1. Live Presentation on Youtube.

The Gate.io Team has now been operating for 6 years.

Our vision is enabling traders to have the best possible user experience, and our technical team is always working on new things to go above and beyond what is typically asked of a cryptocurrency exchange.

For the past 6 months, we’ve been very focused on providing our users with the full set of financial tools so as to help them maximize their returns, and these features have been met with rampant en-thusiasm and shared profits all around.

The innovation we’re bringing to the industry will be groundbreaking, our role in industry trends like that of no other exchange, but most importantly, it will be getting us one step closer to our blockchain vision, and our values of transparency and integrity.

Tune into our live presentation on Youtube on Monday April 1st 2019 at 10:00 A.M. in London / 1:00 P.M. in Moscow / 6:00 P.M. in Beijing

2. Our Principles and Ranking in the Industry

Gate.io has always adhered to the principles of Security, Transparency and Honor, and provide us-ers with the best service with strong technical strength and a security focus. Our crypto-currency transactions, leveraged wealth management, fiat currency transactions, fiat currency lending, and perpetual contract features have become popular, and we strive to be one of the world’s leading service providers.

We do not charge a/ listing fee, never washed the transaction volume, and we have even hired a third-party authority to monitor the platform in real time to observe any trading abnormalities. To this end, we have won a large number of user’s recognition and industry reputation, giving us a firm basis to enter the ranks of the world’s top blockchain exchanges.

3. Our Recent Achievements

We are very proud of our recent achievements:

Our Perpetual Contracts feature has only been launched for 4 months, but we’ve already achieved an average daily trading volume in tens of millions of dollars despite the high risk control standards we impose on users margin, making us one of the world’s leading sustainable trading platforms for perpetual contracts.

Leveraged wealth management was only launched 6 months ago, but we’ve since then become one of the world’s largest virtual currency P2P lending platforms. The total amount of virtual currency borrowed exceeds $4.5 billion and has created nearly $10 million financial income for users.

Gate.io is one of the most active OTC/C2C fiat currency trading platforms in the world, providing users with tens of millions of dollars of fiat currency peer-to-peer transactions every day.

Gate.io is the world’s most active Blockchain asset-for-money lending platform. It provides thou-sands of users with no-casual risk fiat currency lending services (the platform bears the risk of tan-dem warehouses). There is currently no handling fee.

The Gate.io mobile app has reached 2 million users and is one of the most active mobile app soft-ware in the industry.

4. The POINT Sys. for Service Fees

For a long time, Gate.io has granted users with a VIP rating based on the user’s recent transaction volume. Users can enjoy a transaction fee discount according to their VIP rating.

In order to further reduce user’s transaction costs, increase users’ loyalty, and reward Gate.io platform users, we are officially launching a new POINT Sys.. Users can get further handling fee discounts by purchasing a prepaid plan.

With Gate.io POINT Sys., 1 point equals 1USDT fee. Starting from May 2019, fees incurred when placing a trading order will be deducted by POINT. In the future, POINT can also be used to deduct Fiat trading and margin trading fees.

Before June, points can be transferred to other users. After that, points cannot be transferred and the purchased points can only be used by the same account accordingly. Once purchased, the points cannot be returned.

5. Gatechain

GateChain is an innovative public chain focused on secure storage and value exchange of block-chain assets. With an original online hot insurance account, the clearing guarantee creatively solves threat of the user’s digital assets stolen and the loss of the private key, decentralized transac-tions, cross-chain transfer and other core issues. For a detailed introduction: https://gatechain.io

6. The Gatechain Token (GT)

At the same time, we will award 300 million GT (Gatechain Token) to users in the initial stage of the POINT launch.

GT is the base currency of Gatechain’s public chain (although the main network is not online yet), supporting the infrastructure of the Gatechain public chain.

GT is the main network fuel of Gatechain, paying the network transfer fee. Gatechain encourages GT holders to protect the network health through PoS equity mining. Gate.io will also adopt GT as part of its eco.

GT Total Supply and Distribution

The initial amount of GT distributed will be 300 million, out of a total amount of 1 billion distribut-ed over 10 years. The distribution plan will be the following:

  • 300 million GT (30%) distributed to Gate.io users
  • 200 million GT (20%) research & development (locked 12 months and release linearly over 10 years)
  • 100 million GT (10%) used for marketing promotion and expanding foundation (locked 3 months and release linearly over 10 years)
  • 200 million (20%) Community development foundation (locked 12 months and release linearly over 10 years)
  • 200 million (20%) Main network PoS mining or holding reward with 2.5% increasing rate to pro-tect healthy network operation

7. GT Benefits and Eco

8. The GT Safety and Law Fund

Gate.io will establish a security legal fund:
Gate.io has experienced hundreds of judicial cases and judicial investigations related to Blockchain security in the past few years, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. With extensive experience in technology tracking and judicial processing, Gate.io understand the importance of the security legal to the Blockchain industry.
