General

What is Gatevia?
Gatevia is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) that supports Spot trading, Spot AMM Pools, Mining Pools, Staking Pools, and community-driven coin listings.
Does Gatevia require KYC?
No. Standard trading does not require KYC. However, Gatevia reserves the right to request verification in cases of suspicious account activity or manual account recovery.
Is Gatevia a custodial exchange?
Yes. Assets held on Gatevia are maintained within the exchange's account and balance system until withdrawn by the user.
Which cryptocurrencies are supported?
Gatevia supports native blockchain coins as well as tokens on supported networks (e.g., ERC20, BEP20), depending on the specific listing.

Spot Trading

What is Spot Trading?
Spot Trading is a traditional order book market where buyers and sellers place orders. Trades occur only when buy and sell orders match.
How is the Spot price determined?
The Last Price reflects the most recent completed trade on the Spot market. Market prices are not manually set by Gatevia; completed trades result from matching orders.
Does Gatevia create fake trading volume?
No. Displayed trading volume is calculated from executed trades. Creating a pool, displaying an order or running a simulation does not itself create executed volume.
Can anyone create trading activity?
Market participants can place orders, but trading activity is created only when orders execute. Higher activity may result in tighter spreads and more available liquidity, although this is not guaranteed.

Deposits, Withdrawals & Transfers

How do deposits and withdrawals work?
Deposits are fully automated. Withdrawals are processed automatically in 99% of cases. However, if the system detects an anomaly or a withdrawal exceeds the limit for a specific cryptocurrency, it will require manual approval by our staff.
What should I check before making a deposit?
Users must ensure they are using the correct blockchain network and meet the minimum deposit requirements to avoid permanent loss of funds:
What are Redeem Codes?
Redeem Codes allow you to transfer coins to another user. The generated code is private unless you share it.
  • 1. Generate: Funds are deducted from your balance to create a unique code.
  • 2. Share: Send the code to the recipient. It is a one-time voucher.
  • 3. Receive: The recipient gets the funds in their account.
  • 4. Cancel & Refund: If a code is still active, you can cancel it using the trash icon and have the funds returned to your balance.

Spot AMM Liquidity Pools

What is a Spot AMM Pool on Gatevia?
A Spot AMM Pool uses the BASE and QUOTE assets assigned to it to calculate a strategy of buy and sell price levels. Gatevia represents those levels as ordinary LIMIT orders placed in the selected Spot order book. Trades occur only when those orders match opposing orders through the usual Spot matching process.
Does an AMM Pool execute swaps directly against a separate pool?
No. This Gatevia feature does not execute instant swaps against a separate smart-contract pool. It places normal Spot LIMIT orders using the pool's available reserves and settings. As a result, pool orders interact with the Spot order book.
Do executed AMM orders count toward Spot trading volume?
Yes. When a pool order is filled, it creates a real executed Spot trade and is treated as Spot trading activity. Creating a pool, running a simulation or leaving an unfilled order in the book does not itself create trading volume.
How are pool prices determined?
The strategy calculates discrete order levels from the pool's current BASE and QUOTE reserves using a constant-product curve concept (x × y = k). The market's price tick, minimum order rules and existing opposing orders can affect the final prices and whether every planned level can be placed. The pool does not guarantee a market price or that any order will be filled.
Can Spot prices and the pool's reference price differ?
Yes. The pool's order levels are calculated from its own reserves and settings, while executed Spot prices come from matched orders in the order book. The two can differ, and live orders may be adjusted to comply with market rules and avoid crossing existing opposing orders.
Can I add liquidity or close a pool?
You can add BASE, QUOTE or both from your available Spot balance. When closing a pool, Gatevia requests cancellation of its open LIMIT orders and returns the current remaining reserves to your available Spot balance. The returned quantities may differ from the original deposit because trades can change the reserves.
How do AMM fees work?
An executed AMM order pays the market's normal Spot trading fee. The AMM fee is allocated according to Gatevia's configured operator, pool and exchange percentages. Eligible accrued operator and pool fee shares can be claimed to your available Spot balance; fee shares are tracked separately and are not added to the pool's working reserves. The other participant still pays their own applicable normal Spot fee.
Important: A Spot AMM Pool does not guarantee fills, fee income or profit. Simulation is a preview based on current conditions; the live order book may change before a pool is created or its settings are updated.
For more detail, consult the dedicated Spot AMM Pools – How It Works guide.

Listings

How can I list my coin?
Submit a Listing Application through the Gatevia dashboard. Every project is manually reviewed before approval.
Is there an application fee?
No. Submitting a listing application is free. Listing fees are payable only after approval.
What listing methods are available?
Gatevia currently supports Immediate Listing and Community Crowdfunding.
What is Community Crowdfunding?
Instead of paying the listing fee directly, the community can collectively fund the listing. If the funding goal is reached before the campaign expires, the coin is listed. If it fails, all contributions are refunded.
Security Note: Upon approval, our team will contact you exclusively from support@gatevia.io to guide you through the secure deployment process.

API & Market Data

What is base_volume vs quote_volume?
  • base_volume: Total amount of the base asset traded (e.g., 350 VECO).
  • quote_volume: Total traded value in the quote asset (e.g., 0.82 LTC).
The old volume field is retained only for backward compatibility. New integrations should always use base and quote volumes.
How are API requests authenticated?
Private API requests require an API Key, Nonce, and an HMAC-SHA256 Signature.
Why might third-party sites show incorrect volume?
Gatevia publishes both base and quote volumes. If an external tracker incorrectly interprets these fields, the displayed volume may be inaccurate. We cannot control how external websites parse our public API data.
How are 24h High/Low and Last Price calculated?
They are calculated from completed trades during the previous 24 hours. The Last Price is the price of the most recent completed trade.

Security & Administration

Who can request a delisting?
The official project team may request a delisting. Gatevia may require ownership verification before processing the request.
What happens when a coin is delisted?
Trading and deposits are disabled. Withdrawals remain available until the announced deadline. After wallet decommissioning, remaining balances may no longer be recoverable.
Are all projects automatically listed?
No. Every submission is manually reviewed by our staff before approval.
Verified Official Staff (Discord)
Beware of impersonators. Gatevia staff will never ask for your private keys or passwords.
