Zhima Kaimen? How the “Sesame Open” Token Became a Hit on Gate Fun

The charm behind the name “Gate”

The word “Gate” itself has a sense of mystery in Chinese - it originates from the classic incantation in “One Thousand and One Nights,” meaning “the door opens, the secret door appears.” Using this classic incantation as the name for a meme coin, on one hand, lowers the threshold for understanding, and on the other hand, carries inherent传播属性: memorable, interesting, and easy to share on social media.

In a Chinese environment, using a resonant word like this as a Token name is likely to arouse users’ curiosity and desire to share more easily. Compared to cold strings of letters or English codes, “Gate” has a natural communicative tension.

Therefore, this name itself constitutes a preliminary marketing strategy. Coupled with the resources provided by the Gate platform, “Gate” has the potential to quickly become a topic in the community.

Overview of Gate Fun Platform Highlights

Gate Fun is a no-code token issuance platform launched by Gate on the Gate Layer, where users can create tokens in just a few minutes without programming skills, similar to platforms in the style of Pump.fun.

This issuance method has a very low threshold, and with the existing user base and traffic access of the Gate platform, new tokens can be easily exposed and traded.

Gate Fun is simultaneously linked with other Gate products (Gate Alpha, Meme Go, Swap, etc.). This way, tokens can not only be issued on the Fun platform but also circulate within the Gate ecosystem.

In addition, Gate Fun organizes activities such as meme creativity/trading competitions to attract project parties and community participation with a prize pool (for example, there are currently over 1003 projects registered to participate).

These characteristics give meme coins like “Gate” a natural driving force in terms of platform exposure and community dissemination.

Analysis of Coin Price Surge: What Factors Are Driving It?

• Scarcity / Low initial liquidity: During the initial issuance phase, the circulating Token supply may be very limited, with concentrated buying demand, which can easily amplify price fluctuations in a short period.
• Platform Airdrop Incentive: Gate has set a purchase threshold + airdrop reward mechanism for Gate - accumulating a certain amount of purchases allows participation in the GT airdrop distribution. This incentive mechanism will create speculative demand.
• Platform traffic and exposure: Showcased in Gate’s Alpha trading module, Gate Fun homepage, and community announcements, it allows many users to see this coin, thereby creating a linkage for buying.
• Community Expectations and FOMO Effect: When users see a certain Token experiencing remarkable short-term gains, many join out of fear of missing out (FOMO), thereby further driving up the price.
• Hotspot-driven / Media Promotion: Media reporting, KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), and social media dissemination will further amplify attention.

So considering these factors, “Gate” can be seen and participated in by the market in a very short time, leading to a surge. However, this surge is mostly speculative in nature and does not represent long-term value support.

Potential Risks and Pitfalls

• Risk of Price Collapse: After a bull market, there may be situations of “dumping / sharp decline.”
• Coin source release / unlocking pressure: If there are team coins, reserved coins, or subsequent release mechanisms, it may lead to selling by those who are trapped.
• Activity Rules Adjustment / Platform Intervention: Gate may modify the airdrop rules, risk control mechanisms, or even delist the coin at any time.
• Liquidity risk: If the trading depth is shallow, some large transactions may severely impact the price.
• Project team is not transparent / may have no follow-up: For meme coins, many tokens lack continuous development or business support.
• Regulatory and policy risks: Some countries or regions may start to impose stricter regulations on meme coins, airdrops, and trading platforms, which could affect trading or circulation in extreme cases.

Beginner’s Guide: How to Participate Safely

• Start with a small amount: Do not invest too much capital, start with a small amount for experiential participation.
• Set take profit / stop loss points: preset the exit points for floating profit / floating loss at the time of entry.
• Activity Announcement Tracking: Keep a close eye on announcements from Gate / Gate Fun, community notices, and changes to airdrop rules.
• Buy in batches / Exit in batches: Avoid buying or selling all at once; segmented operations can control risks.
• Be mentally prepared: accept the possibility that meme coins may go to zero or experience severe fluctuations.
• Diversified allocation: Do not put all your funds into high-risk projects like this; it is best to allocate it as a small part of your overall asset portfolio.
