GATE LAUNCHPOOL: THREE MAJOR POOLS, MULTIPLE WAYS TO EARN WHILE HOLDING
Gate continues to show why a modern crypto platform can be much more than a place to buy and sell assets. The Launchpool campaigns around FOLD, LAPTOP and XAUT demonstrate three different reward structures, different eligible staking assets and different APR profiles. Instead of forcing every user into one identical strategy, Gate gives users multiple routes to participate in new-token distributions while keeping eligible assets in their accounts.
One accuracy update: Gate’s official information showed four Launchpool projects underway by October 1, 2026, so this post focuses specifically on the three major campaigns highlighted here: FOLD, LAPTOP and XAUT. The goal is to explain these three opportunities with current, verified figures rather than repeat an outdated campaign count.
WHY GATE LAUNCHPOOL STANDS OUT
Depending on the campaign rules, users can stake eligible assets such as BTC, ETH, GT, USDT, XAUT or the reward token itself and receive distributions while maintaining their position in the staked asset.
That creates a different experience from buying a new token after it has already started trading. Gate places the distribution mechanism inside its wider exchange ecosystem, with reward allocations, staking assets, campaign dates, limits and distribution rules presented together.
The three highlighted campaigns show the variety clearly. FOLD emphasizes a high displayed APR on its native pool. LAPTOP emphasizes a large token reward allocation and multiple staking routes. XAUT brings a gold-linked digital asset into the Launchpool structure through USDT, GT and XAUT pools.
FOLD — THE HIGH-APR CAMPAIGN
Gate reported total FOLD rewards of 2,029,221 tokens. The campaign uses FOLD, ETH and BTC pools. The displayed APR figures reported by Gate were approximately 590.76% for the FOLD pool, 3.61% for ETH and 2.49% for BTC.
The 590.76% figure is the headline number, but it must be understood correctly: displayed APR is an annualized rate that can change and is not a guaranteed return for the whole campaign. Reward distribution, pool participation, token price and remaining campaign time can all affect the final result.
Gate also listed FOLD/USDT for spot trading on September 13. Interfold describes its technology as enabling multiple parties to collaborate on computation while keeping inputs private and making results verifiable.
The important point is flexibility.
Users with BTC or ETH can potentially participate without first converting everything into FOLD, while eligible FOLD holders have another staking route.
LAPTOP — MILLION-TOKEN REWARD STRUCTURE
LAPTOP adds another major attraction: 1,289,608 LAPTOP tokens were allocated as total rewards, with BTC and LAPTOP pools. Gate reported displayed APR figures of approximately 263.05% for the LAPTOP pool and 2.39% for the BTC pool.
The campaign distributes more than 1.28 million tokens. This gives users another structure to evaluate beyond a single headline APR: the number of tokens available, the eligible staking asset, the campaign duration and the market price of the reward token all matter.
Recent market data around October 2–3 placed LAPTOP around $0.08, while another market observation recorded Gate spot near $0.0738. This illustrates an important point: the token quantity received can remain unchanged while the dollar value of the reward moves substantially as the market price changes.
Gate’s Launchpool model makes this information easier to evaluate because users can consider the reward pool, APR, staking asset and market price together.
XAUT — GOLD-LINKED PARTICIPATION
XAUT brings a completely different asset profile into Launchpool. Gate Launchpool project #379 allows users to stake USDT, GT or XAUT and share 34 XAUT in total rewards.
Gate’s official announcement states that the mining period runs from September 25, 2026 at 12:00 UTC through October 10, 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Rewards are distributed hourly and the campaign uses a 100% unlock structure.
The allocation is clear: 18 XAUT for the USDT pool, 8 XAUT for the GT pool and 8 XAUT for the XAUT pool. Gate reported displayed APR figures of approximately 3.35% for USDT, 6.38% for GT and 12.45% for XAUT.
The campaign also shows Gate’s attention to detail. The official rules specify minimum and maximum staking amounts, hourly reward pools and user reward limits. The USDT pool has a 0.1 USDT minimum, the GT pool has a 0.01 GT minimum and the XAUT pool has a 0.00003 XAUT minimum, subject to the campaign rules and limits.
Gate also explains that USDT and GT staking caps can depend on the user’s 60-day trading volume. This type of information helps participants understand the mechanics before they stake.
THE THREE CAMPAIGNS IN NUMBERS
FOLD: 2,029,221 FOLD total rewards. Displayed APRs reported by Gate: about 590.76% on FOLD, 3.61% on ETH and 2.49% on BTC.
LAPTOP: 1,289,608 LAPTOP total rewards. Displayed APRs reported by Gate: about 263.05% on LAPTOP and 2.39% on BTC.
XAUT: 34 XAUT total rewards. Allocation: 18 XAUT to USDT, 8 XAUT to GT and 8 XAUT to XAUT. Displayed APRs reported by Gate: about 3.35% on USDT, 6.38% on GT and 12.45% on XAUT.
The contrast is powerful. FOLD offers the largest displayed APR among these three campaigns, LAPTOP offers the largest token-count reward pool, and XAUT offers a gold-linked structure with three staking assets.
GT DESERVES SPECIAL ATTENTION
GT is an important part of the Gate ecosystem because it connects platform utility with multiple Gate products. On October 3, 2026, Gate’s own price page showed GT around $10.91, with a 24-hour range of approximately $10.81–$11.31, a 24-hour change of about -0.18%, 24-hour trading volume near $828,900 and market capitalization around $1.16 billion.
These numbers put the Launchpool discussion into real market context. A displayed 6.38% APR on the XAUT GT pool does not exist independently of GT’s market price. If GT moves higher or lower, the market value of the staked position changes.
That is why Gate’s ecosystem approach is valuable: users can see GT not only as a token but as an asset with utility across the platform.
THREE POOLS, THREE DIFFERENT IDEAS
FOLD represents the high-APR side of the highlighted lineup. The reported 590.76% displayed APR on the FOLD pool is the headline figure, while BTC and ETH routes were reported at 2.49% and 3.61%.
LAPTOP represents the large-token-allocation side. Its 1,289,608 LAPTOP reward pool and reported 263.05% displayed APR on the LAPTOP pool make it structurally different from FOLD.
XAUT represents the gold-linked side. Its 34 XAUT reward pool, 12.45% displayed APR on XAUT, 6.38% on GT and 3.35% on USDT give users several routes with a different asset profile.
Gate deserves credit for putting these different structures into one ecosystem.
FINAL VIEW
Three major Gate Launchpool campaigns — FOLD, LAPTOP and XAUT — show three different sides of the same ecosystem: high displayed APR, large token distribution and gold-linked participation.
FOLD: 2,029,221 total rewards, with reported displayed APRs of 590.76% FOLD, 3.61% ETH and 2.49% BTC.
LAPTOP: 1,289,608 total rewards, with reported displayed APRs of 263.05% LAPTOP and 2.39% BTC.
XAUT: 34 total rewards, with 18 XAUT allocated to USDT, 8 XAUT to GT and 8 XAUT to XAUT; reported displayed APRs of 3.35%, 6.38% and 12.45%.
GT was around $10.91 on October 3, with a $10.81–$11.31 24-hour range, about -0.18% daily movement, approximately $828,900 in 24-hour volume and roughly $1.16 billion market capitalization according to Gate’s price page.
APR can change. Token prices can change. Liquidity can change. Reward value can change. The right choice depends on each user’s assets, objectives and risk tolerance.
For me, the biggest Gate advantage is the infrastructure behind these opportunities. Gate brings trading, staking, Launchpool rewards, GT utility, market access and community discussion into one broad ecosystem. That makes the platform much more than a simple exchange interface.
If you hold BTC, ETH, GT, USDT, XAUT or an eligible Launchpool token, check the current official pool rules before participating. Review the live APR, reward allocation, price, limits, campaign dates and distribution mechanism because these figures can change.
Gate Launchpool is a strong example of how Gate continues to turn new-token launches into structured and accessible opportunities. FOLD, LAPTOP and XAUT are different, but together they highlight a major Gate strength: more choice, more product variety and more ways to use eligible assets within the Gate ecosystem.
Gate keeps the focus on choice, structure and useful market information. Join Gate Square with #3LaunchpoolsLiveMillionDollarAirdrop and share your Launchpool experience, staking approach or thoughts on the three campaigns.
