Become a Crypto Expert with Gate Learn Course

Welcome to the next step in your crypto education journey. In this course, we turn our focus from the blockchain technology itself to the cryptocurrencies that run on these networks. By the end of this course, that mysterious world of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other coins will start to make sense. You’ll learn what cryptocurrencies are, why they exist, and how people use them in the real world. We’ll keep things simple and practical, building on what you learned about blockchain in Course 1 without overwhelming jargon.

Welcome to your first step into the world of blockchain technology. In just one hour, you'll go from confused about cryptocurrency to understanding the revolutionary technology behind it all.

GUSD (Gate USD), launched by Gate in 2025, is a yield-bearing investment certificate backed by real-world assets (RWA) such as U.S. Treasuries. Unlike traditional stablecoins that only hold value, GUSD accrues interest over time. It offers Gate users a safe, low-risk way to preserve capital while earning passive income (up to 4.40%), fully integrated into the Gate.com ecosystem.

This course provides a systematic explanation of the core mechanics behind ETF leveraged tokens — a product designed to deliver multiple times the daily returns of an underlying asset by hedging in the perpetual futures market. These tokens are high-risk, high-volatility instruments, best suited for short-term swing trading or hedging strategies. When used properly, leveraged tokens can amplify gains or hedge market risk, offering key advantages such as:reduced losses in downtrends, and enhanced profits in uptrends.

This course is designed for investors seeking an in-depth understanding of futures trading while mastering practical, hands-on strategies. Through a step-by-step learning path, you'll quickly get started with futures trading and learn to leverage different strategy tools to identify profit opportunities in volatile markets. Whether you're a beginner building a foundation or an experienced trader expanding your strategies, this course will help you develop a comprehensive trading mindset.

Stablecoins are a cornerstone of modern crypto ecosystems, offering price stability in volatile markets. But behind their apparent stability lies a complex system of technical, financial, and operational safeguards. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the risks stablecoins face, especially depegging, and how protocols, developers, and risk teams design systems to defend against them. From analyzing reserve structures to building automated alert systems, and from real-world incident responses to future-proofing strategies, this course equips learners with the knowledge to evaluate and contribute to resilient stablecoin ecosystems.

Through this course, users will not only gain a comprehensive understanding of Spot DCA mechanisms and parameter settings, but also master flexible application techniques and risk control methods in different market conditions. The course emphasizes the importance of capital management and psychological resilience, helping investors improve stable profitability in volatile markets, and enabling students to quickly apply strategies in practice through platform operation demonstrations.

Celestia represents a fundamental redesign of blockchain architecture through its modular approach. Instead of requiring every blockchain to handle execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability within a single system, Celestia separates these functions into specialized layers. This allows developers to create sovereign and application-specific blockchains that outsource data availability and consensus to Celestia while retaining full control over their execution environments.

Many DeFi projects face a common challenge: securing reliable liquidity without excessive token emissions or complex treasury management. Traditional models like liquidity mining attract short-term users, while protocol-owned liquidity requires significant resources. Liquidity-as-a-Service (LaaS) offers a solution. It allows protocols to outsource liquidity management to specialized platforms, reducing costs, improving stability, and supporting long-term growth. This course explains how LaaS works, why it’s gaining adoption, and what it means for the future of DeFi infrastructure.

This course offers a comprehensive overview of the Axelar network and its role in enabling secure cross-chain communication. Participants will learn how Axelar’s infrastructure supports interoperability across multiple blockchains, examine its core technologies, and understand the economic and governance structures that support its ongoing development. The course is designed for those seeking a structured understanding of multi-chain communication protocols and their application in real-world use cases.

Spot grid is a passive quantitative trading bot that profits from price fluctuations without forecasting market trends. It is especially effective in the range-bound conditions common in the crypto market. By setting a price range and dividing it into multiple grids, the system automatically places buy and sell orders within each grid, repeatedly executing a "buy low, sell high" approach. The key advantages include: - Automated execution: Once the bot is launched, it runs 24/7 without the need for market monitoring. - Risk diversification: Place multiple orders at different price levels to reduce the risk of single-price exposure. - High market adaptability: Ideal for range-bound markets and highly volatile assets. - Robust platform support: Gate offers powerful features, including AI recommendations, copy trading, trailing grid, and auto-reinvest, that significantly enhance efficiency and flexibility. However, the bot has its limitations, including directional market risk, profit erosion by trading fees, capital efficiency, etc. Proper parameter settings, risk management, and the use of trend-following tools are key to improving the effectiveness of spot grid trading in practice.

Blockchains are powerful but limited by their isolation from the outside world. Smart contracts can only process on-chain data, yet most real-world applications, from finance and insurance to gaming and logistics, depend on external information. Programmable oracle networks solve this problem by securely delivering and processing off-chain data for use on-chain. They extend blockchain functionality, enabling decentralized applications to interact with markets, APIs, sensors, and even other blockchains in a trust-minimized way.

Learn about contracts from a more practical tutorial than in handbooks.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without ever decrypting it. This breakthrough solves one of blockchain’s biggest challenges: maintaining privacy on public, transparent ledgers. FHE smart‑contracts enable sensitive financial transactions, private voting, and secure AI operations directly on-chain, preserving confidentiality without losing verifiability. This course provides a comprehensive guide to understanding FHE concepts, cryptographic schemes, and how these techniques integrate into modern blockchain architectures.

Cryptographic wallets are evolving. As security threats increase and user expectations rise, traditional key management methods—like seed phrases and multisig—are no longer sufficient. This course introduces you to the emerging world of threshold cryptography and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) for digital asset security. You'll learn how private keys can be split, distributed, and securely used for signing transactions without ever being fully reconstructed.
