GateChain Token

GateChain Token (GT) is the native utility token of the GateChain mainnet. Users pay transaction fees with its help and also get rewarded for staking their assets.

The initial supply equals to 300 million GTs with all tokens given away to investors via initial distribution. As new tokens are issued on a yearly basis, the total supply must reach 1 billion in 10 years since the project launch. The token usage is allocated in the following way:

200 million GTs are set to go to developing and researching; 100 million GTs are set to go to market expansion 200 million GTs will go to ecosystem building 200 million GTs more will be produced as staking reward

At the testnet phase, GT tokens can be stored on desktop wallets for Windows and Mac OS that are available for download on the project’s official website. Once the mainnet goes live, new options such as a command-line wallet, a mobile wallet for Android and iOS, a Web wallet and a multi-signature wallet will be available as well.

GT tokens are available for trading on a few exchanges, including Huobi Global, Gate.io and Coinall. However, there is no information about the fundraising process or key investors.
