GateToken (GT) 2026 Q1 On-Chain Burn Completed, Cumulative Burn Value Exceeds $1.3 Billion
According to an official announcement, the on-chain burn of GateToken (GT) for the first quarter of 2026 has been officially completed, with a total of 2,557,729.381387 GT transferred to the burn address, representing a burn value exceeding $20.68 million.Since the launch of the Gate Chain mainnet in 2019, GT has maintained a continuous burn mechanism. To date, a total of 187,377,156 GT have been burned, with a cumulative burn value exceeding $1.382 billion (at current prices). The total token supply has been significantly reduced by approximately 62.46% from its initial 300 million tokens.With the launch of Gate Layer and the gradual rollout of native applications such as Gate Perp DEX, Gate Fun, and Meme Go, the utility frequency of GT, the sole Gas token for Gate Layer, has been continuously increasing. Concurrently, Gate is driving the coordinated development of infrastructure and applications including Gate for AI Agent, GateClaw, Gate.AI, and GateRouter, leading to a simultaneous increase in on-chain transaction and interaction demand. Gate will continue to implement its long-term, stable GT burn mechanism, fostering a tighter positive feedback loop between the token's economic model and real usage demand alongside ecosystem expansion.
