在接受WU区块链创始人Colin Wu的采访中，Gate Exchange创始人Han Lin分享了他的创业旅程，平台战略进化和行业见解。

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.

在从加拿大获得光电学博士学位后，韩回到中国开展业务。 2013年，在试图购买13999 BTC的同时，他被骗，损失了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.

在他的创业初期，他几乎独立完成了所有开发工作。他还指出，合规性具有很高的短期成本和较低的回报，但最终是必要的。

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，韩对香港市场非常感兴趣，并正在考虑重新安排相关许可的应用程序。他正在对相关领域进行投资，例如支持芯片公司以提高计算效率。

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.

该公司的资产储备主要用于比特币和以太坊，目前尚无明显的周期性模式。汉对今年的趋势相对乐观。

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.

他的大部分时间仍然花在技术和产品上，他希望每个人都保持扎根，不要太浮躁，避免了捷径和弯曲。

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

来自加拿大的光电学博士学位，首次接触比特币时被骗了

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：我记得您最初在山东大学学习了学士学位和硕士学位，然后在加拿大获得博士学位。你的专业是什么？

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.

汉林：我研究了电子设备；我的本科专业是电子科学技术。后来，我被建议从事研究生学习，然后去加拿大获得光电学博士学位。

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

科林：您是否在毕业后开始了企业家旅行？

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.

汉林：毕业后，我在加拿大做了一年的博士后，然后回到中国开展业务。当时，我有一些我认为可以在行业中应用的研究结果，因此我成立了一家公司来开发光电仿真软件，后来又转移到了高性能计算。

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

科林：是什么促使您进入虚拟资产行业？有报道提到您很早就被骗了吗？

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：在高性能计算工作时，我需要使用图形卡，发现许多人使用它们来开采比特币，所以我开始研究比特币白皮书。由于我的技术背景，我很快了解了比特币的技术价值，并产生了强烈的个人兴趣。后来，当我试图在论坛上购买比特币（如BitCointalk）时，我被骗了，损失了约2,000美元。

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

科林：当时，价值100比特币的价值？

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

汉林：总价约为3,000加元（相当于2,000美元以上）。

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

从筹码到交易所：重型资产模型有限，交易平台轻资产和自控

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：在您的电子产品背景下，您还参加了采矿吗？您为什么不继续在采矿或芯片场中发展？

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.

汉林：我确实参加了芯片设计和采矿机制造。 2013年，我们购买了一批Avalon芯片，并试图设计采矿机，但后来意识到了芯片行业的问题：重型资产模型受供应链的极大限制，供应链长期采购和生产周期和高不确定性。

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，交易平台以轻型资产模型运行，在该模型中，所有流程（例如钱包部署，交易系统，存款和提款功能）都可以通过软件实现，从而允许更大的自主权。因此，我将重点转移到了交易平台上。

Colin: When was the Gate trading platform launched?

科林：何时推出门交易平台？

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：它于2013年4月正式推出。当时，很少有全球交易平台，主要集中在日本台湾（例如Gox山）和俄罗斯（例如BTC-E）。中国大陆的球队很少。我记得只有比奇纳。

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

科林：2017年门更名的原因是什么？它与监管政策有关吗？

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.

汉林：2013年，国内政策相对友好，闭路电视报道了比特币支付方案（例如购买咖啡和衣服）。但是，随着比特币的价格从年初的20-30美元上涨到年底到年底的1,000美元以上，监管政策的收紧了。

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

因此，我们将实体移动到海外并开始全球运营。

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

现货优先战略：对创新资产的早期下注，合同业务由于风险而保守

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的特征是其强大的现货业务，而与其他交易所相比，合同业务并不是重点。总体策略如何考虑？

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

汉林：这与历史背景有关。当我们最初建立交易平台时，我个人更喜欢新技术，因此我们推出了大量创新资产。例如，在2013年，我们是第一个列出“ Dogecoin”和
