Gate Shatters Web3 Barriers with New Gate Layer: Lightning Transactions at Fraction of Current Costs

Gate just dropped the ultimate scalability bomb on Web3 infrastructure.

The newly unveiled Gate Layer promises to vaporize blockchain's twin demons: sluggish transaction speeds and wallet-draining fees. This isn't just an upgrade—it's a complete architectural overhaul designed for mass adoption.

Speed Demon Architecture

Forget waiting minutes for confirmations. Gate Layer's optimized consensus mechanism processes transactions near-instantly, making traditional blockchains look like dial-up internet. The platform achieves this while maintaining ironclad security—no trilemma compromises here.

Fee Annihilation Protocol

Gas fees become practically negligible. The Layer implements advanced compression techniques and batch processing that slash costs to microscopic levels. Finally, microtransactions and complex DeFi operations won't require taking out a second mortgage.

While traditional finance still debates whether blockchain is a fad, Gate actually builds the infrastructure that makes legacy systems obsolete. The timing couldn't be more perfect—just as Wall Street tries to patent their slow-motion version of distributed ledgers. Gate Layer doesn't just join the scalability race; it might have already finished it.

• Gate officially launched its Layer 2 network, Gate Layer, with full EVM compatibility.
• GT token strengthened with deflationary mechanisms, with over 60.18% already burned.
• Ecosystem growth strategy includes a DeFi trading hub, project incubator, and meme token platform.

Crypto exchange Gate has rolled out its new LAYER 2 network, Gate Layer, alongside a major update to its GT tokenomics. The launch represents a significant step in Gate’s push toward faster, more cost-efficient blockchain adoption.

Gate officially launches its high-performance Layer 2 network, Gate Layer — with "All in Web3" leading a comprehensive upgrade of the GT ecosystem!

Built on the OP Stack and backed by GateChain as the settlement layer, Gate Layer is fully compatible with the ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it easy for developers and users to transition without technical hurdles.

Gate Layer is designed to solve persistent challenges in blockchain use, such as high gas fees and transaction delays. It can process over 5,700 transactions per second with a block time of just one second, outperforming traditional Layer 1 chains.

Transaction fees are among the lowest in the industry, with one million transfers costing under $30, compared to nearly $700 on Base and around $1,000 on Solana. The network also integrates with LayerZero for seamless cross-chain transfers across Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon.

Gate Layer Launches Under “All in Web3” Vision

Gate Layer’s release aligns with Gate’s “All in Web3” vision, and it focuses on developing a complete digital asset ecosystem. There will be three flagship products released on the network. Perp, as a perpetual futures trading hub, will use the high speed and liquidity of Gate Layer to support seamless exchange-like trading.

Gate Fun, a token release platform, will help small projects and artists take tokens to market without requiring large development teams or budgets. Meme Go will act as a real-time tracking and trading hub for meme tokens and will support instant transactions across large blockchains.

With these offerings, Gate aims to enable the whole lifecycle of activity by users from minting tokens to advanced trading. With lower barrier levels to entry, it aims to target not only developers but also casual users.

GT Tokenomics Upgrade Strengthens Value

Apart from the Gate Layer, the GT token has now been made the centerpiece of the ecosystem. All on-chain activity throughout the network will utilize GT as the single gas token, greatly enhancing its usage.

The token continues to operate with a double deflationary system of programmed burns and in-chain burns. With the release of the mainnet back in 2019, Gate has irrevocably burned over 180.5 million GT, which amounts to more than 60.18% of its original circulation.
