Gate Perp DEX is live! 125x leverage and 447 trading pairs redefine the Decentralization derivation market.

The global crypto assets market is undergoing a significant transformation, as Gate exchange officially launches the decentralized perpetual futures trading platform Gate Perp DEX, based on its self-developed Layer 2 network. This innovative product is centered around a professional trading experience, offering liquidity and performance comparable to centralized exchanges, while retaining the transparency and security of decentralization, marking a new era for DeFi derivatives trading.

Professional Trading Experience: Bridging the Performance Gap Between DEX and CEX

Gate Perp DEX has completely overturned the performance limitations of traditional decentralized exchanges by integrating a high-performance matching engine, achieving high concurrency processing and ultra-low latency trade execution. Even during periods of extreme market volatility, the platform can maintain stable operation, ensuring that traders' orders are executed accurately.

The seamless experience of "Connect and Trade" allows users to enter the market immediately by simply connecting their wallets, completely eliminating the cumbersome entry process of traditional DEX platforms. This ultimate user experience design makes Gate Perp DEX one of the few derivatives platforms in the market that retains the advantages of Decentralization while providing a professional trading experience.

Multi-Chain Compatibility: Breaking the Blockchain Islands

One of the major technical highlights of Gate Perp DEX is its outstanding multi-chain compatibility. The platform supports users to deposit and withdraw from mainstream blockchains such as Solana and Ethereum, and achieves efficient and secure cross-chain communication through the LayerZero protocol.

This multi-chain design not only provides users with greater asset flexibility but also effectively addresses the issue of liquidity fragmentation on traditional DEX platforms, creating a truly seamless cross-chain trading environment for traders.

447 trading markets: Unprecedented asset coverage

Gate Perp DEX currently supports up to 447 trading markets, an unprecedented scope that includes not only mainstream crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also extends to numerous long-tail assets, catering to the diverse needs of different traders.

Compared to other mainstream DEX platforms in the market that typically offer only a few dozen trading pairs, Gate Perp DEX's product coverage is a revolutionary breakthrough, providing professional traders with unprecedented market opportunities.

Professional Trading Tools: 125x Leverage and Rich Order Types

Gate Perp DEX provides professional traders with a comprehensive suite of trading tools, among which the most notable is the leverage option of up to 125 times (applicable to the BTC and ETH Perptual Futures markets), consistent with the Gate Centralized Exchange, offering greater flexibility and Depth for trading strategies.

The platform supports various order types, including limit orders, market orders, stop-loss orders, take-profit orders, conditional orders, and iceberg orders, catering to a wide range of needs from simple investments to complex strategy trading. Users can also choose between one-way or two-way positions and freely switch between full margin and isolated margin modes to achieve precise risk management.

The adoption of the order book model further narrows the price spread, enhances capital efficiency, and strengthens liquidity depth, providing users with a trading experience close to a Centralized Exchange while retaining the security and transparency of Decentralization.

On-Chain Security and Risk Management: Redefining the DEX Trust Model

Gate Perp DEX has made significant innovations in security design, utilizing an on-chain ledger to ensure that every order and asset change can be verified in real time. All transaction data and asset changes are recorded on the blockchain, secured by rigorously audited smart contracts.

The platform also introduces cross-chain communication supported by LayerZero and a Vault auto-balancing mechanism, providing multi-layered protection for user assets. This design combines transparency with robust security, establishing a brand new trust model for decentralized exchanges.

Community Incentives and Long-term Ecological Construction

Gate Perp DEX focuses not only on short-term trading experiences but also on the long-term ecosystem construction. The platform has established a comprehensive rebate and points system to encourage users to benefit from trading and participation in the ecosystem, promoting a sustainable value cycle of the decentralized ecosystem.

From September 29 to October 22, 2025, during the public beta phase, the platform launched multiple incentive measures, including first trade rewards, leaderboard competitions, and feedback rewards, with individual rewards reaching up to 500 GT airdrop. These incentive programs not only provide direct rewards for early users but also encourage community participation in the ongoing improvement and development of the platform.
