Gate Layer: Redefining the next-generation high-performance network infrastructure for Web3

In the rapid evolution of Web3, the speed, scalability, and security of infrastructure have become key factors in whether various applications can break through growth limits. As the number of on-chain users and volume continues to rise, the industry's demand for higher performance, lower costs, and greater composability of underlying networks has become increasingly strong. In December 2025, Gate will launch Gate Layer with a new posture: a next-generation on-chain infrastructure that combines a high-performance execution layer, strong security guarantees, and native ecological connectivity, aimed at bringing a new Web3 experience standard to global developers and users.

What is Gate Layer?

A next-generation chain designed for speed, scalability, and ecological collaboration. Gate Layer is the core infrastructure of the Gate Web3 ecosystem, built for high concurrency and high throughput application scenarios, including DeFi, derivative protocols, blockchain games, asset issuance, and Meme factories. It is not competing with “another public chain” but plays the role of an Ecosystem Accelerator, integrating the Gate trading ecosystem, asset system, on-chain tools, and development framework into a unified architecture.

You can understand Gate Layer as a:

• High-speed execution Layer
• Compatible with mainstream EVM development environment
• The expansion layer of deep native integration for Gate's product matrix
• Low-cost on-chain infrastructure for large-scale users

It is not just a blockchain, but a complete ecological foundation for building Web3 products.

Three Core Advantages of Gate Layer

1. High-Performance Execution Layer

Gate Layer adopts a new execution architecture, combining optimized transaction sorting and a low-latency node network to achieve:

• Second-level confirmation
• Large-scale TPS support
• More stable Gas costs

This means that applications such as on-chain games, Meme minting factories, and high-frequency trading applications, which were previously difficult to run smoothly on public chains, can now “run natively”.

2. Ecological Interconnection: Gate Fun, Meme Go, Perp DEX, Launchpad fully integrated

The core model of Gate Layer is to create a “unified asset network.” In the future, it will natively support on-chain:

• Meme Quick Release Tool (Meme Syncer)
• Gate Fun on-chain creation scenario
• Perp DEX perpetual contract ecosystem
• Launchpad Project Release
• on-chain points, task system

This creates a closed-loop growth system for the Gate ecosystem: from asset issuance → trading → liquidity → social diffusion → and then to quantitative strategies, all of which can be completed on Gate Layer.

3. A native chain experience with lower costs and a larger user base.

Based on the Gate global user system, Gate Layer has a natural traffic advantage.

For users, it provides:

• Lower Gas fees
• A simpler wallet experience
• One-click cross-chain, seamless asset management
• Deeply integrated with the Gate account system

For developers, it brings:

• Frictionless user acquisition
• Complete development tools and API
• Capital, marketing, liquidity support

Gate Layer creates not just a chain, but an on-chain that truly allows projects to run.

What can Gate Layer bring to Web3?

1. Let Meme, on-chain games, and creator economy accelerate again.

On-chain issuance + second-level minting + Gate Fun creation system, making the flow of content and assets enter a new level of efficiency.

The hottest memes and light games in 2025 will require:

• Rapid iteration
• High diffusion capability
• low-cost on-chain

Gate Layer is the infrastructure optimized for such high-frequency, lightweight, and explosive scenarios.

2. The new standard of crypto finance (DeFi & Derivatives)

Gate has long been deeply involved in the derivatives market.

Gate Layer will become:

• Core of the on-chain perpetual ecosystem
• on-chain contract points system execution underlying
• on-chain quantitative strategy's underlying network

Leveraging native asset liquidity, Gate Layer brings a faster, more stable, and lower-cost experience to on-chain finance compared to traditional public chains.

3. A more open and self-sustaining growth cycle on-chain.

The real value of Gate Layer is to significantly reduce the cold start costs of Web3 projects.

This chain is inherently connected:

• Traffic Entrance (Gate App)
• Creation Tool (Gate Fun)
• Financial scenarios (Perp DEX, financing)
• Community growth (tasks, points system)

Developers no longer need to build all the infrastructure from scratch. Gate Layer brings Web3 back to its essence: spending more time on products rather than complex on-chain integrations.

The Future of Gate Layer: Not Just a Chain, But an Operating System (OS) for the Ecosystem

As the Layer roadmap continues to be implemented, Gate Layer will continue to expand around three main directions in the future:

1. More powerful on-chain sovereign asset capabilities (such as GTSOL, GTETH, etc.)
2. Richer on-chain innovation scenarios (AI, blockchain games, social assets)
3. Unified global user access entry (cross-device, cross-application, cross-ecosystem)

The vision of Gate Layer is not to become the “fastest chain,” but to become the “most user-friendly and developer-friendly chain.” It is reshaping the usage threshold of Web3, the way assets flow, and the logic of application rise.
