#Gate13thAnniversaryLive
Thirteen years. That is not just a milestone that is a legacy built one trade, one listing, and one user at a time. Gate, founded in 2013 by Dr. Han Lin, has grown from a small digital asset exchange into one of the world's most comprehensive crypto ecosystems, and in April 2026, the platform is celebrating its 13th anniversary with a global campaign that reflects just how far it has come.
The theme for this year's anniversary is "Your Gateway to iWeb3" a statement of vision that goes beyond trading. Gate is not simply a crypto exchange in 2026. It is a full-spectrum Web3 platform covering spot trading, derivatives, DeFi, on-chain tools, structured products, copy trading, and institutional services. The 13th anniversary celebration captures that evolution across every product line.
Here is what is live right now for the anniversary period. The WCTC Season 8 Global Trading Competition is running with a prize pool of up to $8 million USD, open to traders of all levels with upgraded competition formats and ecosystem incentives. The Gate DEX 13th Anniversary event titled "New World Explorers" is live from April 15 through May 27, featuring a 69,300 USDT prize pool distributed to participants who complete on-chain tasks via Gate Wallet. The 13th Anniversary Invitation Celebration runs through April 20 at 12:00 UTC+8, rewarding users who bring friends onto the platform. A special 13th Anniversary ETF Event has also gone live, offering a 13x reward multiplier and access to an 80,000 USDT shared prize pool.
Beyond the numbers and prize pools, what makes 13 years remarkable is the consistency. Gate has survived multiple market cycles, regulatory shifts, exchange collapses, and industry-wide crises and emerged stronger each time. Its commitment to proof-of-reserves, user fund transparency, and continuous product development has made it a platform that millions of users return to not because they have to, but because they trust it.
Dr. Han's open letter for the 13th anniversary reflects on the founding vision: to make crypto accessible, transparent, and powerful for every type of user from the first-time trader to the institutional desk. That vision has not changed. What has changed is the capability to deliver on it at global scale.
To every Gate user who has been part of this journey whether for 13 years or 13 days the anniversary belongs to you. Participate in the live events, explore the new products, and be part of what comes next. The next chapter of Web3 is being written, and Gate is at the center of it.
