GateToken (GT) — is the native token of the Gate.io ecosystem, which has transformed over the past years from a simple exchange asset into a full-fledged infrastructure token.
Main functions and benefits of (Utility)
Network Gas: GT is an exclusive token for paying (gas) fees on the high-performance Gate Layer (launched in September 2025 on the OP Stack).
Fee discounts: Using GT to pay trading fees on the exchange reduces the rate (for example, from 0.1% to 0.09% at VIP 0 level).
VIP privileges: Holding the token determines the user’s VIP level, granting access to exclusive airdrops (CandyDrop), launchpads, and increased limits.
Staking: Tokens can be used to secure the main GateChain network (PoS), earning rewards in return.
Tokenomics and Deflation
Aggressive Burn: The project follows a strict deflationary model. Over 184.8 million GT have been burned (more than 60% of the initial issuance of 300 million).
Programmatic Buyback: The exchange buys back and burns tokens quarterly, using a portion of its profits.
