Gate Fun Bridges CEX and DEX to Democratize Token Creation

Gate Fun, the latest innovation from cryptocurrency exchange Gate, has officially launched as the world's first community-driven token launchpad, marking a significant step in the platform's "All in Web3" strategy. Built on Gate's proprietary Layer 2 blockchain, Gate Layer, the platform enables users to create and trade tokens in under a minute with minimal gas fees, fostering a decentralized ecosystem for Web3 creators and investorsGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch Platform as CEO Dr. Han Pushes ‘All in Web3’ Vision for the Future of Finance^[2]. The launch underscores Gate's ambition to bridge centralized and decentralized finance while accelerating global crypto adoption.

The platform's core feature, the "Token Community," allows creators to establish dedicated community spaces for each token, enabling real-time interactions, project updates, and reward mechanisms tied to user engagementGate Fun — The World’s First Community-Driven Token Launch Platform^[5]. Users can participate in these communities via Gate Wallet, MetaMask, or Gate's centralized exchange (CEX), with rewards distributed from a community prize pool based on post popularity and token holdingsGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch^[6]. This model encourages collaborative governance and aligns incentives between creators and token holders, a departure from traditional token launch mechanismsGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch^[6].

Gate Fun's integration with Gate's broader ecosystem-including Gate Perp DEX, Meme Go, and Wrapped Assets-creates a seamless workflow from token creation to trading. Once a token raises approximately 1,000 GT (Gate's native token), liquidity is automatically migrated to Gate Swap, where it becomes tradableGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch Platform as CEO Dr. Han Pushes ‘All in Web3’ Vision for the Future of Finance^[2]. Creators also receive a 50 GT bonus and fee-sharing rights, incentivizing high-quality projectsGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch Platform as CEO Dr. Han Pushes ‘All in Web3’ Vision for the Future of Finance^[2]. The platform's zero-code interface, akin to Pump.fun, simplifies token issuance, requiring only a few clicks to set parameters like name, symbol, and initial trading featuresGate Fun Officially Launches Community-Driven Token Launch^[4].

Gate's CEO, Dr. Han Lin, emphasized the platform's role in democratizing crypto innovation. "The All in Web3 on-chain ecosystem is not only the next evolution of exchanges but also the future of finance," he stated during a keynote at TOKEN2049 SingaporeGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch Platform as CEO Dr. Han Pushes ‘All in Web3’ Vision for the Future of Finance^[2]. Gate's infrastructure now processes up to 700,000 transactions per second, rivaling traditional exchanges, while its decentralized exchange (DEX) total value locked (TVL) approaches levels of centralized counterparts. With over 15,000 tokens launched daily on DEXs, the sector's growing dominance validates Gate's strategic pivotGate Fun Officially Launches Community-Driven Token Launch^[4].

The launchpad's community-driven model has already seen traction, with projects leveraging the platform to build user-centric ecosystems. For example, Gate Perp DEX's public beta, which allows users to earn up to 500 GT, highlights the platform's focus on liquidity and user rewardsGate Fun Launchpad Goes Live — Public Test Opens with 6,000 GT^[1]. Additionally, Gate's recent integration of "post-to-earn" mechanics in token communities further incentivizes engagement, with rewards calculated from factors like comments, likes, and token holdingsGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch^[6].

Critics note potential risks, such as speculative token creation and governance challenges, but Gate's emphasis on compliance and community guidelines aims to mitigate these issuesGate Unveils Gate Fun: Zero-Code On-Chain Token Launch^[6]. The platform's rigorous project review process, powered by AI and machine learning, ensures only high-potential projects gain access. Early success stories, including a decentralized AI prediction market and a blockchain-based game metaverse, have seen returns exceeding 500% post-launch.

As DEXs capture 25–50% of the trading market share, Gate Fun's launch positions the exchange as a key player in the Web3 transition. With its Layer 2 network and integrated ecosystem, Gate aims to redefine the role of exchanges in a decentralized financial landscape.
