Guide to the Gate Boost Campaign on Abstract

Updated today

I. Campaign Overview and Core Rules

This Campaign includes the following:

  • Add liquidity to the GTBTC and GUSD-related liquidity pools to earn trading fees.

  • Add liquidity to the GTBTC and GUSD-related liquidity pools to obtain increased abstract XP and ecosystem badges.

  • Add liquidity to the GTBTC and GUSD-related liquidity pools through GateWallet to receive additional XP rewards.

  • Stake liquidity provider (LP) tokens on the Aborean official DApp to earn ABX governance tokens.

Eligible participants: Any GateDEX user or Aborean user who seeks multiple rewards through liquidity provision.

Wallet Types and Functions

  • Wallet used for liquidity operations (EOA wallet):

    • Users must create or import a wallet compatible with the Abstract mainnet via a third-party wallet plugin. This wallet is required for adding or removing liquidity on the relevant liquidity pool detail page of GateDEX, or when staking LP on the Aborean official site.

  • Wallet for receiving Abstract ecosystem rewards (AGW wallet):

    • The native wallet for the Abstract ecosystem, used for collecting rewards such as increased XP and exclusive badges. Users must link their operational wallet address to their AGW wallet address to ensure the Abstract community distributes the rewards to the correct AGW wallet. Prior to binding, users need to create an AGW wallet. For instructions, refer to the "Detailed Operation Steps" section below.

Types & Mechanisms of Rewards

1.Trading fee sharing

Users holding LP tokens (unstaked) accumulate trading fee rewards from the corresponding liquidity pool in real time, and can claim these rewards at any time.

2.$ABX Staking Incentive

When users stake LP tokens on the Aborean official DApp, accumulation of pool trading fees halts, and ABX rewards begin to accrue. Once the LP tokens are unstaked, trading fee accumulation resumes and ABX rewards cease.

3. increased XP and exclusive badges

The Abstract community will distribute these to your AGW wallet after the campaign, based on on-chain investment data in Aborean, and only if your operational wallet address is bound to your AGW wallet.

4. GateWallet exclusive additional rewards

Users providing liquidity with GateWallet will receive extra XP rewards in addition to the increased XP.

Applicable scenarios:

  • On the GateDEX App, navigate to the “Earn” section and add liquidity to pools designated by the Aborean protocol.

  • On the GateDEX web platform, use the GateWallet plugin to add liquidity to the designated pools.

Reward calculation:

  • Users receive extra rewards based on the liquidity value they add through GateWallet, in proportion to the total liquidity added with GateWallet by all users. Higher liquidity value results in higher additional rewards.

Important note

  • LP is in the form of NFTs.Each liquidity certificate is an indivisible NFT asset that only supports overall pledging and does not support partial pledging. If you hold multiple LP NFTs, you can choose to pledge one or more of them, but a single LP NFT must be pledged in its entirety or remain unpledged.

  • After successfully adding liquidity on the GateDEX web platform, a guide window will pop up for quick redirection to Aborean staking.

  • GateWallet exclusive rewards only count liquidity added via GateWallet: If the same EOA address is imported into multiple wallets plugin and used to add liquidity, only liquidity added through GateWallet will be included in the additional reward calculation.


II. Detailed Steps (Platform-Specific Instructions)

Preparation: Wallet creation and binding (essential)

1.Prepare an EOA wallet (GateWallet recommended):

  • To earn GateWallet-exclusive extra rewards, use GateWallet (plugin or app wallet client) as your operating wallet.

  • If you already have other EOA wallets (such as MetaMask), you can earn basic rewards, but not GateWallet-exclusive rewards.

  • Ensure your wallet holds sufficient GTBTC, GUSD, and a small amount of Abstract chain ETH for gas fees, and that Abstract Mainnet is added.

2. Create/connect an AGW wallet:

  • Visit the Abstract ecosystem portal: https://portal.abs.xyz/discover and select “Connect Wallet.”

  • Note: AGW wallet is independent from your EOA wallet; you must manage both separately.

3. Bind EOA wallet to AGW wallet (required):

  • Visit the official Abstract binding platform: https://delegate.abs.xyz .

  • Log in with your EOA address used to create the AGW wallet, bind the EOA wallet address you plan to use for operations, and follow prompts to sign with the EOA wallet.

  • Once successfully bound, the Abstract community can recognize on-chain actions from that EOA address and distribute rewards to the associated AGW wallet.

  • It’s recommended to complete binding before the campaign starts; the latest deadline is the campaign’s end, otherwise ecosystem rewards may not be received.

4. Acquire assets such as GTBTC, GUSD, USDC.e, and WETH on the Abstract network.


Step 1: Add liquidity to designated pools on GateDEX to obtain LP certificates

Step 2: Stake LP certificates (NFTs) on Aborean’s official DApp

Regardless of Gate web or app, LP staking is done on Aborean’s DApp.

1. Visit Aborean DApp

Open browser, enter Aborean DApp, connect the EOA wallet used for liquidity (for extra rewards, use GateWallet).

2. Check position info

On Aborean’s homepage or “My Positions” page, you’ll see liquidity just added on Gate. If not, refresh or wait (on-chain sync may take several minutes).

3. Enter LP details page

Select your position entry and enter its detail page.

4. Check earnings status

If LP is unstaked, the position page shows accumulated but unclaimed trading fees (from Gate liquidity pool). Fees can be claimed anytime on Aborean’s DApp or from GateDEX’s pool detail page.

5. Initiate staking

Click the "Stake" button. Sign the transaction in your EOA wallet.

Note: Since LP is NFT, only full NFT staking is supported; partial staking is not allowed. The system displays the NFT quantity (usually 1); you can only stake the entire NFT.

6. Verify staking status

After success, the detail page shows “Staked” status, trading fees pause, and $ABX starts accruing.During LP staking, $ABX rewards can be claimed anytime in Aborean.


Step 3: Unstake and resume trading fees

1.Enter the staked status LP detail page on Aborean.

Located on the official website of Aborean.

2. Click “Unstake”

As NFT, unstaking is also a full operation; partial unstaking is not allowed.

3. Confirm transaction in EOA wallet.

Accumulated but unclaimed $ABX will be claimed automatically.

4. After unstaking.

  • LP certificate returns to unstaked status, trading fees resume.

  • Fees can be checked and claimed on LP detail pages via GateDEX or Aborean.


Step 4: Wait for the end of the campaign and claim ecosystem rewards (increased XP + badges + GateWallet-exclusive extra XP)

1. No extra actions needed

During the campaign, as long as you hold LP certificates on Gate (staked or not), Aborean records your liquidity actions and associates them with your bound AGW wallet.

2. GateWallet-exclusive rewards are auto-counted

If you use GateWallet in GateDEX for all transactions (liquidity addition, staking etc.), the system auto-counts your valid LP value for extra XP calculations.

3. After the campaign ends

  • Basic increased XP: Automatically added to your AGW wallet account.

  • Exclusive badge: Airdropped as NFT to your AGW wallet (visible in Abstract ecosystem “Badge” page).

  • GateWallet-exclusive extra XP: Allocated according to the proportion of your valid LP value submitted via GateWallet in GateDEX to the total from all GateWallet users, and issued to your AGW wallet account.

    • Fee accumulation pauses while staked and resumes after unstaking.

  • Claim Methods:

    • Claim fees on the liquidity pool details page within GateDEX.

    • Claim fees on the position details page in the Aborean official DApp.

2. $ABX Staking Incentives

  • Allocation Mechanism: Generated in the $ABX emission pool and distributed proportionally according to the value of each staked LP.

  • Accumulation Conditions:

    • Begins accruing once an LP is successfully staked on Aborean. Stops accruing when the LP is unstaked.

  • Claim Methods:

    • Incentives can be claimed anytime from the position details page on the Aborean official site.

    • Any unclaimed $ABX incentives are automatically claimed when unstaking.

  • Scope: Only transaction amounts related to liquidity addition, staking, or other relevant operations submitted through GateWallet (extension wallet or app client) in GateDEX are counted, as defined by the Abstract community.

  • Calculation: Extra XP rewards are based on the proportion of valid LP value each user adds via GateWallet in GateDEX relative to the total from all GateWallet users. Higher liquidity value earns more extra rewards.

  • Distribution: Rewards are delivered along with base increased XP to the linked AGW wallet.

5. Liquidity Certificate (LP) Features :

  • Aborean liquidity certificates (LPs) are NFTs. Each LP NFT represents a single liquidity position and is indivisible.

Ⅳ. Risk Warning

  • Smart contract risk: Despite the audit of the agreement, DeFi still has potential vulnerabilities.

  • Market volatility risk: Providing liquidity may face unexpected losses.

  • Yield Uncertainty : The value of the $ABX reward depends on market performance, and the additional XP reward is determined by the Abstract community rules.

  • Official Channel: Make sure to enter the DApp through [official website], beware of fake websites.
