Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade tests a 200 million gas limit on Sepolia, exploring higher Layer 1 capacity through parallel processing and improved gas pricing.

Gate US offers eligible new users at least $5 in BTC for a $50 net deposit and qualifying Spot trading, with rewards reaching up to $50.

Learn how Gate US new users can qualify for BTC rewards through a qualifying deposit and spot trading, and how the reward tiers work.

Avalanche is a blockchain platform designed to support decentralized applications, smart contracts, and customizable blockchain networks. Instead of relying on a single blockchain for every type of activity, Avalanche uses a multi-chain architecture that separates different functions across its network.

HYPE is the native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain, where it serves as the gas token on HyperEVM and as an asset within Hyperliquid's onchain financial infrastructure. Hyperliquid is a Layer 1 network built to combine native trading infrastructure with a general-purpose, EVM-compatible smart contract environment, giving users access to both onchain financial applications and broader blockchain development.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is a decentralized cryptocurrency and internet currency that started as a meme-inspired digital asset and now runs on its own proof-of-work blockchain for peer-to-peer value transfers. Created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin grew from a satirical project into one of the most recognized digital assets in the crypto market.

Blockchain networks are designed to verify and execute transactions using onchain data, but smart contracts cannot natively access information from external systems such as financial markets, APIs, or other blockchains. This creates the need for blockchain oracles—middleware that connects smart contracts with external data and computation.

Uniswap is a decentralized crypto trading protocol that uses smart contracts and an automated market maker model to let users swap tokens through liquidity pools, while UNI is its native governance token that gives holders a say in protocol decisions. Unlike the native token of a Layer 1 blockchain, UNI is primarily tied to governance of the Uniswap protocol rather than network security or gas fees.

NEAR is the native token of NEAR Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain designed around scalability, usability, and smart contract execution. Its architecture uses sharding to divide network processing across multiple shards, allowing the protocol to scale without requiring every part of the network to process every transaction.

Ethereum is a blockchain network designed to support digital assets, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. Unlike a blockchain focused primarily on transferring its native asset, Ethereum provides a programmable environment where developers can deploy applications and users can interact with onchain programs.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital asset and peer-to-peer payment network introduced through the Bitcoin white paper in 2008. It records transactions on a public blockchain and uses cryptographic signatures and proof-of-work mining to verify transfers without a central authority.

Ondo Perps sees a major opportunity in US perpetual contracts. Learn how perps work, why US rules differ, and what tokenized stocks mean for derivatives.

Learn how to read Gate US trading campaign rules, from eligibility and trading windows to volume calculations, reward tiers and voucher distribution.

XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source, decentralized blockchain designed for transferring and settling digital value. The XRP Ledger uses a consensus protocol rather than proof-of-work mining to validate transactions and maintain the shared ledger.

ONDO is the token associated with the Ondo Finance ecosystem, used primarily for governance within the Ondo DAO and separate from Ondo’s tokenized financial products. Ondo Finance is a blockchain-focused financial platform building infrastructure and products that bring traditional financial assets and markets onchain.
