The current phase of the USD1 Soft Staking campaign will officially conclude on July 21, 2026, at 15:00 (UTC). Following the end of the campaign, the corresponding reward distributions will cease.

To ensure your assets continue to generate high returns, we cordially invite you to participate in GUSD Minting. Gate GUSD now supports minting with USD1, users redeeming GUSD can enjoy real-time processing and 1:1 fee-free redemption back to the original minting currency. You can stake USDT, USDC, or USD1 to mint GUSD at a 1:1 ratio and enjoy a 3.8% annualized yield simply by holding.
Furthermore, by using GUSD to participate in financial products such as Launchpool and Pre-IPOs (excluding Lend & Earn and Dual Investment), you can simultaneously earn returns from the respective products along with the GUSD minting yield, maximizing your gains through multiple revenue streams.
Meanwhile, the platform will continue to plan and roll out new phases of the USD1 Soft Staking campaign in the future. Stay tuned for upcoming official announcements regarding new mechanics and rewards.

Product Overview

GUSD is a principal-protected flexible-term investment product with returns generated from Gate's ecosystem revenue, Treasury RWAs, and high-quality yield-bearing assets backed by stablecoins. It can be traded and used as collateral, allowing users to earn annualized yield with daily distributions while providing relatively stable returns.

  • Minting Method: Mint GUSD with USDT, USDC, or USD1 at a 1:1 conversion ratio.
  • Yield Distribution: Returns start accruing on the second day after your subscription and will be distributed in GUSD by 12:00 (UTC) on the following day. Returns are calculated based on the eligible GUSD balance in your Spot/Unified Account and Funding Account. You can view the details of your accumulated returns in your Spot/Unified Account.
  • Flexible Redemption : Withdraw anytime with instant settlement. For GUSD minted via USDT, USDC, or USD1, redemptions made within the dynamic "fee-free quota" of the respective currency incur zero fees. Redeemed assets are automatically returned to your Spot or Unified account.
