#Gate13thAnniversaryLive
More than just an exchange 💙
Gate has transformed into an ecosystem that touches everything from the altcoins in my wallet to my AI bot in 13 years. This year's 13th-anniversary celebration, which began on April 9th and will run until May 27th, perfectly encapsulates this: "Your Gateway to iWeb3". It's not a classic discount event, but a vibrant festival spread over two months.
We started with "Early Bird Boarding" on April 9th. As soon as we logged in, task boxes, coupons, and GT rewards dropped. On the night of April 20th, the main broadcast took place with the Blue Carpet ceremony at K11 MUSEA, Hong Kong. Dr. Han Lin explained how they reached 51 million users, and over 300 founders and regulators spoke without cameras in the same hall. Throughout late April and May, the Gate Gala 13 dinner, university gatherings continued in parallel with Paris Blockchain Week and Hong Kong Web3 Carnival.
Three details that surprised me the most:
1. A scene that goes beyond finance
A Gate x Red Bull F1 exhibition was set up in Hong Kong. The fastest lappers in the simulation were invited to the VIP Gala. The moment we stepped from the stock market onto the track, the word "participant" gained meaning.
2. A league system, not a prize system
WCTC S8 came with an 8 million USDT pool this year. Pre-registration is April 14-23, the main race is April 23-May 20. Spot, futures, and copy trading are separate leagues. There are also individual prizes of up to 100,000 USDT in the Futures Carnival for low-volume users. Some said the tasks were difficult, but more than 120,000 accounts have already registered in the first week.
3. AI is no longer a side menu, it's the main product
A signal engine that performs multi-chain arbitrage and real-time sentiment analysis with one click using GateClaw and GateRouter was introduced. With a 125% reserve ratio, the emphasis on "Smart Finance" is clear: Liquidity is now managed by AI agents.
This 49-day celebration isn't a stock exchange birthday, but rather a way of showing the hinges of the door opening to iWeb3. It will end on May 27th, but the message is clear: 13 years is not an end, it's a beginning.
As a user, I too have walked through that door. I eagerly await the next 13 years.
