The founder of Gate, Dr. Han, proposed in the 2025 year-end open letter that "a Gate App connects the complete digital economic life" as the core goal for the platform's next phase towards Web3. He pointed out that the industry's focus is shifting from short-term price fluctuations to the robustness of platforms, asset transparency, and long-term ecological capabilities. With significant improvements in blockchain performance, cross-chain capabilities, and user experience, Web3 is gradually integrating into real scenarios such as investment, wealth management, payment, and asset management, rather than being just a tool for a few technical users.This judgment is also based on Gate's actual achievements over the past year. Data shows that Gate's spot trading volume and liquidity rank second globally, while contract trading volume and overall strength remain in the top three worldwide; in terms of asset security, as of the latest reserve report, Gate's reserve ratio exceeds the industry average and is one of the platforms with the most publicly disclosed reserve coin types in the industry. Gate continues to bridge on-chain and off-chain infrastructure, advancing the high-performance Layer 2 network Gate Layer, on-chain applications, and wealth management system construction, while simultaneously expanding its global compliance layout and brand influence. To achieve this goal, Gate will increase talent investment in 2026, establish leading incentive and bonus mechanisms for core and key positions, and recruit top talent globally, working together to integrate Web3 into daily life in a more "seamless yet real" manner through more robust products and infrastructure construction.
