#Gate13周年 Thirteen years of walking together through wind and rain, may you always be that open door.

Thirteen years ago, when blockchain was still an uncharted wilderness, a small site called Bit儿 quietly launched, becoming one of the earliest explorers' footholds.
At that time, there was no noise, no crowds, only a group of people who believed in "decentralization," silently coding behind the scenes, matching orders.
Thirteen years later, that small site changed its name—Gate.
The name changed, but the door remained open.
From Bit儿 to Gate.io, and now to the grand entrance today, each renaming is not a farewell but an opening of a bigger door.
50 million users have come in, 4,500 assets found markets here, Bitcoin reserve rate 147%, total reserve rate 122%—behind these numbers is a thirteen-year unwavering promise: I will safeguard your assets for you.
In these thirteen years, the industry has experienced too much.
Bull market celebrations, bear winter, regulatory waves, technological iterations...
How many platforms have vanished in cycles, how many names have been forgotten.
And Gate chose the hardest path—not chasing quick gains, but aiming for the long term.
Dr. Han said in an open letter: "We are committed to building something enduring."
This phrase sounds simple, but in an industry that chases hot topics every day, the determination to last is itself a form of courage.
This year's anniversary theme is "Your Gateway to iWeb3," and this is not just a slogan but a direction.
AI is reshaping how trading is done, TradFi is bridging traditional and digital boundaries, Web3 is moving from concept to daily life.
Gate has not stood on the sidelines watching—GateAI, Gate for AI, GateRouter, GateClaw, these names are not product lists but signposts to the future.
The partnership with Red Bull Racing is not just a brand collaboration; it symbolizes an attitude: on the track, speed and stability are equally important.
What I want to say most is the things not in the press releases—customer service still replying to user messages at 3 a.m., every piece of feedback and complaint taken seriously, systems that didn't crash during crashes, assets protected securely every time.
Thirteen years, Gate's greatest achievement is not size or ranking, but trust.
Trust is the most valuable asset, and also the most fragile—it takes thirteen years to build, but only a second to collapse.
And Gate has held it.
As a user registered for 2803 days, I have watched Gate transform from a "sufficient" platform to a "user-friendly" one, and now to a "desired" platform.
The threshold for VIP1 is low, but it means I chose to stay.
Staying because I believe this door will not close.
For the thirteenth anniversary, I send my best wishes:
May you continue to be that door in the next cycle—limitless, fearless, open.
May every iteration bring more people in, rather than pushing old users out.
May "lasting" be more than just words in an open letter, but a daily practice.
Thirteen years, for an industry, is already a long history.
But for a door, thirteen years is just the beginning of being pushed open.
Happy birthday, Gate🎉🎉🎉🌹🌹🌹
The door is still open, and we are still here ❤️❤️❤️
