Panama City, Panama — August 7, 2026

Gate, a global digital asset platform, has announced the official launch of the Gate DexBuilder Event Contracts Builder, the platform's first tool of its kind, accompanied by a $3 million grant program. The initiative is designed to equip project teams, developers, communities, and Web3 applications worldwide with comprehensive event contract market building capabilities, accelerating the broader development of the event contract market ecosystem.

Modular Infrastructure to Lower Development Barriers

The Event Contracts Builder is engineered to reduce the technical barriers associated with developing market products. Through modular infrastructure services, it offers partners an integrated solution spanning market creation, trading, liquidity support, settlement, and operational management. Project teams are no longer required to build trading systems, liquidity infrastructure, and settlement architecture from the ground up, allowing them to rapidly deploy event contract market products aligned with their own brand positioning.

The service is available to a wide array of participants, including brokers and comprehensive trading platforms, crypto wallets, Web3 applications, media and information platforms, community content platforms, AI Trading platforms, AI Agents, quantitative trading platforms, as well as sports, esports, and entertainment products. Projects at the ideation, MVP, testing, or live stage are all eligible to apply.

Product Capabilities and Integration

Event Contracts Builder supports both API and SDK integration and delivers core functionality including market data, order and position management, market settlement, risk controls, an operations dashboard, and multi-terminal integration. Partners can either embed event contract market functionality into their existing products or construct independently operated, branded event contract markets on Gate DexBuilder.

The platform's use cases span a diverse set of event contract market scenarios, covering crypto assets, sports events, esports, macroeconomics, AI, and industry events. This breadth is intended to enable innovative teams to explore how event contract markets can be integrated with different business ecosystems and to expand the boundaries of industry applications.

$3 Million Grant Program

Gate DexBuilder will provide selected projects with up to $3 million in funding and ecosystem support. This covers key areas such as product development, technical integration, liquidity building, market launch, and user growth. Outstanding Builders will additionally receive access to technical support, official showcases, community exposure, joint AMAs, media promotion, and ecosystem partnerships, all aimed at accelerating projects from proof of concept through product launch and large-scale growth.

For builders, the grant program adds a practical incentive layer to the infrastructure launch: teams can test integrations, refine product design, and coordinate launches with platform support rather than assembling every component independently. Gate's announcement frames that combination of tooling and support as a way to broaden who can participate in event contract market development, not just deepen capabilities for existing operators.

Leadership Perspective

Jason Fung, Head of Gate DexBuilder and Head of Global Partnerships, stated that the future development of event contract markets will depend not only on the growth of trading volume but also on a broader range of application scenarios and open infrastructure support. He noted that Gate DexBuilder aims to provide partners across different industries with flexible and efficient building capabilities through Event Contracts Builder, accelerating the integration of event contract markets with a wider range of real-world and Web3 use cases.

Gate's Expanding Ecosystem

As a platform that continues to invest in Web3 infrastructure and innovative products, Gate has expanded its presence across emerging areas including event contract markets, DEXs, AI, and RWA (real-world assets) in recent years. By opening up product capabilities and ecosystem resources, Gate continues to build a more diversified, one-stop digital asset service ecosystem.

Looking ahead, Gate DexBuilder plans to further strengthen its event contract market infrastructure services and collaborate with Builders worldwide to explore additional innovative application scenarios, driving the event contract market ecosystem toward a more open and efficient future.
