Gate Products

Gate DexBuilder is Gate's infrastructure solution for building decentralized exchanges and prediction markets. It enables zero-code deployment, instant access to real liquidity, and full white-label branding. Partners can launch event contracts, perpetual futures, and spot trading products through a unified trading infrastructure with institutional-grade matching, clearing, and risk control.

Gate Event Contract Builder is the event-market creation layer inside the Gate DexBuilder platform. It helps operators launch event-driven markets by combining configurable contract design with shared infrastructure for matching, liquidity, settlement, and operational execution, reducing the need to build a full trading platform from scratch.

Gate API is a core part of institutional trading access for quant teams and professional users. Evaluating an API is not only about whether it can place orders. It is also about data access, monitoring, permissions, integration costs, and the stability of the full operating workflow.

Unified Account is an account structure that places capital and risk management for multiple trading products into one unified view. In the Gate ecosystem, its main value is helping professional teams reduce capital fragmentation, improve margin efficiency, and simplify cross-product operations.

Gate Institutional is Gate's service entry point for institutions, professional trading teams, and enterprise users. It brings together trading execution, Unified Account, API access, OTC, asset management, and enterprise-grade security capabilities into one institutional product matrix rather than presenting them as isolated tools.

Gate Alpha Points expiry occurs on a rolling 15-day cycle: each point automatically expires 15 days after its snapshot date instead of remaining in a permanent balance. Active Gate Alpha users can therefore see their total fall even when they have not spent points. Knowing how daily snapshots, balance points, trading volume points, expiry, and reward deductions interact helps explain why a displayed balance rises or falls from one day to the next.

Gate Pre-Market Trading lets users stake USDT to mint PreTokens and trade them before a token officially lists on Gate spot. A PreToken is a platform-bound claim on future delivery, not a withdrawable on-chain token. If the minter delivers the real tokens before settlement, holders receive the tokens; if the minter fails, forfeited collateral is distributed to holders pro-rata. The model offers early price discovery and positioning, but also carries price divergence, liquidity, and delivery-default risks.

Participating in Gate Pre-Market Trading requires KYC, available USDT, and attention to each project's minting and settlement schedule. The core flow is simple: select a project, mint PreTokens by staking USDT, trade them in the pre-market spot market, and then follow the delivery and settlement rules set for that session.

Gate Pre-Market Trading and spot trading differ mainly in what users hold and when trading begins. Pre-market users trade PreToken credentials before listing and rely on delivery-based settlement, while spot users trade the real listed token immediately with on-chain withdrawal access and deeper market liquidity.

To start Gate CrossEx, users generally apply for a CrossEx account, transfer funds into the account, create an API key with CrossEx permissions, begin trading through the API, and request a higher limit after the strategy runs stably. The workflow is designed for professional cross-exchange execution rather than casual one-click manual trading.

Gate CrossEx shared margin lets one margin balance support positions across connected exchanges, while PnL offset aggregates profits and losses at the portfolio level. The purpose is to break capital silos and improve capital efficiency for cross-exchange trading and quantitative strategies.

In crypto trading, transaction fees, capital efficiency, and service quality can have a significant impact on users’ overall trading experience. While fees may seem minor for occasional traders, they can become a major cost factor for high-frequency traders, large-scale investors, and professional users.

Gate CrossEx differs from a single-exchange trading account because it uses a unified cross-exchange account, shared margin, PnL aggregation, and centralized risk control across connected venues. A single-exchange account usually follows one platform's native rules, margin model, and APIs.

In financial markets, investors usually focus on whether an asset price will rise or fall. However, market risk is not only reflected in price direction. Even when traders cannot determine whether BTC or ETH will move higher or lower, they can still analyze market uncertainty by observing expected volatility.

Gate Pre-IPOs Moonshot AI (KIMI) is a pre-listing asset-certificate offering on Gate built as a Mirror Note rather than actual Moonshot AI stock. The product is designed to mirror the company's pre-IPO and post-listing valuation path through a dedicated subscription and secondary-market mechanism, with separate USDT and GUSD pools, allocation weighting by locked-fund time, and explicit refund and risk rules.
