Crypto Exchange Gate has launched the door layer, a patented layer 2 layer block chain designed to increase transaction performance and reduce costs, while implementing an important update for the GT (gatetoken) ecosystem
Built in the OP stack and fully compatible with Ethereum, Gatechain is anchored by Gatechain as its settlement layer, the company said in an admitted advertisement on Wednesday.
Gate is positioning the door layer as the backbone of its “All on Web3” strategy, launching tools such as Perp, a perpetual center with liquidity at CEX level; Gate Fun, an incubator without code for Token launches; and meme go, a cross -chain tokens tracker in real time.
As part of the review, GT will serve as the exclusive gas token for the door layer, while its double burns model continues. To date, more than 180 million GT have burned, approximately 60% of the initial supply.
The Gate movement follows a growing trend of the main exchanges, including coinbase with base, launching its own layer 2 to capture more user activity in the chain. By matching the infrastructure with native tokenomic, exchanges seek to deepen liquidity, expand ecosystems and position themselves as full battery web 3 suppliers, not just exchange places.
