GT is the native token of Gate.io, which carries the core functions of the entire platform. In terms of fee reduction, participation in Startup projects, VIP privileges, etc., the use cases of GT have formed a closed loop. In addition, with the expansion of the Gate.io ecosystem, the value of GT has also penetrated into multiple areas such as cross-chain solutions (GateChain), DeFi ecosystem (Hipo DeFi), and NFT market.

Compared to other CEX platform coins, GT's biggest advantage lies in its diversified ecological layout. Whether it's retail investors or institutional users, they can enjoy efficient and diversified services on the Gate.io platform through GT. The strong support of the ecosystem provides a solid foundation for the long-term growth of GT prices.
2. The driving force of Startup projects: an important driver of long-term value
Gate.io's Startup project has always been a hot sector in the industry, providing start-up funds for high-quality new projects, allowing users to participate at a lower cost. GT, as the only token for participating in Startup, not only enhances the liquidity of the token, but also directly ties it to the growth dividends of new projects.
Taking the recent Powerloom project as an example, the high APY of the novice pool, which is more than 5 times that of the regular pool, has attracted a large number of users. The mechanism of staking GT to participate in mining has further increased the demand for GT. From this perspective, Startup not only helps GT lock in long-term users, but also enhances its value and support depth.
The deflation model of GT is very clear. Through the repurchase and destruction mechanism, Gate.io uses part of the transaction fee income to repurchase GT and destroy it. This dynamic deflation mechanism effectively reduces the market circulation and improves the scarcity of the token. From historical data, Gate.io has already destroyed over 100 million GT (initial total of 300 million). The current circulation is gradually stabilizing, which provides strong support for the long-term upward trend of GT prices.
2. GT's circulation use cases: the demand keeps expanding
GT is not just an exchange token, its use cases have extended beyond the definition of traditional platform tokens. In addition to fee discounts and participation in Startup projects, GT also plays a key role in multiple emerging fields, such as:
On-chain governance: GT is the governance token of gateChain, and users can participate in on-chain proposal voting by holding and staking.
DeFi and NFT ecosystem: GT becomes the liquidity incentive token for Hipo DeFi, while acting as a payment medium in the Gate.io NFT market.
Financial management and mining: GT mining, staking, and other products provide stable returns for coin holders, further solidifying their holding value.
