Gate 13th Anniversary: Thirteen Years of Transformation and the Road to Smart Web3

Thirteen years ago, in 2013, Dr. Han Lin made a decision that would reshape the cryptocurrency landscape. Leaving behind a promising academic career in optoelectronics, he chose to pursue a vision that, at the time, was little understood. Bitcoin and blockchain were concepts far from mainstream adoption, but that uncertainty became the foundation on which Gate was built.

From a single founder working through cold winter nights to a global organization with nearly 3,000 professionals serving more than 50 million registered users, Gate’s journey shows what can be achieved with conviction and patience. The platform now supports trading more than 4,500 digital assets and consistently ranks among the top global exchanges for spot and futures trading volume.

This anniversary marks not only a milestone, but also a transition. The industry has grown from narrative-driven speculation toward infrastructure-driven value creation. Gate has positioned itself at the forefront of this change through significant investments in Smart Web3, where the team dedicates months to intensive development to deliver advanced AI-based solutions. The platform is also expanding its multi-asset financial ecosystem, introducing TradFi trading zones that connect traditional finance with digital assets through tokenized stocks and commodities.

This 13th-anniversary celebration, themed "Your Gateway to iWeb3," brings together online and offline events designed to encourage global connectivity and industry dialogue. Dr. Han will take part in live broadcast conversations with users and partners, sharing insights from more than a decade of navigating market cycles and technology disruptions. The celebration also includes major industry gatherings such as Paris Blockchain Week and Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, strengthening Gate’s commitment to developing a collaborative ecosystem.
