KAIA is the native token of the Kaia network, created through the gradual integration of Klaytn’s KLAY and Finschia’s FNSA after the network merger. This conversion involves more than a change in token name. It also includes the integration of governance systems, validator structures, and ecosystem resources. KLAY and FNSA holders can complete the asset conversion through the official migration mechanism, while Kaia uses a unified network and token system to further support stablecoin payments, Mini DApps, and the growth of Asia’s Web3 ecosystem.

Osmosis connects Cosmos ecosystem chains through the IBC protocol and completes cross-chain asset transfers, path matching, and Swap execution within its AMM liquidity pools.

The OSMO Token is the core utility token in the Osmosis ecosystem. It is mainly used for protocol governance, network staking, liquidity incentives, and the Superfluid Staking mechanism.

As the Cosmos ecosystem continues to expand, cross-chain liquidity and interchain asset trading have become important directions in DeFi. Compared with traditional DEXs that mainly operate on a single blockchain, Osmosis places greater emphasis on cross-chain asset swaps and customizable liquidity mechanisms.

CVX is the native governance token of Convex Finance and the core incentive asset within the entire Convex yield aggregation system. As a yield optimization protocol built around Curve Finance, Convex not only helps users improve Curve LP yields, but also redistributes governance power and liquidity incentives within the Curve ecosystem through its veCRV aggregation mechanism.

Convex Finance (CVX) is a yield optimization protocol built around Curve Finance. It mainly helps users improve liquidity mining returns and capital efficiency by aggregating veCRV, managing Curve Boost rights in a unified way, and automating reward distribution.

Pyth Network is a decentralized oracle network focused on delivering real-time financial market data to blockchain protocols. It sources high-frequency price data directly from exchanges, market makers, and financial institutions, then distributes that data across multiple blockchains to support DeFi, derivatives, and lending protocols with low-latency updates. Since on-chain applications cannot directly access off-chain market data, oracle networks act as a bridge between real-world information and blockchain systems. Pyth Network improves data efficiency and reduces on-chain costs through its first-party data provider model and Pull Oracle mechanism.

Gate TradFi is a comprehensive trading section built by Gate. It brings together three core trading models: CFD contracts, perpetual contracts, and spot tokens. Through a unified entry point and a multi asset framework, users can allocate capital and switch strategies more flexibly across different markets.

A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is a financial derivative settled based on the price difference of an underlying asset. Users do not need to actually hold the underlying asset itself. Instead, they can participate in the market by judging whether the price will rise or fall. For this reason, the core logic of CFDs is not the transfer of asset ownership, but trading price movements.

Sei (SEI) is a Layer 1 blockchain that supports parallelized EVM execution. It is designed to improve the throughput and real-time interaction capabilities of on-chain applications through a low-latency consensus mechanism and high-performance execution architecture. As DeFi, blockchain games, and high-frequency trading applications continue to develop, Sei is widely used in scenarios that require fast confirmation and low-cost execution.

Parallelized EVM is an EVM architecture that allows non-conflicting transactions to execute simultaneously. Its goal is to break through the performance limits of the traditional sequential execution model while improving blockchain throughput and real-time interaction capabilities. As DeFi, blockchain games, and high-frequency on-chain applications continue to develop, parallel execution is becoming an important optimization direction for high-performance public blockchains.

Sei and Solana are both Layer 1 public blockchains designed for high throughput and low latency, but they differ clearly in their technical architecture and ecosystem strategy. Solana uses an independent runtime environment and a parallel execution structure, while Sei focuses on Parallelized EVM and Ethereum compatibility. Solana places greater emphasis on a native high-performance architecture, improving network throughput through the Sealevel parallel execution model and Proof of History. Sei, meanwhile, aims to improve on-chain execution efficiency through Parallelized EVM, Twin-Turbo Consensus, and optimized state management, while maintaining compatibility with Solidity and the EVM toolchain.

Ripple’s core operations rely on its underlying decentralized ledger, the XRP Ledger (XRPL)—an open-source blockchain architecture specifically designed for financial settlement. Unlike Bitcoin’s PoW or Ethereum’s PoS, XRPL utilizes the unique Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA). Through a selected set of validator nodes, the network reaches agreement on transaction ordering within seconds, achieving ultra-fast settlement speeds and minimal energy consumption.

GAS (NeoGas) is the native fuel token of the Neo network. It is mainly used to pay for on-chain transactions, smart contract execution, and network resource consumption. Unlike many single-token public blockchains, Neo uses a dual-token structure consisting of NEO and GAS. NEO is responsible for governance, while GAS serves as the payment asset for network operations and resource usage.
