Founder of the Gate: Opening the Future of Encryption for Twelve Years

Dear users and partners:

Twelve years ago, I took my first step towards founding the platform with a passion and curiosity for the encryption world. Today, I am honored to announce that we have completed twelve years and have undergone a brand upgrade, officially adopting the new Chinese name "Gate".

Reflecting on this challenging journey, our growth is inseparable from the strong support and unwavering trust of everyone. "Twelve Cycles of Reincarnation", we will embrace the new cycle with a more open attitude and a firmer belief, ushering in the next era of the Web3 world.

Open the Door to Free Finance

Twelve years ago, we opened a door to free finance, creating opportunities for innovators, explorers, and builders in the encryption industry. In 2013, the encryption industry was still in its early stages, and with a belief in blockchain technology and an expectation for a decentralized future, we were determined to build a secure, transparent, and fair digital asset trading platform. Today, we have developed into one of the world's leading encryption ecosystem platforms.

During this journey, we have experienced the ups and downs of the industry and endured countless trials. We grew rapidly during the bull market and remained true to our original intention during the bear market; continuously expanding our business territory, from centralized trading to a decentralized ecosystem, from infrastructure construction to venture capital, each step has been solid and determined. We are not just an exchange; we are a "safe harbor" trusted by global encryption users and a thriving blockchain ecosystem.

The Path to Success in Twelve Years

Innovation-driven, daring to be the first.

From the quietly launched Bit儿 by a small studio to today's grand entrance, we have always maintained a spirit of innovation. My personal love for technology and spirit of exploration have been cultivated since childhood, and this awareness of innovation has permeated the entire development process of the platform.

We are always at the forefront of the industry, continuously launching new products and technologies, from the earliest all-in-one wallets, live broadcasts, squares, and chat rooms, to later quantitative robots and innovation zones. Innovation is not just a slogan; it is our daily habit and the driving force that propels the platform forward.

Safety first, proceed steadily

In this industry full of opportunities and risks, safeguarding user asset security and ensuring a stable and reliable trading experience has always been our core mission. We were the first to propose and open source the Merkle tree reserve proof method, advocating for increased transparency in the industry.

We adhere to the philosophy of "safety first, user-oriented" and continuously invest resources to build a multi-layered security system, including cold wallet management, multi-signature, real-time risk control early warning, and a global security team monitoring mechanism around the clock. We believe that the establishment of long-term value stems from a steadfast commitment to security and prudent operations.

Cross development, steady growth

Over the past twelve years, we have experienced the "Great Wilderness Era" of blockchain and witnessed the prosperity of DeFi Summer. We have gradually grown into a globally leading encryption cryptocurrency exchange, from the traffic dividend of the "startup phase", to the technology-driven "innovation phase", and now to the "steady phase" of market expansion and strategic layout.

Our achievements include: the number of users reaching tens of millions, the number of listed cryptocurrencies exceeding 3,800, and our comprehensive strength firmly ranking in the top tier globally. Our total reserves have surpassed $10.328 billion, the platform token has reached a historic high, and its market value ranking has jumped into the global top 40. Our Launchpool and HODLer Airdrop continue to bring substantial returns to users.

Comprehensive upgrade of the ecosystem, creating a diverse one-stop experience.

Over the past year, our ecosystem has continuously expanded and upgraded, fully covering major sectors of Web3. We support nearly 200 mainstream public chains and were the first to launch Mini App in the TON ecosystem, with over a million monthly active users. We introduced the innovative MemeBox 2.0, which combines the efficiency and convenience of CEX with the asset diversity of DEX. We also continuously optimize the global payment network, constantly expanding deposit and withdrawal channels.

At the same time, our investment department continues to make strategic investments globally, focusing on high-quality Web3 projects and other cutting-edge fields, and has laid out several high-quality projects with long-term potential.

Promote global layout and implement forward-looking strategies.

We always uphold a global perspective and continuously enhance our international influence through strategic partnerships with top global brands such as Inter Milan and the F1 Red Bull Racing team. Our layout and investment in compliance rank among the top in the world, achieving compliance arrangements in multiple major regions.

We are committed to providing users with a safe and reliable trading environment, continuously attracting outstanding talents from around the world to drive technological innovation, product optimization, and market expansion, ensuring we maintain a leading position in the highly competitive encryption industry.

Looking to the Future

As an important milestone, the twelfth anniversary also marks a new starting point. We look forward to opening the "door" to a new era for global users, welcoming a more open and intelligent encryption future. We are comprehensively upgrading our brand and redefining our future direction— not just a trading platform, but a "super entrance" linking the real world and the blockchain world.

In the future, we will:

• Deepen the Web3.0 layout and accelerate the application of decentralized technology.
• Expand global markets and strengthen compliance layout.
• Adhere to a balanced approach of technology-driven and ecological construction.
• Build a team culture with global competitiveness
• Strengthen cooperation and co-construction within the industry
• Promote cross-border cooperation and global dialogue

Twelve years of storms and unity, thank you to all users, partners, and team members for your companionship and support along the way. Twelve years ago, we knocked on the door to the encryption world; twelve years later, we stand before the door, seeing a broader future. In the next twelve years, we will not only "open the door" but also walk together into a true encryption new era. The door is open, the future has arrived, let us work hand in hand to continue writing this great journey!
