#Gate广场创作者新春激励 🔥 GateToken ($GT ) Completed Q4 2025 Burn — Continuous Deflation

- In early January 2026, Gate officially confirmed the completion of the on-chain burn for Q4 2025, marking another milestone in its long-term deflation strategy. According to official on-chain data, this burn involved 2,163,900.48229 GT tokens, which have been permanently removed from circulation by sending them to a zero address burn wallet.

📉 How much was burned?

🔥 Burned tokens: approximately 2.16 million GT

💵 Estimated burn value: approximately $27–$22+ million $GT valuation varies depending on the price source (

📊 Total GT burned: approximately 185.48 million GT

📉 Total supply reduction: approximately 61.6% of the original 300 million GT supply

This ongoing burn reflects Gate’s continuous commitment to tightening GT supply and promoting scarcity — a classic strategy used by many crypto projects to support value.

📌 Why quarterly burns matter
🪙 Deflationary Token Economics

GT employs a dual burn mechanism, combining regular quarterly burns with on-chain fee burns, the latter linked to network activity. Over time, this will slow supply growth and, assuming strong demand, theoretically help support price appreciation.

Quarterly burns are driven by Gate’s revenue and ecosystem activity — meaning more ecosystem transactions can translate into larger burn amounts. This tightly links token supply dynamics with the actual usage of Gate Chain and related products.

🚀 Ecosystem growth drives burns

The timing of the Q4 2025 burn coincided with several developments in the Gate ecosystem:

Gate Layer launch — a high-performance Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack, expanding GT’s role as a transaction fuel for new chains.

Native applications — such as Perp DEX) decentralized derivatives(, Gate Fun) no-code token issuance(, Meme Go) cross-chain meme analysis(, and other tools that continuously increase on-chain activity, naturally generating fee burns in addition to regular burns.
