#DrHan2025YearEndOpenLetter As 2026 begins, we step through the Damen—the Grand Gate of Gate.io—into a new era of crypto innovation, inclusivity, and opportunity. This is more than a platform update or a milestone; it’s a commitment to redefining what a crypto ecosystem can be in the Web3 age.

Twelve years of trust, security, and resilience have laid the foundation. Gate.io has pioneered Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) PoR, strengthened global compliance frameworks, and empowered users to maintain autonomy while navigating complex markets. These achievements are not endpoints—they are stepping stones toward the future.
The Damen vision is about building, connecting, and enabling:
• A bridge between centralized and decentralized finance through the Gate Web3 Wallet.
• Support for creators, builders, and innovators via grants, tools, and ecosystem exposure.
• Seamless access to DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, and on-chain tools, lowering barriers to entry for all users.
Dr. Lin Han’s words capture the essence:
“Twelve years ago, we knocked on the door of the crypto world. Today, we are opening that door wide for everyone.”
2026 is the year to embrace transparency over uncertainty, accessibility over limitation, and innovation over stagnation. The Damen is not just a vision—it is a gateway where the next generation of decentralized applications, financial systems, and global communities come alive.
The gate is open. Step through. Build. Explore. Innovate. The future begins here.
