Driving New Growth in Web3 Infrastructure
As blockchain technology rapidly moves into the mainstream, the market demands infrastructure solutions that deliver high performance, low fees, and seamless multi-chain interoperability. Gate Layer, a next-generation Layer 2 network, doesn’t just offer faster transactions and lower costs—it’s committed to fostering a truly open, decentralized environment for innovation. Developers and users alike can build their own Web3 ecosystems without constraints, leveraging an unrestricted architecture.
Layer 2 Architecture Powered by OP Stack
Gate Layer is built on the OP Stack framework, with Gate Chain as its settlement layer. This design ensures both robust security and flexible deployment, allowing developers to migrate existing Ethereum applications effortlessly using familiar tools like MetaMask, Remix, and Hardhat. Developers do not need to rewrite code or incur high migration costs.
Key Technical Features:
- Full EVM Compatibility: DApps deploy directly and connect seamlessly with the Ethereum ecosystem.
- Dual-Layer Security: Integrates Gate Chain’s consensus mechanism and the GT staking model to secure the network.
- High-Speed Performance: One-second average block time, with peak throughput reaching 5,700 TPS.
- Low Gas Fees: Transaction costs are substantially lower than those of major Layer 2 networks.
- Multi-Chain Connectivity: Incorporates LayerZero protocol to support leading blockchains such as ETH, BSC, and Polygon.
Gate Layer’s technical foundation accelerates transactions and streamlines development, resulting in a lighter, more sustainable platform.
Gate Swap Liquidity Pools Launch
Gate Swap, the AMM protocol on Gate Layer, empowers the ecosystem with efficient, decentralized trading and liquidity. With community-driven liquidity pools, anyone can become a liquidity provider (LP), contribute funds to trading pairs like GT/USDT, receive LP tokens, and earn a share of trading fees.
The platform sends all fees directly to LPs, and users can add or withdraw liquidity at any time, managing their positions and returns independently. Gate Swap also enables users to create liquidity pools on their own, set token pairs and initial prices flexibly, and elevate their DeFi experience. With the launch of liquidity pools, Gate Layer advances its financial infrastructure, drives asset circulation and value appreciation, and fosters ecosystem innovation.

Gate Layer Introduces Gas-Free Swap Functionality
Gate’s proprietary Layer 2 network, Gate Layer, now offers fully integrated gas-free swaps. If your wallet lacks native assets like GT, the system automatically deducts gas fees from the payment token, allowing trades to proceed without extra native tokens.
Traditionally, swaps require native tokens for gas, and insufficient balances often cause transaction failures. On Gate Layer, simply select your token and confirm the trade; if gas-free mode is enabled, the system will prompt you and automatically deduct the fee from your payment token—only when the transaction succeeds. Afterward, you can review the details in your transaction history.
This feature is currently exclusive to Gate Layer and will expand to more networks in the future. It streamlines the swap process, reduces gas-related barriers, and makes on-chain operations smoother and more efficient. Gate will continue to enhance the user experience, building a more convenient decentralized trading environment.

Expanding the Web3 Ecosystem
Gate Layer is more than just technical infrastructure—it builds a complete Web3 ecosystem with applications, creators, and users. The Gate team has launched several native applications to further enhance network functionality:
- Perp DEX: A perpetual contract platform offering low slippage and instant order matching.
- Gate Fun: A no-code token launch tool for creators to quickly establish community token economies.
- Meme Go: An analytics platform for multi-chain meme coin markets, providing real-time data and trend tracking.
These applications showcase Gate Layer’s scalability and its commitment to advancing Web3 adoption.
GT Token: The Central Engine of the Ecosystem
GateToken (GT) has evolved from a single exchange token into the driving force at the heart of Gate Layer’s ecosystem. It powers its economic cycles and governance. GT’s main functions include:
- Means of Payment and Interaction: Used for contract deployment, NFT transactions, and cross-chain operations.
- Dual Deflationary Model:
- Burn Mechanism: As of Q2 2025, over 60% of total GT supply has been permanently burned.
- EIP-1559 Implementation: Each transaction automatically burns part of the fee, increasing scarcity.
This mechanism ensures GT has practical utility, long-term value, and strong deflationary potential.
Summary
Gate Layer’s launch is a milestone in technological innovation, marking a pivotal shift for the Web3 ecosystem toward high performance and low costs. Its open architecture and advanced interoperability empower developers to innovate seamlessly and users to enjoy truly fluid blockchain experiences. As the GT economic model matures and native applications continue to grow, Gate Layer is poised to become the foundation of the next-generation Web3 landscape. It drives the industry toward greater efficiency, openness, and sustainability.
