Why isn’t the price you see the price you ultimately trade at?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people have had this experience:

Before placing an order, the price looks right; after the order is filled, they find that the actual purchase price was higher, or the proceeds from selling were lower than expected.

One important factor behind this may be slippage.

Slippage is the difference between the expected execution price and the actual execution price.

It doesn’t necessarily mean something has gone wrong with the trading platform. It may be caused by a combination of market liquidity, ord

Can Smart Contract Audits Guarantee Security? Understanding the Blind Spots Behind Audit Reports

In the Web3 world, smart contract audits are often seen as important proof of a project’s security.

When a project announces that it has completed a third-party security audit, users usually feel more confident using it. But there is an easily overlooked issue: passing an audit does not mean absolute security; failing to find a vulnerability does not mean none exists.

Smart contract audits can help identify potential code flaws, permission configuration issues, and some risks related to economic

Why Aren’t DeFi Prices Determined by the Blockchain Itself? Understanding the Risks Behind Oracles

In the DeFi world, price data can affect whether a loan is completed successfully, whether a collateral asset is liquidated, and even whether a stablecoin protocol can operate normally.

But the blockchain itself cannot directly know the real-world price of BTC, foreign exchange rates, or changes in the weather.

So how do smart contracts obtain this information?

The answer: oracles.

They are critical infrastructure connecting blockchains with external data, and a risk area that many DeFi appl

Don’t Put All Your Digital Assets in One Wallet: A Guide to Web3 Asset Segmentation

In the Web3 world, many people spend a lot of time researching which tokens to buy and what price to buy them at, while overlooking a more fundamental question:

If all your assets are kept in the same wallet, a single mistake could affect your entire portfolio.

The core of wallet management is not just choosing a tool that looks secure, but clearly defining the purpose, usage frequency, and risk boundaries of each portion of your assets.

Today, we’ll take a fresh look at hot wallets, cold wallets, and how t

By the way, have you guys tried the “Money” module in the Gate App lately? I’d never really paid attention to it before, but I tried it recently and it’s a real hidden gem. It brings deposits and withdrawals, card payments, and wealth management all together. Here’s a quick rundown 👇

Why Do Blockchain Transactions Fail? From Gas Fees to Smart Contract Restrictions, Learn How to Troubleshoot

In the Web3 world, many people have encountered situations like these:

You click confirm, but your wallet keeps showing Pending; sometimes a transaction suddenly changes to Failed; and sometimes a transaction takes so long to complete that you don't know whether to keep waiting or try again.

These situations may look similar, but their underlying causes can be very different.

Understanding why a transaction failed is more important than blindly increasing the Gas fee or repeatedly c

BTC trades narrowly near the previous low, with moving-average pressure unresolved

Currently at $73,634.17 (-0.43%), with the 24H range narrowing to 73,390-74,811. It has risen somewhat from the previous low of 72,727 but remains in the danger zone. The 4H moving averages are in a bearish alignment (EMA7:73,919.56 / EMA20:74,360.02 / EMA60:75,801.64), and the current price remains below EMA7. A move above 73,920 would mark initial stabilization; only a break above 74,360 would signal a stronger trend. The 7-day change is -8.7% and the 30-day change is -12.1%, with the

💰 Where exactly does DeFi yield come from?

Liquidity mining, crypto lending, and staking all seem to generate yield, but the mechanisms behind them are completely different.

🔹 Liquidity mining: Yield may come from trading fees and protocol rewards.

🔹 Lending: Yield is usually tied to borrowing demand and interest rate mechanisms.

🔹 Staking: Rewards are usually tied to a blockchain’s validation and consensus mechanisms.

⚠️ A high annualized yield does not mean high returns, much less low risk. Smart contract vulnerabilities, falling token prices, and insufficient liquidity can all affe

But when in doubt, zoom out (check next pics).
I like to believe we already hit the bottom at sub-70K. It looks pretty similar to the bottom we had last summer, and if you look closely, we formed that same bottom again this summer.
And if history likes to repeat itself, we're only going up from here.

When you hear that a wallet in an ecosystem is shutting down, it’s easy to assume your coins have been taken too.

At 22:41 Beijing time on November 11, Sui announced that support for the Suiet wallet would end after November 14. Suiet is a self-custodial wallet on the Sui chain, with users holding their own keys. Sui also shared a statement from the Suiet team: its service will remain available through the 14th to make migration easier. After that, the wallet may not reliably display balances, initiate transfers, or connect to apps. But assets remain on the Sui chain; shutting down the wallet
