Gate Alpha Comprehensive Strategic Upgrade, Building a Smart Entry and Risk Shield for the Meme Market

The original MemeBox has been upgraded to the brand new platform Gate Alpha, focusing on addressing three core pain points in Meme investment—information delay, operational thresholds, and risk identification. Through AI-driven project screening, the platform realizes a quick trading process within 1-2 hours, without the need for wallet management, enabling one-click trading with USDT. At the same time, intelligent security scanning and liquidity analysis mechanisms enhance user protection, making Gate Alpha an intelligent entry point and risk protection hub in the Meme market. During May, the number of projects launched on Gate Alpha has reached hundreds, with a cumulative airdrop reward of one million dollars and trading volume exceeding several billion dollars, demonstrating the continuous rise in sector heat, with the Alpha platform performing impressively in user activity and capital attraction.

Gate continues to advance the GT deflationary mechanism. In May 2025, the platform completed the destruction of 1,542,910.7518074 GT for the first quarter of 2025, with a destruction value of approximately $33.8452 million.

As of now, the total amount of GT destroyed has reached 178,632,323, accounting for approximately 59.54% of the initial total issuance, with a cumulative destruction value of about $3.92 billion.

GT, as the core asset of the Gate platform ecosystem, has implemented an active deflationary mechanism since the launch of the GateChain mainnet in 2019, effectively compressing supply and enhancing the quality of the token through high-frequency burns. The continuous and predictable burning system, combined with GT's strong empowerment in various scenarios such as ecological rights, platform services, and product usage, further solidifies its value foundation and mid- to long-term growth logic. Gate will continue to firmly execute the established burning plan under compliance, promoting the simultaneous enhancement of GT's scarcity and ecological influence.
