After Ethereum’s full upgrade to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, ETH staking has become a cornerstone of crypto asset allocation. By staking ETH to participate in network validation, holders earn consistent yields without needing complex hardware. But ETH staking is just the starting point of Gate’s on-chain earning product suite.
As a leading global crypto exchange, Gate’s on-chain earning products now span over 20 major cryptocurrencies in a diversified staking matrix. Beyond ETH staking, which other coins does Gate support? And how do their yield mechanisms differ?
Solana (SOL) Staking: A Benchmark for High-Performance Blockchain Yields
Solana, a leading high-performance blockchain, continues to maintain strong ecosystem activity and community size through 2026. Gate’s SOL staking product has consistently attracted significant capital. As of June 26, 2026, the SOL price was approximately 68 USD. According to Gate’s platform data, the reference annual percentage yield (APY) for SOL staking stands at 8.50%.
Gate has designed a tiered yield system for SOL staking, offering varying combined APRs based on staking amount:
- Stake 0–1 SOL: Combined APR 8.50% (base 6.00% + bonus 2.50%)
- Stake 1–10 SOL: Combined APR 7.00% (base 6.00% + bonus 1.00%)
- Stake 10–50 SOL: Combined APR 6.40% (base 6.00% + bonus 0.40%)
This tiered structure is exceptionally favorable for small holders, allowing everyday users to earn competitive yields. Users who stake SOL receive an equivalent amount of GTSOL liquidity asset tokens, enabling instant redemptions—solving the lock-up pain point of traditional staking.
GT Staking: Exclusive Ecosystem Rewards for Exchange Token Holders
As the core token of the Gate ecosystem, GT isn’t just for fee discounts—it’s a key asset for earning ecosystem yields. As of June 26, 2026, the GT price was approximately 6.45 USD. Gate offers exclusive staking channels for GT holders.
GT staking has a unique mechanism: users stake GT and receive an equivalent amount of GT2 as yield certificates. GT2 rewards are distributed daily, and a 100% reserve mechanism ensures asset safety. Currently, total GT staked in the product has exceeded 40.29 million GT. The minimum investment is just 1 GT, with flexible staking and redemption, offering excellent liquidity.
Holding GT also unlocks more ecosystem benefits. Gate Launchpool supports staking GT, BTC, ETH, USDT, GUSD, and other tokens, distributing new token airdrop rewards hourly. Gate HODLer Airdrop lets users with just 1 GT participate in free airdrops. For those bullish on the Gate ecosystem long-term, GT staking provides "multi-use" value from a single token.
Stablecoin Staking: GUSD and USDT for Steady Returns
For risk-averse investors, stablecoin staking is an indispensable wealth management tool.
GUSD is a high-quality yield asset backed by Gate ecosystem revenue, Treasury RWA, and stablecoins. As of June 26, 2026, the total GUSD supply was 166 million, with a base APY of 2.80%. GUSD uses a tiered rate structure, offering significant bonus rewards for small stakers:
- Stake 0–500 GUSD: Bonus APR 96.70%, combined APR up to 100%
- Stake 500–5,000 GUSD: Bonus APR 6.70%, combined APR approx. 10%
This tiered design strongly incentivizes small stakers. Additionally, GUSD frequently integrates with Launchpool, allowing holders to earn stable yields while sharing in new token rewards from popular projects.
USDT, the most traded stablecoin, also holds a key position in Gate’s on-chain earning products. As of June 26, 2026, the USDT price was approximately 0.9984 USD. The current reference APY for USDT staking ranges from about 1.88% to 3.47%, with flexible deposits and withdrawals—making it an ideal parking spot for idle funds.
ATOM, DOT, ADA, SUI, and More: Yields Across Multiple Coins
Gate’s staking product line covers core assets from today’s major blockchain ecosystems. In addition to the coins above, Gate supports staking for ATOM, DOT, ADA, SUI, ZETA, and many other mainstream blockchain tokens. These projects span different technology tracks, including cross-chain communication, high-performance blockchains, and Layer 2 scaling.
As of June 26, 2026:
- Cosmos (ATOM) price: approximately 1.61 USD
- Polkadot (DOT) price: approximately 0.82 USD
- Cardano (ADA) price: approximately 0.14 USD
- Sui (SUI) price: approximately 0.68 USD
According to Gate’s on-chain earning product page, ATOM’s reference APY reaches 26.78%, DOT’s 20.16%, and ADA’s 6.84%. This diversified asset mix provides users with abundant allocation options.
XRP and DOGE: Broader Staking Choices
Beyond PoS-based staking products, Gate also extends staking to XRP, DOGE, and other crypto assets. These additions further enrich Gate’s on-chain earning product matrix, meeting diverse investment preferences.
