Gate Layer launches Swap gas-free exchange feature to create a smoother on-chain trading experience

Core Architecture of Gate Layer

Gate Layer adopts the OP Stack technology system and uses Gate Chain as the underlying settlement layer. The combination of the two maintains security while ensuring flexibility. This architecture allows developers to seamlessly port existing Ethereum applications, saving time and costs associated with redeployment.

Technical highlights include:

• Full EVM Compatibility: Supports Ethereum tools and smart contracts, enabling seamless development environments.

• Dual-layer Protection Mechanism: Combines Gate Chain consensus with GT staking protection to enhance security resilience.

• Ultra-fast Block Production and High TPS: Average block time of about 1 second, peak throughput up to 5,700 TPS.

• Extremely Low Transaction Costs: Gas fees are far lower than most Layer 2 networks.

• Cross-chain Interoperability: Supports LayerZero protocol, enabling interoperability with chains like ETH, BSC, Polygon, and others.

These features make Gate Layer a platform that balances performance, cost-efficiency, and development convenience, making it the preferred deployment environment for many Web3 projects.

Gate Layer Launches Gas-Free Swap Functionality

As a high-performance Layer 2 network independently developed by Gate, Gate Layer now fully supports gas-free swaps. When the native asset in the wallet (such as GT) is insufficient, the system automatically deducts Gas fees using a payment token, allowing users to complete transactions without needing to prepare native tokens.

Traditional swap operations rely on native tokens to pay Gas, and insufficient balances often cause transaction failures. Now, on Gate Layer, simply select the token and confirm the transaction. If gas-free mode is enabled, the system will prompt and automatically deduct fees from the payment token, effective only upon successful transaction. After completion, users can view detailed deduction records in their transaction history.

Currently, this feature is limited to Gate Layer, with plans to expand to more networks in the future. This significantly simplifies the user experience, reduces barriers caused by Gas costs, and makes on-chain operations more efficient and smooth. Gate also commits to ongoing optimization to create a more convenient decentralized trading environment.

Launch of Gate Swap Liquidity Pools

Gate Swap, the decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol on Gate Layer, officially launches liquidity pools, providing more efficient on-chain trading and liquidity support for the ecosystem. Users can freely provide funds for any token pair (e.g., GT/USDT), become liquidity providers (LPs), and earn a share of trading fees proportional to their pool share. All fees are 100% returned to liquidity providers, with no additional profit taken by the platform, allowing participants to share in the ecosystem’s growth.

Gate Swap also supports creating new liquidity pools. Users only need to select token pairs, set initial prices, and authorize the operation to establish a new trading pair. LP tokens serve as proof of stake and can be redeemed at any time to withdraw funds, offering flexible entry and exit. While large market fluctuations may cause impermanent loss, long-term trading fees and ecosystem incentives are expected to offset this risk.

Gate Layer’s foundational liquidity infrastructure enters a new phase. Whether for general users or DeFi enthusiasts, providing liquidity offers earning opportunities and promotes asset circulation, value growth, and innovative applications within Gate Layer, injecting stronger financial vitality into the ecosystem.

Building a Diverse Ecosystem

Gate Layer is not just a technical platform but is gradually forming a comprehensive application ecosystem covering trading, creation, community interaction, and more. Existing applications include:

• Perp DEX: An efficient perpetual contract trading platform with low slippage and instant matching.

• Gate Fun: A no-code tool enabling anyone to easily issue tokens and build community economies.

• Meme Go: A cross-chain Meme coin market tracking platform providing real-time analysis and trend monitoring.

These native applications demonstrate Gate Layer’s ecosystem expansion potential and help developers better understand its capabilities.

Driving the Entire System with GT Token

GateToken (GT) has entered a new phase, evolving from merely an exchange token to the economic engine of the Gate Layer ecosystem. Core functions of GT include:

1. On-chain transaction medium: Used for deploying smart contracts, NFT trading, cross-chain operations, and more.

2. Dual deflationary design:

• Burn mechanism: Over 60% of the total supply has been permanently burned by Q2 2025.

• EIP-1559 mode: Automatically burns part of transaction fees, enhancing scarcity and stable value.

This token design ensures GT’s practicality in ecosystem operations and long-term value potential.

Summary

Gate Layer is not only a Layer 2 technology but also a comprehensive infrastructure solution designed to upgrade the Web3 ecosystem. It balances efficiency, security, and economic viability, lowering barriers for developers and users to participate in on-chain innovation. As the GT token economy deepens and the application ecosystem expands, Gate Layer is steadily becoming an indispensable node in the Web3 world, driving a faster and more robust decentralized future.
