Redefinindo a Infraestrutura Web3: Como o Gate Layer Está Reformulando o Ecossistema Digital de Próxima Geração

Blockchain technology is advancing Web3 The new form permeates every corner of digital life, and all of this is built on infrastructure. In 2025, the Web3 field presents a key turning point from "modular exploration" to "scaled implementation."

As an important participant in this ecosystem, Gate Exchange officially launched its self-developed high-performance Layer 2 network - Gate Layer in September 2025, fully promoting the upgrade of the GT ecosystem with the strategy of "All in Web3."

01 The Cross-Era Evolution of Web3 Infrastructure

According to the Gartner "2025 Top Ten Strategic Technology Trends Report" and the analysis of mainstream public chain technology roadmaps, the year 2025 has become a key year for Web3 technology to transition from "modular exploration" to "scaled implementation."

The deep integration of Layer3 and data availability layers is breaking through the thousand-fold bottleneck of blockchain throughput, while the tokenization of real-world assets is entering a multi-scenario explosion period, and quantum-resistant encryption technology is initiating the process of standardized deployment.

These three major trends not only represent the direction of technological evolution but also provide investors, developers, and traditional enterprises with a clear path to enter the Web3 world.

02 Gate Layer: The technological core of high-performance Web3 infrastructure

Gate Layer is built using the industry’s mainstream OP Stack technology, and is a high-performance Layer2 network, fully supported. Ethereum The Virtual Machine (EVM) uses GateChain as the main chain settlement layer to enhance security, and strengthens network stability through the GT staking mechanism.

Breakthrough performance.

In terms of performance, Gate Layer performs impressively: it can handle over 5,700 transactions per second, block generation takes only 1 second, and transaction fees are significantly lower than most existing layer 2 networks, with approximately only $30 for every 1,000,000 transfers.

In terms of cross-chain capabilities, Gate Layer combines with LayerZero to create multi-chain interoperability, supporting cross-chain transfers of mainstream public chain assets such as Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon.

Security Design

With "low threshold, high efficiency, and low cost" as the design core, Gate Layer is committed to providing convenient on-chain services for users and developers, and strengthening security endorsement through the GT staking mechanism, achieving the best balance between performance and security.

03 Key Technology Trends of Web3 Infrastructure in 2025

Layer3 integrates with the data availability layer

By 2025, the number of Ethereum ecosystem L2/L3 solutions is expected to exceed 2000, with 80% of the networks abandoning Ethereum L1 as the data layer in favor of alternatives such as Celestia and EigenDA.

This deep integration will give rise to a complete decoupling of "execution-settlement-data", allowing the overall scaling factor of the Ethereum ecosystem to leap from 25 times in 2024 to over 200 times.

ZK technology leads the expansion market

The maturity of zero-knowledge proof technology is reshaping the Web3 infrastructure. By 2025, ZK-based scaling solutions will account for over 50%, completely transforming the market landscape dominated by Optimistic Rollup.

The technological breakthrough is reflected in two dimensions: first, the improvement in proof efficiency, where a general zkVM can complete Ethereum block proof within 30 seconds; second, decentralized generation, where networks like Gevulot will undertake over 90% of ZK proof generation tasks.

The public chain performance competition has entered the "million TPS era".

The year 2025 will be a leap year for blockchain performance. Solana achieves a throughput of over 1 million TPS in the testing environment through the Firedancer client upgrade.

It is expected that after the official launch in the fourth quarter of 2025, the non-voting transaction processing capacity will stabilize at over 5000 TPS.

The penetration rate of blockchain abstraction technology exceeds 25%.

The maturity of chain abstraction technology is fundamentally lowering the barrier to entry for Web3. By shielding users from the complexities of underlying chains, they can perform cross-chain operations without needing to understand the differences between public chains. It is expected that by 2025, over 25% of on-chain transactions will be generated through chain abstraction.

04 Gate’s Global Ecosystem: Application Practices of Web3 Infrastructure

Gate Layer is built on the infrastructure of a "high-performance Layer 2 network," focusing on the strategic axis of "All in Web3," and has launched three core tools: Perp, Gate Fun, and Meme Go, to comprehensively meet users’ all-around needs "from asset issuance, trading to value creation."

Gate Perp DEX: Decentralized Derivatives Trading

On September 29, 2025, Gate announced the official launch of Gate Perp DEX, a decentralized perpetual contract exchange built on the self-developed Layer 2 network Gate Layer.

The platform supports 447 markets and up to 125x leverage, combining cross-chain compatibility with on-chain transparency and security, aiming to provide global users with a trading experience close to mainstream CEX.

Gate Fun: No-Code Token Issuance Incubator

A "no-code, low-cost" token issuance incubator aimed at small and medium-sized projects, supporting Meme and Web3 creators to quickly launch, and empowering project development through Gate’s comprehensive ecosystem.

Meme Go: A real-time trading and monitoring platform for all-chain Meme coins

The all-chain Meme coin instant trading and monitoring platform supports multiple public chains such as Ethereum, BSC, and Solana, achieving dynamic monitoring of tokens from major global issuance platforms with zero latency transactions.

05 GT Token Economics and GateChain Upgrade

This strategic upgrade further expands the application scenarios and value of GT. As the only Gas token of Gate Layer, the on-chain demand for GT will continue to increase with the growth of the ecosystem.

The platform continues to use a dual deflation mechanism of "regular destruction + on-chain burning". So far, over 180 million GT have been destroyed, accounting for 60.18% of the initial issuance, continuously enhancing its scarcity and long-term value.

GateChain has been upgraded to v1.20, adding support for Blob transactions (EIP-4844), upgrading the EVM version to Cancun, and being compatible with 12 EIP protocols, optimizing Gas fees, enhancing security, and further consolidating the technical foundation for the stable operation of Gate Layer.

06 RWA and AI: The New Frontier of Web3 Infrastructure

The RWA market size has surpassed 50 billion dollars.

Tokenization of real-world assets is moving from proof of concept to large-scale application. As of August 2025, the total scale of RWA has reached 26.4 billion USD, showing an accelerated growth trend, and it is expected to exceed the 50 billion USD mark by the end of the year.

McKinsey also predicts that by 2030, the size of tokenized assets (excluding stablecoins) will reach $2 trillion, and in an optimistic scenario, it could double to $4 trillion.

AI and Web3 Deep Collaboration

Gartner predicts that agent-based AI will merge with Web3 application scenarios. This goal-driven intelligent agent can autonomously complete tasks such as RWA valuation, on-chain asset allocation, and risk monitoring, with an expectation that by 2028, 15% of financial decisions will be made autonomously by it.

07 Institutional Perspective and Market Outlook

Institutional interest in Gate Token continues to grow. 236 institutional entities have reported holdings in Gate’s tokens, an increase of 8 entities from the previous quarter, representing a growth rate of 3.51%.

About GT Price Prediction The latest analysis for October 2025 shows that the one-year consensus price prediction for the Gate native token has been adjusted to $25.48.

At the current market price, the staking reward yield for the token is 4.44%, providing an additional source of income for holders.

Future Outlook

As blockchain technology further penetrates every corner of digital life, the development of Web3 infrastructure is at a critical turning point from "modular exploration" to "scalable implementation." In the future, Web3 will not simply replace traditional networks; rather, it will serve as a powerful integrating force that creatively combines the efficiency of centralized systems with the trust attributes of decentralized networks.

In this transformation, the only certainty is the change itself. And Gate Layer is an important participant in this transformation, laying a solid foundation for the next generation of the internet through high-performance, low-cost infrastructure.
