In this interview with Wu Blockchain founder Colin Wu, Gate Exchange founder Han Lin shared his entrepreneurial journey, platform strategic evolution, and industry insights.

在接受WU區塊鏈創始人Colin Wu的採訪中，Gate Exchange創始人Han Lin分享了他的創業旅程，平台戰略進化和行業見解。

After earning a PhD in Optoelectronics from Canada, Han returned to China to start a business. In 2013, while trying to buy 13999 BTC, he was scammed and lost $2,000.

在從加拿大獲得光電學博士學位後，韓回到中國開展業務。 2013年，在試圖購買13999 BTC的同時，他被騙，損失了2,000美元。

In the early years of his startup, he completed almost all development work independently. He also noted that compliance has high short-term costs and low returns, but is ultimately necessary.

在他的創業初期，他幾乎獨立完成了所有開發工作。他還指出，合規性具有很高的短期成本和較低的回報，但最終是必要的。

Furthermore, Han is very interested in the Hong Kong market and is considering rearranging applications for relevant licenses. He is investing in related fields, such as supporting chip companies for ZK to enhance computing efficiency.

此外，韓對香港市場非常感興趣，並正在考慮重新安排相關許可的應用程序。他正在對相關領域進行投資，例如支持芯片公司以提高計算效率。

The company's asset reserves are mainly in Bitcoin and Ethereum, and there are currently no obvious cyclical patterns. Han is relatively optimistic about this year's trends.

該公司的資產儲備主要用於比特幣和以太坊，目前尚無明顯的周期性模式。漢對今年的趨勢相對樂觀。

Most of his time is still spent on technology and products, and he hopes everyone remains grounded and not too impetuous, avoiding shortcuts and overtaking on curves.

他的大部分時間仍然花在技術和產品上，他希望每個人都保持紮根，不要太浮躁，避免了捷徑和彎曲。

PhD in Optoelectronics from Canada, scammed when first exposed to Bitcoin

來自加拿大的光電學博士學位，首次接觸比特幣時被騙了

Colin: I remember you initially studied at Shandong University for both your bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and then pursued a PhD in Canada. What was your major?

科林：我記得您最初在山東大學學習了學士學位和碩士學位，然後在加拿大獲得博士學位。你的專業是什麼？

Han Lin: I studied electronics; my undergraduate major was Electronic Science and Technology. I was later recommended to pursue graduate studies and then went to Canada for a PhD in Optoelectronics.

漢林：我研究了電子設備；我的本科專業是電子科學技術。後來，我被建議從事研究生學習，然後去加拿大獲得光電學博士學位。

Colin: Did you start your entrepreneurial journey right after graduating with your PhD?

科林：您是否在畢業後開始了企業家旅行？

Han Lin: After graduating, I did a postdoc in Canada for a year and then returned to China to start a business. At that time, I had some research results that I thought could be applied in the industry, so I founded a company to develop optoelectronic simulation software, later shifting to high-performance computing.

漢林：畢業後，我在加拿大做了一年的博士後，然後回到中國開展業務。當時，我有一些我認為可以在行業中應用的研究結果，因此我成立了一家公司來開發光電仿真軟件，後來又轉移到了高性能計算。

Colin: What prompted you to enter the virtual asset industry? There are reports mentioning that you were scammed early on?

科林：是什麼促使您進入虛擬資產行業？有報導提到您很早就被騙了嗎？

Han Lin: While working in high-performance computing, I needed to use graphics cards and found that many people were using them to mine Bitcoin, so I began researching the Bitcoin white paper. Due to my technical background, I quickly understood the technical value of Bitcoin and developed a strong personal interest. Later, when I tried to buy Bitcoin on forums (like Bitcointalk), I was scammed and lost about $2,000.

Han Lin：在高性能計算工作時，我需要使用圖形卡，發現許多人使用它們來開採比特幣，所以我開始研究比特幣白皮書。由於我的技術背景，我很快了解了比特幣的技術價值，並產生了強烈的個人興趣。後來，當我試圖在論壇上購買比特幣（如BitCointalk）時，我被騙了，損失了約2,000美元。

Colin: At that time, how much was 100 bitcoins worth?

科林：當時，價值100比特幣的價值？

Han Lin: The total price was about 3,000 Canadian dollars (equivalent to over 2,000 US dollars).

漢林：總價約為3,000加元（相當於2,000美元以上）。

From Chips to Exchanges: Heavy Asset Model is Limited, Trading Platforms Light Assets and Self-Controlled

從籌碼到交易所：重型資產模型有限，交易平台輕資產和自控

Colin: With your background in electronics, did you also participate in mining? Why didn't you continue to develop in the mining or chip field?

科林：在您的電子產品背景下，您還參加了採礦嗎？您為什麼不繼續在採礦或芯片場中發展？

Han Lin: I did participate in chip design and mining machine manufacturing. In 2013, we purchased a batch of Avalon chips and attempted to design mining machines, but later realized the issues in the chip industry: the heavy asset model is greatly restricted by the supply chain, with long procurement and production cycles and high uncertainty.

漢林：我確實參加了芯片設計和採礦機製造。 2013年，我們購買了一批Avalon芯片，並試圖設計採礦機，但後來意識到了芯片行業的問題：重型資產模型受供應鏈的極大限制，供應鍊長期採購和生產週期和高不確定性。

In contrast, trading platforms operate on a light asset model, where all processes (like wallet deployment, trading systems, deposit and withdrawal functions) can be implemented through software, allowing for greater autonomy. Therefore, I shifted my focus to trading platforms.

相比之下，交易平台以輕型資產模型運行，在該模型中，所有流程（例如錢包部署，交易系統，存款和提款功能）都可以通過軟件實現，從而允許更大的自主權。因此，我將重點轉移到了交易平台上。

Colin: When was the Gate trading platform launched?

科林：何時推出門交易平台？

Han Lin: It officially launched in April 2013. At that time, there were very few global trading platforms, mainly concentrated in Taiwan, Japan (like Mt. Gox), and Russia (like BTC-e). There were very few teams in mainland China; I remember only BitChina.

Han Lin：它於2013年4月正式推出。當時，很少有全球交易平台，主要集中在日本台灣（例如Gox山）和俄羅斯（例如BTC-E）。中國大陸的球隊很少。我記得只有比奇納。

Colin: What was the reason for Gate's rebranding in 2017? Was it related to regulatory policies?

科林：2017年門更名的原因是什麼？它與監管政策有關嗎？

Han Lin: In 2013, domestic policies were relatively friendly, and CCTV reported on Bitcoin payment scenarios (like buying coffee and clothes). However, as the price of Bitcoin rose from $20-30 at the beginning of the year to over $1,000 by the end of the year, regulatory policies tightened.

漢林：2013年，國內政策相對友好，閉路電視報導了比特幣支付方案（例如購買咖啡和衣服）。但是，隨著比特幣的價格從年初的20-30美元上漲到年底到年底的1,000美元以上，監管政策的收緊了。

Therefore, we moved our entity overseas and began global operations.

因此，我們將實體移動到海外並開始全球運營。

Spot-First Strategy: Early Bets on Innovative Assets, Contract Business Progressed Conservatively Due to Risks

現貨優先戰略：對創新資產的早期下注，合同業務由於風險而保守

Colin: Gate is characterized by its strong spot business, while the contract business is not a focus compared to other exchanges. How is the overall strategy considered?

Colin：Gate的特徵是其強大的現貨業務，而與其他交易所相比，合同業務並不是重點。總體策略如何考慮？

Han Lin: This is related to historical background. When we initially built the trading platform, I personally preferred new technologies, so we launched a large number of innovative assets. For example, in 2013, we were the first to list "Dogecoin" and

漢林：這與歷史背景有關。當我們最初建立交易平台時，我個人更喜歡新技術，因此我們推出了大量創新資產。例如，在2013年，我們是第一個列出“ Dogecoin”和
