Gate has launched a Web3 Launchpad that promotes fully “on-chain” token issuance and a no-code launch platform. The move aims to accelerate project creation while impacting liquidity and risk for traders and investors, combining a traditional IEO route with a new offering focused on community launches and meme tokens. The initiative integrates on-chain transparency with security controls, according to the firm’s statement.
Gate maintains a dual approach: its Gate.io Startup continues to offer a traditional channel for early-stage projects, while the new Web3 Launchpad and Gate Fun target fully on-chain issuances and “zero-code” launches for communities. The model blends a conventional IEO path with tools designed for community-driven tokens, including meme tokens, while emphasizing transparency and security.
On-chain means that subscriptions, allocations and distribution are recorded in a verifiable way on the blockchain, ensuring traceability of each step. Zero-code issuance is a tool that allows creating and deploying tokens without writing code, lowering the technical barrier for issuers and broadening participation.
The platform reinforces transparency by recording each step of the subscription and distribution process on-chain. It complements that openness with security controls such as due diligence reviews, KYC/AML, smart contract audits, liquidity lock mechanisms and vesting schedules, according to the firm.
Web3 Launchpad: context and impact
Gate Fun runs on Gate Layer, a Layer-2 solution designed to improve speed, interoperability and transaction processing across chains such as Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Solana, according to the same statement. This infrastructure is built to support multi-chain activity and reduce frictions for both issuers and participants.
Operationally, Gate Token (GT) acts as gas on Gate Layer and is integrated into subscription and governance processes. The platform also supports payments with USD1, establishing a connection with stablecoin flows and the firm World Liberty Financial, which facilitates participation by users less exposed to volatility.
For traders and managers, greater accessibility and on-chain records can increase the supply of tradable assets and rotation between BTC/altcoins, raising liquidity in successful launches. However, lower issuance friction—particularly for meme tokens—can increase the risk of frauds and exploits; audits and locks mitigate, but do not eliminate, those risks.
In investment terms, the use of GT and the integration of stablecoins can facilitate the entry of more stable capital, which may translate into higher initial volumes and temporary pressure on the basis and open interest in listed tokens.
The initiative consolidates Gate’s bet on an “All in Web3” ecosystem that combines on-chain transparency and ease of issuance. The next item to watch will be launch activity on Gate Fun and its impact on liquidity and risk in spot and derivatives markets.
