New features like “Logo Mode” and the Meme Gem Index enhanced token discovery and trading, helping users capture high-yield projects such as Kekius, Trump, YZY, and Mubarak. Partnerships with MemeCity and MemeCore, along with participation in offline events, further solidified Gate Pilot’s leadership in the meme sector.
