded
Earn Bonus Incentives
Users who successfully participate in this Launchpad and subsequently invest in Earn USDT products can receive exclusive incentives with annualized returns up to 200%. These offers include newcomer bonuses and fixed-term investment options. Please refer to platform announcements for actual rules.
