#ThreeLaunchpoolsLiveSimultaneously
Three Gate Launchpools Are Running at Once — A Closer Look at FOLD, LAPTOP and XAUT
What if the crypto you are already holding could generate something extra without requiring you to sell it?
That is the idea behind Gate’s three simultaneously running Launchpool campaigns. BTC, ETH, USDT, GT and other eligible assets can be put to work through different pools, with rewards distributed automatically every hour. Across the three current campaigns, the combined reward value is roughly $375,000 at the quoted market prices.
For holders who prefer earning opportunities that do not require constantly trading the market, Launchpool offers a straightforward model: stake eligible assets, receive allocations of a new token, and keep track of the rewards accumulating in your Spot account.
And right now, the three campaigns are very different from one another.
1. Interfold — $FOLD
The first opportunity is Interfold ($FOLD), a privacy-focused infrastructure project.
FOLD is trading around $0.06413, with a reported 24-hour decline of approximately 4.1%. Its market capitalization is around $81.7 million, while the recent 24-hour trading range has been approximately $0.06273–$0.07199.
Gate’s Launchpool is distributing approximately 2,029,221 FOLD tokens, representing around $128,000 based on the quoted price.
Eligible users can stake BTC, ETH, or FOLD to participate.
The important detail here is timing: this Launchpool is scheduled to conclude today, meaning the participation window is much shorter than the other two campaigns.
For anyone interested in FOLD, the limited remaining timeframe is therefore one of the most important things to check before participating.
2. Hunter Biden's Laptop — $LAPTOP
The second campaign takes us into the meme-coin sector with Hunter Biden's Laptop ($LAPTOP), a Base-network meme token.
The token is currently around $0.08040, showing an approximate 3.44% 24-hour decline, with a market capitalization near $81.8 million. Its recent trading range has been approximately $0.08008–$0.08380.
The Launchpool is distributing around 1,289,608 LAPTOP tokens, worth approximately $103,500 at the quoted market price.
Participants can stake BTC or LAPTOP to earn rewards.
Unlike FOLD, this campaign provides a longer participation window and is scheduled to continue until October 9.
As with any meme asset, the market can move quickly, so the reward value should not be treated as fixed. The token price can change significantly while the campaign is running.
3. Tether Gold — $XAUT
The third Launchpool is particularly interesting because it is fundamentally different from the first two.
Tether Gold ($XAUT) is designed to represent gold exposure rather than functioning as a typical speculative crypto project.
XAUT is currently around $4,197.10, with an approximate 1.95% 24-hour decline and a market capitalization of roughly $3.03 billion. Its recent 24-hour range has been around $4,195–$4,291.
Gate is distributing approximately 34 XAUT through this Launchpool.
At the quoted price, that represents roughly $142,800 in total rewards.
Eligible users can stake USDT, GT, or XAUT, giving stablecoin and GT holders another way to participate.
The campaign is scheduled to run until October 10.
One Platform, Three Different Opportunities
This is what makes the current setup particularly interesting.
The three Launchpools represent completely different market categories:
$FOLD → privacy and blockchain infrastructure
$LAPTOP → Base ecosystem meme coin
$XAUT → gold-backed digital asset
Together, their quoted reward value comes to approximately $375,000.
Eligible users can also participate in multiple pools simultaneously when they hold the required assets. For example, someone holding BTC and USDT could potentially participate in different campaigns rather than limiting themselves to a single pool.
That creates a more flexible approach to Launchpool participation.
How the Process Works
The basic process is simple.
Open your Gate account, complete the required verification, go to Earn → Launchpool, select an available campaign, choose an eligible asset, and confirm the amount you want to stake.
Rewards are distributed hourly, according to the campaign rules and your eligible staking amount.
Another important point is that staking conditions can vary between campaigns. Some pools have specific eligibility requirements, limits, trading-volume conditions, or staking caps. In particular, certain BTC, USDT and GT pools may use 60-day Gate trading volume when determining staking limits and eligibility.
So before participating, it is important to read the individual campaign rules rather than assuming every Launchpool works exactly the same way.
My Take
What stands out to me is the variety.
One campaign focuses on infrastructure. Another targets the highly speculative meme sector. The third connects crypto earning activity with a gold-backed asset.
That gives different types of Gate users different ways to explore Launchpool without relying on a single market narrative.
Still, the reward figures are based on current token prices and can change. Newer crypto assets can also experience significant volatility, so the value of the rewards is not guaranteed.
For me, the biggest attraction is the simplicity: instead of leaving eligible assets completely idle, Launchpool can provide an additional earning mechanism while maintaining exposure to the underlying asset according to the campaign's rules.
If you are exploring Gate’s current earning opportunities, these three Launchpools are definitely worth checking before their respective deadlines.
