Gate Products

The Gate Secure Asset Fund for Users, or SAFU, is a dedicated fund designed to strengthen user asset protection. It is not part of ordinary operating capital. Instead, it provides an additional financial buffer on top of Gate’s reserve and security systems for extreme scenarios such as cyberattacks, liquidity crises, and other major security incidents.

KYC, or Know Your Customer, is Gate’s identity verification process, and this Gate KYC guide explains how it works across individual account checks, business KYB reviews, required documents, verification steps, regional rules, and extra screening for products such as Gate Card, Gate Pay, and Stocks. For Gate users, verification is not just a one-time signup task: it can determine access to deposits, withdrawals, fiat services, card applications, stock trading, merchant tools, and other regulated products.

There is no single “best” Gate Earn product—the right choice depends on liquidity needs, whether you want to subscribe manually, lock-up tolerance, and whether returns should come from lending interest, balance snapshots, or on-chain staking. Idle Earn suits short-term idle USDT; Simple Earn suits active lending of idle tokens; Soft Staking suits spot holders; Staking targets PoS delegation; Auto-Earn auto-routes spot balances into Simple Earn Flexible.

On Gate, common yield paths include On-Chain Earn (PoS staking), Soft Staking, Simple Earn Flexible (lending—not PoS), Locked Staking, and Auto-Earn. They differ in liquidity, lock terms, and reward sources; choose by holding goal and trading frequency rather than treating one option as the default “best stake.”

To build an automated crypto trading strategy on Gate, define a one-sentence goal and market regime, select a liquid spot pair, then launch through Trading Bots → Spot Grid → Ultra AI → Create on web or Bots → Create Bot → Spot Grid in the app. Compare Ultra AI’s 7-day backtest, Recommended Bots templates, and Manual Grid Setup with backtest before setting grid bounds, investment size, stop-loss, and take-profit rules.

Gate subaccounts are investment accounts created and managed under a main account, used for role separation and asset isolation. Subaccounts inherit the main account’s VIP tier and fee discounts, count trading volume toward main-account VIP evaluation, and only the main account can initiate fund transfers.

Gate AI is a general-purpose AI assistant developed by Gate, capable of conversational Q&A, information search, data insights, and task execution, enabling users to efficiently obtain answers and complete tasks via natural language. By integrating platform content, real-time information, and intelligent recommendations, Gate AI delivers a seamless experience for information retrieval and solution generation, and is evolving into the unified entry point for the Gate AI ecosystem.

Gate Launchpool is Gate’s staking-based token reward platform. Users can stake GT, BTC, ETH, USDT, GUSD, or other designated assets into eligible pools and receive new project tokens based on their effective share of the pool. Unlike directly buying a newly listed token, Launchpool allows users to use existing crypto holdings to participate in new project reward distributions.

Gate Travel is Gate’s travel booking service, allowing users to search for and book hotels and flights directly through the Gate App and pay with either crypto or fiat. Compared with traditional travel platforms, one of its key differences is that crypto payments are integrated directly into the booking process, so users do not necessarily need to convert digital assets into bank funds before paying for a hotel or flight.

Gate Wealth is Gate’s comprehensive wealth-management and private-banking-style platform for global ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals and institutions. It places Web3 digital assets and traditional financial assets inside one account, research, and execution framework, with emphasis on secure compliant protection, 24/7 personalized coverage, and a global liquidity network.

Earning interest on crypto means generating yield by lending, staking, or placing digital assets into an earn product instead of leaving them idle. The rate is usually floating, and payouts may come from borrowers, blockchain networks, or traders, often in the same coin or a reward token.

Earning crypto in a sideways market is a way to put idle assets to work when prices remain within a defined range. Instead of relying only on directional price gains, holders can use yield products or systematic strategies to seek returns from lending, staking, scheduled purchases, or structured settlements.

To earn passive income with crypto, you can stake tokens on Proof of Stake networks, lend digital assets for interest, earn yields on stablecoins, or collect rewards from holding-based products without frequent buying and selling. These strategies are most relevant for crypto traders and investors who already hold different assets and want to increase their holdings, improve capital efficiency, and add returns without staying active in the market every day.

Simple Earn requires users to subscribe assets to Flexible or Fixed Term products, while Soft Staking lets eligible assets earn rewards without locking them, so they remain available for trading or withdrawal. For most crypto traders and investors deciding between Gate Simple Earn vs Soft Staking, that liquidity difference is the key factor: choose Simple Earn if you want to deliberately park idle assets in an Earn product, and choose Soft Staking if keeping funds accessible matters more. Gate currently displays both products using estimated APR rather than APY.

A Gate contract position voucher is a contract voucher type on Gate that lets a user open an experience position with platform-provided margin under defined trading rules. According to Gate Help Center documentation, the voucher belongs to the platform’s voucher system, works only in designated USDT-margined contract markets, and is governed by conditions such as isolated margin mode, fixed leverage settings, validity periods, and position limits.
