Gate Layer, a high-performance Layer 2 network, is built on the industry-leading OP Stack and secured by GateChain as the Layer 1 settlement layer. Fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Gate Layer aims to provide low-barrier, high-efficiency, and low-cost on-chain services for users and developers.
Core Features & User Benefits of Gate Layer:
- Full EVM compatibility & seamless migration : Supports Ethereum toolchains (e.g., Remix, MetaMask). Developers can migrate Ethereum DApps to it directly, and users can use them without changing habits;
- Dual security protection, more reliable assets : Gate Chain acts as the settlement layer securing the network, while the GT Staking mechanism strengthens consensus and prevents single points of failure;
- High performance & low latency, smoother transactions : Processing over 5,700 transactions per second with a block time of just 1 second, Gate Layer significantly outperforms traditional Layer 1 chains — enabling near-instant transfers and contract interactions;
- Ultra-low fees to lower barriers : Gas fees on Gate Layer are substantially lower than other Layer 2 networks, making it more accessible for everyday users to participate in Web3;
- Cross-chain interoperability, freer asset movement : Integration with the LayerZero cross-chain protocol allows seamless asset transfers between Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and other major blockchains without relying on centralized platforms.
