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.

在加密货币行业中，具有技术背景的创始人通常会扮演他​​们深厚的专业背景和对行业的深刻理解。就像Xu Mingxing一样，OKX的创始人和Bate.io的创始人Han Lin的创始人Zhao Changpeng也是该领域的典型代表。从学术研究转变为加密企业家精神，汉林不仅编写了《 Gate.io》的早期核心守则，而且还带领了从利基平台到世界领先的加密货币交易平台之一的交流。最近，在香港共识会议上，汉林接受了与Panews的独家采访，分享了他从幕后到前舞台的心理旅程，以及他对行业未来发展的深刻见解。

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.

汉林（Han Lin）的企业家故事始于2013年，当时他在加拿大获得了光电学博士学位后创办了自己的业务，并意外地与新兴资产比特币接触。在他的技术背景下，他很快了解了比特币的潜力。在实际购买中，他发现市场上缺乏安全透明的交易平台，因此他决定开始Gate.io。从最初的代码写作到当今的管理和战略制定，Han Lin的角色从技术开发到行业领导者进行了转变。尽管他承认自己不擅长外部沟通，但为了促进该行业的发展，他经常出现在近年来的各种活动和访谈中，以与行业内外的人分享他的见解。

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.

在采访中，韩林回顾了Gate.io的发展历史，并在用户增长，产品创新和全球布局方面揭示了该平台的最新进展。他特别提到，Gate.io用户的数量从去年年初的1300万增加到年底的超过2000万，增长率超过50％。这项成就的背后是Gate.io对新项目的敏锐感以及对用户体验的持续优化。无论是早期的Litecoin和Dogecoin，还是最近的Meme Coin和AI项目，Gate.io一直处于行业趋势的最前沿，并提供了多元化的资产。

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.

汉林还分享了他对行业未来趋势的看法。他认为，区块链行业进入了一个相对稳定的阶段。尽管很难看到过去的极端起伏，但行业的总体渗透率仍在不断提高。他特别提到，由于其安全性和稀缺性，比特币作为通货紧缩资产是一种理想的资产储备工具。如果更多的机构和国家包括比特币在储备资产系统中，那么市场的增长潜力将进一步发布。此外，韩林还强调了链交易的长期趋势，并透露Gate.io早在2018年就开始部署链钱包和分散交易平台（DEX）来应对这一趋势。

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.

在谈论行业竞争时，汉林说，Gate.io的核心竞争力在于对用户需求和持续创新的深刻理解。例如，使用“ 100％储备证明”，Gate.io始终将用户基金的安全性和资产价值放在首位。此外，Gate.io还赞助Inter Milan和F1 Red Bull团队，以提高品牌知名度并进一步扩大品牌影响力。

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

从幕后到前舞台，从学术界到企业家精神

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：您过去很少接受采访。近年来，为什么您经常参加各种活动和访谈？目前占用最大能量的工作是什么？

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.

汉林：因为我主要是技术人员，所以我擅长于外部交流。在过去的两年中，该行业发展速度非常快，我也希望与所有人交流和分享我的想法。因此，在过去的两年中，我参加了更多的活动，并与行业内部和外部的人讨论了观点。

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：在您不公开时，我在业内听到您在家编写代码。这是谣言还是事实？

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.
