The most knowledgeable about how to prevent scams are those who have been scammed

#Gate 13th Anniversary

Dr. Han Lin was scammed out of more than $2,000, and this later became the security DNA of Gate.

Why did Gate start promoting two-factor authentication as early as 2014? Why did it research hardware wallets combined with biometric identification in 2015? Why did it take the lead in providing 100% reserve proof in 2020? The answer is simple: because the founders themselves are victims. They know what it feels like to be scammed and understand how much trust users place when depositing money on a platform.

Han Lin once said in an interview: “Many technical details of security are very boring, and many platforms would rather use slogans to package themselves. But we choose to clearly explain and make things transparent to users.” This is not just a business strategy but an ingrained obsession rooted in personal experience.

Over the past 13 years, Gate has experienced countless hacker attacks, industry doubts about reserves after the FTX collapse, and users’ anxiety over security amid market booms and busts. But Gate’s tokens have always been there. For exchanges run by scam victims, security is written into the very first line of code.
