Gate Products

The core distinction between Gate.AI and directly calling the OpenAI API lies in their architectural approach. The OpenAI API grants direct access to OpenAI models, whereas Gate.AI, functioning as an AI Gateway and model routing platform, unifies access to multiple large language models and automatically performs model selection and request routing based on factors like cost, performance, and availability.

Gate AI is a general-purpose AI assistant developed by Gate, built around three core capabilities: conversation, search, and task execution. Users can interact with Gate AI via natural language to quickly obtain answers, generate solutions, and complete related tasks, thereby boosting the efficiency of information acquisition and processing. By integrating intelligent Q&A with real-time data, Gate AI delivers a more efficient, all-in-one information acquisition experience.

Gate AI is a general-purpose AI assistant developed by Gate, capable of conversational Q&A, information search, data insights, and task execution, enabling users to efficiently obtain answers and complete tasks via natural language. By integrating platform content, real-time information, and intelligent recommendations, Gate AI delivers a seamless experience for information retrieval and solution generation, and is evolving into the unified entry point for the Gate AI ecosystem.

A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is a financial derivative settled based on the price difference of an underlying asset. Users do not need to actually hold the underlying asset itself. Instead, they can participate in the market by judging whether the price will rise or fall. For this reason, the core logic of CFDs is not the transfer of asset ownership, but trading price movements.

Gate TradFi is a comprehensive trading section built by Gate. It brings together three core trading models: CFD contracts, perpetual contracts, and spot tokens. Through a unified entry point and a multi asset framework, users can allocate capital and switch strategies more flexibly across different markets.

Gate Prediction Market is a new type of event trading product built around trending events, probability trading, and market sentiment. Its core logic is to let users trade and evaluate future event outcomes through a mechanism where “prices reflect expectations.” As on-chain prediction markets develop rapidly, prediction markets are evolving from traditional prediction tools into infrastructure for information aggregation and probability pricing.

Gate Prediction Market is an event trading product system built around major global events. Users can make predictions and trade future outcomes across different themes, including sports, crypto markets, macro events, and social trends. Unlike the traditional “fixed odds” model, prediction markets are closer to “probability pricing markets,” where event outcomes continuously change in response to market trading behavior.

Gate Prediction Market is a prediction market product built around major global events. Users can trade “Yes/No” shares tied to different event outcomes, expressing and pricing their views on the likelihood of future events. As prediction markets gradually become part of information finance, or InfoFi, more platforms are beginning to combine trending events, market sentiment, and on-chain trading mechanisms.

Gate Pre-IPOs is designed to let users access pre-IPO investment opportunities through a digital asset platform. At its core, it standardizes and digitizes what has traditionally been a private equity process. In the first SpaceX (SPCX) offering, users can subscribe using USDT or GUSD and receive SPCX allocations that are distributed fully unlocked upon completion. This lowers the barriers typically associated with primary market investing and allows broader participation through digital assets.

Gate Smart Leverage is an automated leveraged trading tool that requires no margin and carries no liquidation risk. It allows users to gain amplified exposure through a system that automatically builds and manages leveraged positions, delivering a trading experience similar to spot trading. Unlike traditional futures trading, it relies on dynamic leverage and automated risk controls to adjust positions, reducing complexity and the likelihood of liquidation. Compared with leveraged ETF tokens, Smart Leverage does not use fixed multiples but instead adapts to market conditions, making it better suited for volatile or complex markets. However, returns are not amplified by a fixed multiplier, and market risk and uncertainty still remain.

Over the past week, markets saw heightened volatility driven by recurring geopolitical tensions and stronger than expected economic data. Shifting signals from the United States and Iran pushed oil prices higher, with WTI rising more than 7% on the week. Solid retail sales, ISM readings, and nonfarm payrolls supported a rebound in equities, while precious metals reached new highs. Crypto assets moved in line with improving risk appetite, with Bitcoin approaching the $70k resistance level. On the flow side, BTC ETFs recorded modest weekly net inflows of about $22.3 million, an improvement from the prior week but still limited, while ETH ETFs continued to see net outflows. Quarter end rebalancing and holiday effects led to quick reversals after initial inflows. On chain and trading activity concentrated in oil and precious metals, DEX structure reshuffled, and Meteora volumes increased significantly. Stablecoin supply remained elevated, with USDC edging lower while DAI and USDS absorbed incremental flows, and A

Smart Leverage is a trading tool built on dynamic leverage and automated risk control. Its effectiveness depends heavily on market conditions and how it is used. In trending markets, it can amplify gains by following the trend. In ranging markets, its dynamic rebalancing helps reduce risk. For short-term trading, it improves capital efficiency. It can also be applied to hedging strategies to lower portfolio volatility. However, it is not suitable for long-term holding or highly uncertain market conditions. Its core principle is simple: match the right scenario with the right strategy.

Smart Leverage and futures trading are both common ways to gain leveraged exposure, but they differ significantly in their mechanisms and risk structures. Futures trading relies on a margin system, allowing users to set their own leverage levels, but it comes with liquidation risk. In contrast, Smart Leverage requires no margin and does not involve forced liquidation, as positions are managed through dynamic leverage and automated risk controls. Overall, futures trading offers greater flexibility but carries higher risk, making it more suitable for experienced traders, while Smart Leverage is simpler to use and better suited for beginners or users who want to reduce operational complexity.

Smart Leverage and ETF leveraged tokens are both margin-free leveraged products, but they differ fundamentally in how they operate. ETF leveraged tokens use fixed multipliers, such as 3x, and rely on rebalancing to maintain leverage, making them more suitable for trending markets. Smart Leverage, by contrast, uses dynamic leverage that automatically adjusts positions based on market volatility, making it better suited for choppy or complex conditions. In terms of risk, ETFs are more prone to volatility decay, while Smart Leverage exhibits path-dependent returns. Neither is inherently superior, the key lies in matching the tool to the market environment and trading strategy.

Although Smart Leverage requires no margin and eliminates liquidation risk, it does not mean it is risk-free. Its core risks stem from the uncertainty introduced by its dynamic leverage mechanism, along with exposure to market volatility, path dependency, and performance decay in choppy conditions. In extreme market scenarios, net asset value can still fluctuate sharply. At the same time, limited user control over leverage reduces strategic flexibility. In essence, Smart Leverage does not reduce risk, it reshapes it, making it more suitable for strategic use once its mechanics are fully understood.
