In the cryptocurrency industry, founders with a technical background often stand out for their deep professional background and profound understanding of the industry. Just like Xu Mingxing, the founder of OKX, and Zhao Changpeng, the founder of Binance, Han Lin, the founder of Gate.io, is also a typical representative in this field. Turning from academic research to crypto entrepreneurship, Han Lin not only wrote the early core code of Gate.io, but also led the exchange from a niche platform to one of the world's leading cryptocurrency trading platforms. Recently, during the Hong Kong Consensus Conference, Han Lin accepted an exclusive interview with PANews, sharing his mental journey from behind the scenes to the front stage, as well as his deep insights into the future development of the industry.

在加密貨幣行業中，具有技術背景的創始人通常會扮演他​​們深厚的專業背景和對行業的深刻理解。就像Xu Mingxing一樣，OKX的創始人和Bate.io的創始人Han Lin的創始人Zhao Changpeng也是該領域的典型代表。從學術研究轉變為加密企業家精神，漢林不僅編寫了《 Gate.io》的早期核心守則，而且還帶領了從利基平台到世界領先的加密貨幣交易平台之一的交流。最近，在香港共識會議上，漢林接受了與Panews的獨家採訪，分享了他從幕後到前舞台的心理旅程，以及他對行業未來發展的深刻見解。

Han Lin's entrepreneurial story began in 2013, when he started his own business after obtaining a postdoctoral degree in optoelectronics in Canada and accidentally came into contact with Bitcoin, an emerging asset. With his technical background, he quickly understood the potential of Bitcoin. In actual purchases, he found that there was a lack of safe and transparent trading platforms in the market, so he decided to start Gate.io. From the initial code writing to today's management and strategy formulation, Han Lin's role has undergone a transformation from technology development to industry leader. Although he admits that he is not good at external communication, in order to promote the development of the industry, he has frequently appeared in various activities and interviews in recent years to share his insights with people inside and outside the industry.

漢林（Han Lin）的企業家故事始於2013年，當時他在加拿大獲得了光電學博士學位後創辦了自己的業務，並意外地與新興資產比特幣接觸。在他的技術背景下，他很快了解了比特幣的潛力。在實際購買中，他發現市場上缺乏安全透明的交易平台，因此他決定開始Gate.io。從最初的代碼寫作到當今的管理和戰略制定，Han Lin的角色從技術開發到行業領導者進行了轉變。儘管他承認自己不擅長外部溝通，但為了促進該行業的發展，他經常出現在近年來的各種活動和訪談中，以與行業內外的人分享他的見解。

In the interview, Han Lin reviewed the development history of Gate.io and revealed the latest progress of the platform in terms of user growth, product innovation and global layout. He particularly mentioned that the number of Gate.io users increased from 13 million at the beginning of last year to more than 20 million at the end of the year, with a growth rate of more than 50%. Behind this achievement is Gate.io's keen sense of new projects and continuous optimization of user experience. Whether it is the early Litecoin and Dogecoin, or the recent Meme coin and AI projects, Gate.io has always been at the forefront of industry trends and provided diversified assets.

在採訪中，韓林回顧了Gate.io的發展歷史，並在用戶增長，產品創新和全球佈局方面揭示了該平台的最新進展。他特別提到，Gate.io用戶的數量從去年年初的1300萬增加到年底的超過2000萬，增長率超過50％。這項成就的背後是Gate.io對新項目的敏銳感以及對用戶體驗的持續優化。無論是早期的Litecoin和Dogecoin，還是最近的Meme Coin和AI項目，Gate.io一直處於行業趨勢的最前沿，並提供了多元化的資產。

Han Lin also shared his views on the future trends of the industry. He believes that the blockchain industry has entered a relatively stable stage. Although it is difficult to see the extreme ups and downs of the past, the overall penetration rate of the industry continues to increase. He specifically mentioned that Bitcoin, as a deflationary asset, is an ideal asset reserve tool due to its security and scarcity. If more institutions and countries include Bitcoin in the reserve asset system, the market's growth potential will be further released. In addition, Han Lin also emphasized the long-term trend of on-chain transactions and revealed that Gate.io began to deploy on-chain wallets and decentralized trading platforms (DEX) as early as 2018 to cope with this trend.

漢林還分享了他對行業未來趨勢的看法。他認為，區塊鏈行業進入了一個相對穩定的階段。儘管很難看到過去的極端起伏，但行業的總體滲透率仍在不斷提高。他特別提到，由於其安全性和稀缺性，比特幣作為通貨緊縮資產是一種理想的資產儲備工具。如果更多的機構和國家包括比特幣在儲備資產系統中，那麼市場的增長潛力將進一步發布。此外，韓林還強調了鏈交易的長期趨勢，並透露Gate.io早在2018年就開始部署鏈錢包和分散交易平台（DEX）來應對這一趨勢。

When talking about industry competition, Han Lin said that Gate.io's core competitiveness lies in its deep understanding of user needs and continuous innovation. For example, with the "100% reserve proof", Gate.io always puts user fund security and asset value first. In addition, Gate.io also sponsors Inter Milan and F1 Red Bull Team to enhance brand awareness and further expand brand influence.

在談論行業競爭時，漢林說，Gate.io的核心競爭力在於對用戶需求和持續創新的深刻理解。例如，使用“ 100％儲備證明”，Gate.io始終將用戶基金的安全性和資產價值放在首位。此外，Gate.io還贊助Inter Milan和F1 Red Bull團隊，以提高品牌知名度並進一步擴大品牌影響力。

以下是面試的內容：

From behind the scenes to the front stage, from academia to entrepreneurship

從幕後到前舞台，從學術界到企業家精神

PANews: You rarely accepted interviews in the past. Why have you appeared frequently in various activities and interviews in recent years? What is the work that takes up the most energy at present?

Panews：您過去很少接受采訪。近年來，為什麼您經常參加各種活動和訪談？目前佔用最大能量的工作是什麼？

Han Lin: Because I am mainly a technical person, I am not very good at external communication. In the past two years, the industry has developed very fast, and I also hope to communicate and share my ideas with everyone. Therefore, in the past two years, I have participated in more activities and discussed views with people inside and outside the industry.

漢林：因為我主要是技術人員，所以我擅長於外部交流。在過去的兩年中，該行業發展速度非常快，我也希望與所有人交流和分享我的想法。因此，在過去的兩年中，我參加了更多的活動，並與行業內部和外部的人討論了觀點。

PANews: I heard in the industry before that you are writing code at home when you are not in public. Is this a rumor or a fact?

Panews：在您不公開時，我在業內聽到您在家編寫代碼。這是謠言還是事實？

Han Lin: I wrote a lot of Gate.io's code in the early days, including the website, API and other basic development work. However, that was a long time ago. Gate.io has been established for 12 years. As the team continues to grow and more and more technical personnel are employed, my focus has gradually shifted to management and strategy. At present, I am mainly responsible for daily management, formulating the direction of industry development, and ensuring the quality of product and technology execution.

Han Lin：早期，我寫了很多Gate.io的代碼，包括網站，API和其他基本開發工作。但是，那是很久以前。 Gate.io已建立了12年。隨著團隊繼續增長，越來越多的技術人員被雇用，我的重點已逐漸轉移到管理和戰略上。目前，我主要負責日常管理，制定行業發展的方向以及確保產品和技術執行的質量。

PANews: What jobs did you do before founding Gate.io? Is this your first entrepreneurial venture?

Panews：您在啟動Gate.io之前做了什麼工作？這是您的第一個創業企業嗎？

Han Lin: This is my first time to start a business. Before that, I was
