GateChain

GateChain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 launched within the Gate ecosystem, with the native token GT, providing high-performance, low-latency infrastructure for decentralized applications and digital asset flows. Its core is the GateMint consensus, which achieves transaction finality through instant block confirmation, eliminating rollbacks and uncertainty, and, combined with an average transaction cost the chain discloses as below $0.002, lowers the barrier for developers and users; EVM compatibility lets existing Ethereum applications migrate and deploy cheaply, and instant confirmation supports high-frequency interaction patterns.

The ecosystem closes the loop around GT: staking GT secures the network and earns rewards, GateScan provides on-chain exploration, and wallet plus cross-chain swap modules cover deposits, withdrawals and multi-chain transfers, while GT also serves as the platform token of the Gate centralized exchange for fee discounts and other ecosystem benefits. The mainnet keeps a dense upgrade cadence, completing v17 and v18 in August 2025 and v19 and v20 on September 15, 2025, with work focused on block production performance, consensus stability and node operations.
