Gate rolls out a new L2 network called Gate Layer

Crypto exchange ￰0￱ has launched Gate Layer, a layer two blockchain network built on top of the OP stack and secured by ￰1￱ native token for the ecosystem, Gate Token (GT), has also been upgraded to address the costs and inefficiencies of existing blockchain ￰2￱ Gate Layer is built on top of the OP Stack and uses GateChain as its settlement ￰3￱ L2 network is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling developers to migrate decentralized applications with access via tools like ￰4￱ latest launch has been positioned as the foundation of Gate’s “All in Web3” strategy, which, according to the exchange, provides a comprehensive on-chain environment for ￰5￱ Layer handles more than 5,700 transactions per second Gate exchange confirmed that the Layer 2 network launched today can handle more than 5,700 transactions per second with block times of 1 second, allowing for higher throughputs than most L1 ￰6￱ network can also process one million transfers at a cheaper cost of less than $30 compared to roughly $700 on Base, $2,000 on BNB chain, and $1,000 on ￰7￱ officially launches its high-performance Layer 2 network, Gate Layer — with "All in Web3" leading a comprehensive upgrade of the GT ecosystem!

Backed by GT staking, Gate Layer delivers the perfect balance of performance and security: 🔹 Supports 5,700+ TPS with 1-second… ￰8￱ — GateLayer (@gatechain_io) September 25, 2025 The exchange platform also features the network’s interoperability, integrating the LayerZero protocol to enable asset transfers across Ethereum, Polygon, BNB chain, Solana , and other blockchain ￰9￱ firm added that it incorporates a dual security mechanism, meaning GateChain operates as the settlement ￰10￱ the same time, GT staking supports consensus and reduces the risk of single points of ￰11￱ line with the network launch, the crypto exchange platform has rolled out several products, including Perp, Gate Fun, and Meme ￰12￱ has been designed to operate as the perpetual futures trading hub with more liquidity and higher execution ￰13￱ aims to replicate the smooth experience of centralized systems in decentralized ￰14￱ Fun has been introduced as an incubator for small and medium-sized ￰15￱ allows developers to issue tokens and build liquidity at much lower costs with a no-code ￰16￱ the other hand, Meme Go has been designed as a monitoring and trading tool for meme ￰17￱ supports multiple chains and offers fast execution and real-time ￰18￱ GT token gets upgrades to power the Gate Layer ecosystem GT, Gate’s native token, has also been upgraded alongside the launch of Gate Layer 2 ￰19￱ will now operate as the exclusive gas token for all on-chain activity within the Gate Layer, including transactions, contract deployments, NFT minting, and cross-chain ￰20￱ token will also maintain its deflationary model, which combines scheduled quarterly burns based on ecosystem performance with automatic on-chain burns through the EIP-1559 ￰21￱ Gate ecosystem has already burned over 180 million GT tokens, roughly 60% of the initial 300 million ￰22￱ has also significantly upgraded version v1.20 to support the new ￰23￱ line with the upgrade, blob transaction support through the EIP-4844 standard, integration of the Cancun EVM version, and compatibility with 12 additional Ethereum Proposals have been introduced to improve gas fees calculations and enhance ￰24￱ interfaces have received improvements for blob transactions and data ￰25￱ token is currently trading at $16.27, down by 0.57% with daily average trading volume of $16,87 ￰26￱ current circulating supply is 82.36 million, down from the original maximum supply of 300 ￰27￱ exchange revealed that its dual approach, including the launch of the Layer 2 network with upgrades on the GT token, would contribute to the long-term growth and sustainability of the ￰28￱ your project in front of crypto’s top minds?
