Could Gate Layers Really Solve Blockchain’s High Fees and Slow Speed?

Can blockchain at last break the hurdle of high gas prices and slow transactions? Gate's latest announcement is sure that the solution is Gate Layer , a high-performance Layer 2 network that not only gives scalability issues but also supports the GT ecosystem.

This upgrade sees Gate- is targeting to provide faster, more secure and cheaper Web3 services while fixing  GT's position as the backbone of its ecosystem.

Gate-Layer: A Next-Gen Layer- 2 Network

Gate-Layer is developed on top of the OP Stack and operates in conjunction with GateChain as its foundation layer. It is completely EVM compatible, so Ethereum applications can transition easily.

Developers can migrate their DApps without modification, and users can utilize them with the same tools such as MetaMask.

With 5,700 transactions per second and a 1-second block time, Gate Layer is considerably faster than most Layer-1 chains.

Core Features & User Benefits of Gate-Layer

• EVM Support- Highest level of suitability with Ether applications and tools.

• Double layer-Security - Secured by GateChain in addition to GT locking.

• Speed- Instant transactions and contracts.

• Low Fees- Dramatically lower fees compared to other chains.

• Cross-chain Power- Move digital assets across Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and more.

Gate Layer keeps costs low. Processing 1 million transfers costs under $30. The same would cost around $700 on Base, $1,000 on Solana, and $2,000 on BSC.

Gate’s Web3 Ecosystem Expansion

It is also building three new products on Gate-Layer:

• Perp- A  futures trading hub with strong liquidity and cross-chain support.

• Gate-Fun- A simple tool for creators to launch tokens without coding.

• Meme Go- A fast platform to track and trade meme tokens across chains.

These tools make Gate- Layer a full Web3 ecosystem for traders, builders, and token fans.

GT Tokenomics: Expanded Utility and Deflationary Model

The GT-token gains new power with Gate-Layer.

• Gas Token-  All transactions, swaps, and NFT mints on Gat- Layer- use GT.

• Dual Burn System- Quarterly burns based on Gate’s performance and On-chain burns through EIP-1559, removing GT-with every transaction.

Apart from this, more than 180 million GT (over 60% of supply) has been burned, making GT-scarce and valuable.

GateChain Upgrade for Gate-Layer

GateChain was upgraded to version v1.20 to enable it. New features are blob transaction support (EIP-4844), EVM Cancun upgrade, and enhanced security via new Ethereum proposals.

This makes the system stronger and more developer-friendly.

Conclusion: Gate-Layer’s- Role in Web3 Adoption

With the launch of Gate-Layer , plus stronger GT tokenomics and GateChain upgrades, Gate- is solving blockchain’s biggest problems slow speed, high costs, and poor user access. This move sets the stage for faster Web3 growth and a long-term boost for the GT-ecosystem.
