Incentive and launch mechanisms such as Gate Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, CandyDrop, and Launchpad continue to provide users with entry points to participate in early-stage projects and diversified revenue opportunities, with nearly 30 projects launched in December and a total prize pool exceeding $3.5 million. While continuously upgrading its on-chain infrastructure, decentralized applications such as Gate Perp DEX and Gate Fun are constantly iterating. Gate Perp DEX has achieved monthly trading volume exceeding $10 billion for two consecutive months, further enriching the user experience in on-chain trading and participation scenarios.
In terms of asset management and yield product offerings, the total mintage of GUSD has once again surpassed $200 million, and the platform's on-chain earning, savings, and quantitative and structured product matrix continues to expand.

Through the dual optimization of product functionality and interactive experience, Gate continues to strengthen the long-term user experience within the platform.
