Gate Layer: Driving Web3 infrastructure upgrades with high efficiency and low cost

Web3 Infrastructure Enters a New Era

With the rapid growth of decentralized applications (DApp), the market's demand for efficient and low-cost infrastructure is continuously increasing. In order to meet this trend, Gate has launched a new technological solution called Gate Layer. This is a new infrastructure platform that integrates Layer 2 scaling technology with GT token economics, aiming to create a high-throughput, low transaction fee, and developer-friendly Web3 ecosystem, allowing more users to easily participate in the on-chain world.

Technical Architecture

Gate Layer adopts the OP Stack technology architecture and uses Gate Chain as the underlying settlement layer, ensuring network stability and security. The system fully supports Ethereum ecosystem development tools, allowing developers to quickly deploy DApps with a very low threshold. Main technical highlights include:

• Fully EVM compatible: supports development environments such as MetaMask, Hardhat, Remix, etc.;
• Dual security protection: Combining the Gate Chain consensus mechanism with GT staking to enhance network defense capabilities;
• Ultra-fast trading performance: capable of processing 5,700 transactions per second, with a block time of only 1 second;
• Ultra-low Gas costs: Transaction fees are significantly lower than mainstream Layer 2 networks;
• Multi-chain interoperability integration: Through the LayerZero protocol, supporting asset interoperability between chains such as ETH, BSC, and Polygon.

This design makes Gate Layer not only an efficient public chain but also a technical hub for Web3 ecosystem interoperability.

Cost Advantage

Completing 1 million transactions on Gate Layer costs only about 30 USD, which has an overwhelming advantage compared to other mainstream networks:

This significant cost difference makes Gate Layer a highly cost-effective choice, not only alleviating the cost pressures on developers but also creating more economically viable opportunities for applications such as DeFi, GameFi, and RWA.

Diverse Application Scenarios

Gate Layer is not just a technological upgrade, but also an ecological incubation platform that carries innovative applications. In the future, Gate will continue to promote multiple core projects:

• Perp DEX: A decentralized perpetual contract platform with high liquidity and low slippage;
• Gate Fun: A no-code token issuance tool that allows creators to easily issue tokens;
• Meme Go: A cross-chain meme coin tracking and aggregation platform that provides insights into market trends and popularity.

The launch of these applications will make Gate Layer the ecological core of user interaction and innovative practices, driving Web3 towards a broader application layer.

Ecological Energy Core

With the launch of Gate Layer, GT (GateToken) is positioned anew. It is no longer just a functional token for the exchange, but rather the energy core of the entire Layer ecosystem. Core upgrades include:

1. Gas payment role: All on-chain operations (smart contracts, NFTs, cross-chain interactions, etc.) are paid with GT;

2. Dual Deflationary Mechanism:

• Regular destruction system: As of Q2 2025, over 60% of the total supply has been destroyed;
• EIP-1559 model: The base fee for each transaction is automatically burned, enhancing the scarcity and long-term value of GT.

This design not only gives GT token utility but also ecological value-added momentum, making it an important support point for the continuous operation of Gate Layer.

Gate Chain Upgrade

To fully support the operation of Gate Layer, Gate Chain has upgraded to consensus version v1.20, bringing multiple performance enhancements:

• Support for EIP-4844 Blob transactions, improving data transmission efficiency;
• Upgrade to EVM Cancun version to ensure compatibility with Ethereum technology;
• Compatible with multiple protocol standards (e.g., EIP-2565, EIP-2929);
• Optimize the RPC interface to provide a smoother development experience.

These updates not only enhance the underlying performance but also provide developers with a more mature development environment.

Summary

The birth of Gate Layer symbolizes Gate's official entry into a new stage of Web3 infrastructure. With outstanding trading efficiency, highly competitive cost advantages, and a deep integration with the GT economic model, Gate is building a sustainable, scalable, and developer-centric open ecosystem.
