Zero‑Knowledge Coprocessors (ZK Coprocessors) are a new advancement in blockchain technology that combine off‑chain computation with on‑chain verification. They allow blockchains to process complex or data‑heavy tasks without compromising security or decentralization. By generating cryptographic proofs, ZK Coprocessors ensure that off‑chain computations can be trusted without having to repeat them on‑chain. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of ZK Coprocessors, from basic concepts and cryptographic foundations to real‑world applications and future research directions. It is designed to bridge the knowledge gap for both beginners and experienced blockchain developers seeking to explore this emerging field.

Saros is a decentralized finance protocol built on Solana, offering integrated services for trading, staking, farming, identity management, and governance. This course presents a detailed examination of how Saros operates, how its components are structured, and how users engage with the platform. Learners will gain practical understanding of Saros's architecture, token utility, and governance systems designed to support long-term protocol sustainability.

Bitcoin Layer-2s are solutions built on top of Bitcoin to help it scale, reduce costs, and unlock programmability without changing the base protocol. This course introduces the major Layer-2 architectures, how they work, and what trade-offs they involve.

This course introduces MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) as a critical challenge in blockchain systems and explores how SUAVE (Single Unifying Auction for Value Expression) offers a chain-agnostic, privacy-preserving, MEV-resistant execution environment. You'll learn how encrypted order-flow, universal auctions, and programmable execution combine to create a fairer and more efficient infrastructure.

Grass is a decentralized bandwidth-sharing protocol that compensates users for contributing their unused internet connection. This system supports public web data collection, which is then used in AI model training. The protocol is structured to ensure user privacy, efficient routing, and transparent reward mechanisms. Learners will understand how Grass transforms idle bandwidth into a structured data infrastructure through cryptographic verification, staking, and token-based incentives.

Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) allows a single Ethereum validator to be operated by multiple independent nodes, improving decentralization, fault tolerance, and uptime. This course introduces DVT in the context of Ethereum’s staking challenges and its growing role in modular blockchain infrastructure.

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.

Zero-knowledge proofs are transforming how blockchain applications handle computation, privacy, and scalability. This course explores ZK coprocessors, powerful off-chain engines that perform computation and generate cryptographic proofs, and the proof networks that deliver them to smart contracts. Learners will gain both foundational understanding and exposure to advanced tools and real-world use cases across DeFi, cross-chain messaging, and AI verification.

This course introduces a new frontier in decentralized finance—intent-based DeFi. Instead of rigid, transaction-based protocols, intent-based systems allow users to express what they want, not how to do it. By separating the “intent” from the “execution,” this approach improves UX, enables cross-chain interoperability, and opens doors to automated DeFi workflows.

Tokenized treasuries and on-chain bonds represent a transformative shift in how fixed-income instruments are issued, traded, and managed using blockchain technology. This course explains how these digital assets work, explores their legal and technical foundations, and shows how they bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

After gaining a foundational understanding of options in the beginner course, the intermediate course explores the fundamental strategies used in digital currency options trading. Starting with the most common single-leg contracts—call and put options, we will be explaining when to use each strategy and how to calculate the profit/loss (PNL) breakeven point. Through this course, you'll gain an insight into the different types of blockchain options products available on Gate, learning basic concepts related to options pricing from a mathematical perspective, and get introduced to the key risk management metrics known as the Greeks. By the end of the first two chapters, you'll be able to place simple options trades on the Gate platform and manage your risk effectively.

This course offers a complete understanding of how omnichain smart contracts and cross-chain messaging are shaping the next era of decentralised applications. You’ll explore the infrastructure, protocols, and practical implementation techniques that power seamless interactions across multiple blockchain networks.

This course introduces the concept of account abstraction and explains how it changes the way blockchain wallets and accounts work. You'll learn how programmable logic replaces traditional private-key control, unlocking more secure and user-friendly on-chain experiences.

In the fast-evolving cryptocurrency market, options are increasingly becoming indispensable tools for traders. Whether you're new to derivatives or have prior experience with options in traditional financial markets, this course provides a systematic foundation to help you navigate the unique threshold of crypto options. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of cryptocurrency options. Through this course, you'll gain insight into basic concepts such as contract elements, trading interfaces, rules of settlement at maturity, and the types of options available on the Gate platform. Our goal is to equip you with a solid theoretical foundation and practical framework. Let's begin your journey into the world of crypto options!

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.
