On January 22nd, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han participated in an AMA (Ask Me Anything), sharing industry insights and the platform's New Year outlook, while also maintaining close interaction with the community. Dr. Han stated that the Web3 industry differs from traditional industries; its work methods and pace cannot be simply measured by conventional job models. As a platform in a high-growth phase, Gate's rapid business development requires the participation of outstanding talent with professional skills and a willingness to grow. Gate adheres to the principle of "high input, high return," providing employees with rewards and incentives commensurate with their contributions. Simultaneously, it helps teams accumulate experience, broaden their horizons, and transform daily work experience into skills that support long-term personal development, while also working alongside partners who share this growth philosophy. Looking towards 2026, Gate has clearly stated its long-term direction of building a "best employer brand" and will focus its resources on three specific initiatives: optimizing career development and learning systems to provide employees with clear growth paths and opportunities for skill enhancement; continuously improving employee experience and welfare support so that teams feel cared for in terms of daily work and well-being; and establishing a more transparent and fair evaluation and incentive mechanism to create a positive feedback loop between contribution and reward. Dr. Han stated that he hopes Gate can become a platform where employees are willing to develop long-term, where they can see a clear career path, gain continuous learning and growth opportunities, and feel the company's respect and recognition of their personal value.
