In an age where even the most mundane transactions require a PhD in blockchain, Gate has unveiled its own Layer 2 network, which they’ve christened “Gate Layer”-a name so uninspired it could only be the work of a committee of accountants and overpaid consultants. Built on the OP Stack, which is as comprehensible as a sonnet written in hexadecimal, and fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which is a bit like saying your toaster can also boil an egg. It’s all very impressive, if you’re the sort of person who finds the phrase “secure settlement layer” more thrilling than a trip to the seaside.
