Gate Layer: Powering Web3 Infrastructure with High Efficiency and Low Cost

Entering the Era of Next-Generation Web3 Infrastructure

As Web3 steadily moves toward mainstream adoption, high performance and low transaction costs have become essential to driving sustained industry growth. Responding to these market needs, Gate has introduced the all-new Gate Layer, blending Layer 2 scaling solutions with an upgraded GT token economy. This infrastructure offers stability, security, and economic efficiency, empowering developers and users to fully embrace a decentralized future.

EVM Compatibility and Dual-Layer Security Architecture

Gate Layer utilizes the OP Stack architecture and designates Gate Chain as its foundational settlement layer, while maintaining full EVM compatibility. This enables Ethereum ecosystem developers to seamlessly migrate existing DApps and quickly launch new initiatives within Gate’s ecosystem. Key technical highlights include:

• Robust support for EVM tools and applications: Compatible with leading development tools such as MetaMask, Remix, and Hardhat.
• Dual security protection: Integrates Gate Chain consensus and GT staking to ensure network stability and security.
• High throughput: Capable of processing 5,700 transactions per second (TPS) with an average block time of just 1 second.
• Competitive gas fees: Transaction costs are substantially lower than those of major Layer 2 networks.
• Native cross-chain integration: Powered by LayerZero, enabling seamless asset transfers across ETH, BSC, Polygon, and more.

Cost Leadership

On Gate Layer, executing 1 million transactions costs only about $30, whereas the same volume would require approximately $700 on Base, $2,000 on BSC, and $1,000 on Solana.

This significant cost benefit not only eases operational burdens for developers but also makes Web3 applications far more economically viable, unlocking new opportunities across DeFi, GameFi, RWA, and related sectors.

End-to-End Blockchain Support: From Transactions to Creation

Gate Layer goes beyond technical enhancement—it’s an open platform for innovation incubation. Gate will continue to launch diverse applications to foster ecosystem growth, including:

• Perp DEX: A decentralized perpetual contract platform focused on high liquidity and minimal slippage.
• Gate Fun: Zero-code token issuance tools, enabling creators and teams to easily launch new tokens.
• Meme Go: A cross-chain meme coin aggregator platform, tracking trending assets across multiple networks.

With these launches, Gate Layer is not just a public chain—it’s a comprehensive starting point for the Web3 ecosystem.

The Evolving Role of GT Token

With Gate Layer’s launch, the GT (GateToken) has officially advanced to become the central pillar of the entire ecosystem.

Tokenomics Highlights

1. Gas Token Usage: All on-chain actions—including smart contracts, NFTs, cross-chain bridges, and more—are paid for with GT.

2. Dual Deflationary Mechanisms:

• Scheduled Burns: Gate will burn more than 60% of the total supply by Q2 2025.
• EIP-1559 Mechanism: The base fee for every transaction is automatically burned, increasing scarcity and long-term value.

Gate Chain Upgrades and Technical Evolution

To support a broader application ecosystem, Gate Chain recently upgraded to consensus version v1.20, introducing several core functions:

• Support for EIP-4844 blob transactions, accelerating data transfer efficiency.
• Upgraded to EVM Cancun release, maintaining technical alignment with Ethereum.
• Enhanced compatibility with multiple protocols (e.g., EIP-2565, EIP-2929).
• Optimized RPC interface performance for a smoother developer experience.

Conclusion

The introduction of Gate Layer represents more than a technological upgrade. It is a pivotal milestone in Gate’s advancement into Web3 infrastructure. With faster transaction speeds, lower costs, and enhanced security and tokenomics, Gate is delivering a truly efficient, scalable, and sustainable Web3 ecosystem. As Gate Layer continues to evolve, Web3 will shift from mere theoretical concepts to a tangible platform for large-scale adoption.
