Smart contract EVM mainnet will go live on GateChain soon, characterized by high performance, secure infrastructure and low gas fees, empowering everyone to create and access highly secure & scalable dapps. In order for more blockchain projects to deploy their contracts on GateChain’s interoperable eco, we will initially launch the DeFi eco project matchmaking and Labs incubator recruitment program on February 20, 2021.

Gate.io Labs will fund $50 million (in cryptocurrency) and host a series of seed funding rounds ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars promoting and supporting high quality project development. GateChain’s community plays a vital role in its governance. Additionally, projects will be supported by Gate.io to the best of its ability, including but not limited to
-Exposure to GateChain’s DeFi exchange and lending platform;
-Opportunity to gain more user support through Gate.io Startup;
-Opportunity to list on Gate.io;
-Opportunity to secure further investment rounds from Gate.io Labs;
-Liquidity incentives, providing liquidity support for projects that pass the security audit.

Advantages of GateChain

GateChain, a high-performance permissionless blockchain, features a unique account mechanism addressing the dangers of hacks and loss of keys. The basic infrastructure with a high volume of up to 2000 TPS lays a solid foundation for the DeFi ecology, and can effectively solve the problem of high transfer fees. Meanwhile, it supports thousands of consensus nodes, making it a truly decentralized public chain.

-Low Gas fees: no more insane gas fees!.
-High Volume: no more congestions! Highly scalable DeFi applications!
-Highly Secure: supporting revocable transaction function!
-Clearing Mechanism: asset recovery in case of private key loss or theft.
-Instant confirmations: next-level block confirmations..
-One-Click Chain Issuance: open source basic SDK framework provides one-click cross-chain solutions for public chain projects.
-Cross-Chain Asset Transfers: Ether, Polkadot and Cosmos assets are fully supported.
-Decentralized: supports thousands of consensus nodes, robust PoS + Byzantine consensus mechanism.
