41M Users and Web3 Expansion

Infrastructure and Ecosystem: Building a Unified Web3 Framework

In alignment with its “All in Web3” vision, Gate continues to expand its full-stack ecosystem, spanning from blockchain infrastructure to on-chain applications.

In September, several key web3 products were launched:

• Gate Layer: a high-performance Layer 2 network built on OP Stack, fully EVM-compatible, with GateChain serving as the settlement layer. Secured through GT staking, it offers low-cost, high-efficiency infrastructure for on-chain development.
• Gate Perp DEX: a decentralized perpetual exchange built on Gate Layer, featuring a high-performance matching engine that supports high concurrency and low latency, delivering a trading experience comparable to top-tier CEXs.
• Gate Fun: an on-chain launch platform focused on zero-code token creation and seamless trading, fueling the growth of the meme economy and web3 creator ecosystem.

At the same time, Gate‘s Launchpool, Launchpad, HODLer Airdrop, and CandyDrop programs continued to deliver strong results. In September, Launchpool’s total airdrop rewards surpassed $3.3 million, with staked assets up 167% MoM; HODLer Airdrop attracted over 250,000 participants, with $1.3 billion GT in snapshot value; A single Launchpad project raised up to 250 million GUSD, achieving an oversubscription rate of 23,847%; and CandyDrop launched 21 quality projects in one month, with a total reward pool exceeding $4.62 million.

Innovation and Wealth Management: Expanding User Growth Channels

Gate also introduced a private wealth management service tailored to high-net-worth clients, offering cross-border asset allocation and institutional-grade custody solutions. Its yield-generating products, such as Gate Earn, continued strong growth momentum. The Simple Earn TVL hit a new record high of $3.14 billion.

Additionally, Gates RWA-based stablecoin GUSD became a market spotlight. Within two weeks of launch, GUSD minting exceeded $120 million, with total assets under management peaking at $300 million. Its “stable yield + flexible utility” model is redefining the stablecoin landscape.

Brand and Community: Strengthening Global Presence

On the branding front, Gate enhanced its global recognition through high-profile campaigns and events. Gate hosted a VIP event at the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, bringing together industry leaders and global partners to celebrate Oracle Red Bull Racing‘s driver Max Verstappen’s championship victory.

In terms of community and cultural building, Gate Group hosted the first session of its “The Power of Now” series in Dubai, exploring the intersection of digital assets, AI, and art, further showcasing Gates commitment to fostering global innovation and creativity.

On the philanthropic side, Gate Charity visited the Cam Ly Childrens Home in Vietnam, donating educational supplies to 65 children, continuing its long-term mission of “Noticing shortages and coming with love.”

Research and Education: Building the Industrys Knowledge Engine

Gate Learn and Gate Research continued expanding their educational and research output.

In September alone, Gate Learn published over 100 original articles, covering topics such as stablecoins, DeFi, public chains, macroeconomics, AI, NFTs, and airdrops, offering comprehensive insights into market trends and sector dynamics.

Gate Research focused on market trends, on-chain data, and macro structures, publishing multiple in-depth reports, including “Ethereum Institutional Bets Reach New High, Emerging Chains Attract Capital Rapidly” and “The New Era of Stablecoins”. Together, these efforts systematically highlighted structural opportunities within the digital asset industry.

GateToken (GT) On-Chain Burn for Q3 2025

Gate has successfully completed the on-chain burn of GateToken (GT) for the third quarter of 2025. A total of 2,100,414.287861 GT, valued at approximately $35.32 million, has been permanently removed from circulation by being transferred to the designated burn address.

Since the GateChain mainnet launched in 2019, GT has implemented a continuous burn mechanism. The total supply has decreased by about 60.88% from the initial 300 million. Despite multiple market cycles, we have consistently and prudently executed the burn strategy, underscoring our long-term commitment to GTs deflationary design and laying a solid foundation for its value proposition.

Key Highlights from This Burn:

• GT burned this quarter: 2,100,414.287861
