#GateWeb3UpgradestoGateDEX

As of January 2026, Gate Web3 has officially completed its rebranding and structural upgrade, becoming Gate DEX.
This is not just a name change; it represents a strategic shift towards combining the convenience of centralized exchanges(CEXs) with the dominance of decentralized finance(DeFi). Here is a summary of what this upgrade means for you:
🚀 Main Features of Gate DEX
The “All in Web3” strategy brings several major improvements, making decentralized trading no longer intimidating:
Frictionless Entry: You can now log in using your existing Gate account combined with a traditional wallet(Gate Wallet). This effectively removes the “barrier” for new users in on-chain trading.
Spot and Swap: Achieve high liquidity cross-chain token swaps in real-time.
Derivatives(Gate Perp DEX): High-performance perpetual contracts built on Gate Layer (Layer 2 network), offering up to 125x leverage, supporting major assets like BTC and ETH.
Performance: Powered by OP Stack(, Gate Layer infrastructure enables TPS over 5700, a block time of 1 second, and gas fees far lower than the Ethereum mainnet.
Security: Every transaction is recorded on-chain, but the platform uses audited smart contracts and an “Vault” auto-balancing mechanism to protect assets.
Current Incentives
To celebrate the launch, Gate DEX is hosting the “On-Chain All-Round Challenge”), usually lasting until early February 2026(.
First Trade Rewards: Users who complete their first swap, spot, or futures trade can unlock cash rewards)up to 100 USDT(.
Gas Subsidy: Some promotions include a 100% refund of Gas fees for first orders through the Gate App.
Note: Even when using “One-Click Login,” remember that when trading on the DEX, you are usually interacting with self-custodied elements. If you create a new decentralized wallet through the platform, be sure to back up your mnemonic phrase.
