Gate.io Launches Ethereum 2.0 Staking & Lists 5 New DeFi Tokens
Digital asset exchange, Gate.io announced a flexible ETH staking solution for its users. It is supported by a stable Ethereum infrastructure and maturity asset management solution. The solution will enable users to earn a staking reward without needing to lock their ETH in ETH2 for a long time or worry about ETH2 penalties.
The company also announced that its stable coin, USDG, has been listed on S Finance. Users can exchange USDG with other stablecoins, such as USDC, DAI, USDT, TUSD, PAXI on the decentralized exchange.
Eth 2.0 staking demands higher technical expertise and requires a longer staking time. Moreover, running a validator on both the ETH1 chain and the ETH2 Beacon Chain at the same time, while maintaining a stable staking status is also required, or else funds being staked may be charged with penalties. Therefore, ETH2 staking is not suitable for everyone. Keeping up with innovative and user-friendly norms, Gate.io has built a flexible solution that enables users to earn a staking reward without needing to lock their ETH in ETH2 for a long time or worry about penalties

More details on Gate.io's ETH2 staking solution:
• Gate.io will list ETH2 tokens, and holding ETH2 tokens will be a certificate for users to participate in ETH2 staking. One ETH2 represents one ETH locked in ETH2 staking
• Users can buy or sell ETH2 on USDT and ETH markets freely
• Gate.io will distribute the net income (staking income minus cost) from ETH2 staking to ETH2 holders as ETH2 staking starts
• The staking reward will be in the form of ETH2.0, allocated based on a users' average ETH2 14-day holdings
• The yearly reward percentage of ETH2 staking is related to the amount of ETH being staked
• The yield tends to be higher at an early stage as less ETH is being staked. However, in the long term, the yield is expected to be stable around 5%-10%
Gate.io also listed Injective Protocol (INJ), TrustToken (TRU), OasisNetwork (ROSE), 32nd-largest DeFi project by TVL according to DeFi Pulse in addition to Roobee (ROOBEE), and Alpaca City (ALPA). The exchange is also launching a "Deposit and Trade Roobee (ROOBEE)" competition from December 4th until December 13th with a pool of 3100 USDT equivalents in rewards.
