You've got a few techniques combined here, so I'm not sure which one you mean specifically or if you mean what are the steps to reproduce this entire look. First you've got text that is filled with a gradient. Then you've got a white stroke around the text and an additional gray stroke that has had the bottom points brought inward and extended downward to create a 3D effect. Then you have Effect > Warp > Arc Lower with a negative horizontal bend applied to make the curve on the baseline of the text. Is there a particular step you need help achieving? Maybe these will help:

• Here's one way to apply a gradient to text: Make Gradient Text in Illustrator and More
• Here's more info on adding strokes to text: How do I create an outline around text please
• I'd probably duplicate the text and draw a rectangle around the lower parts of the letter shapes and combine them all with the Shape Builder Tool for the gray part. Here's more info on the Shape Builder Tool: How to create shapes using the Shape Builder tool in Illustrator
• Here's a video on the arc part How to Warp Text in Adobe Illustrator - YouTube
