Gate.io's channel was initially created to share and exchange information about the blockchain industry. The first stream went live in September 2019 and quickly gained extensive traction and participation.

As the first-ever live stream channel of a crypto exchange, Gate.io aims to integrate users, project teams, and the exchange through sharing sessions of professionals and experts in cryptocurrency. This forms a new type of interaction between users and experts, creating a more sophisticated forum discussion for the community to grow.

So far, the streaming sessions have included various activities, such as AMA, knowledge exchange about the industry, blockchain news, Q&A, meeting broadcast, and entertainment. Gate.io is currently looking for more streamers to produce even more diverse quality content for the channel. If you are interested, here's everything you need to know about it.

 

Brief Introduction to Gate.io

Gate.io is one of the oldest China-based crypto exchanges in the world that has been established since 2013. Originally, the exchange was called Bter.com but then rebranded into Gate.io in 2017 due to the Chinese government regulations prohibiting fiat-to-crypto trading. The company was forced to close the old domain, stopped its fiat-to-crypto trading service, and shifted its focus to crypto-to-crypto trading and Chinese yuan OTC trades only.

As of today, Gate.io supports a wide ion of no less than 1,200 cryptocurrencies, including some of the most famous ones like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Binance Coin (BNB), EOS (EOS) and Cardano (ADA). However, note that some coins are not available for clients in certain locations due to strict regulations from the local government.

Moreover, Gate.io offers competitive fees and high-security measures for its users. In order to protect the users' funds, the company uses various methods, such as hot and cold crypto storage, two-factor authentication (2FA) with Google Authenticator, login verifications, anti-phishing code, blind IP logins, and Know Your Customer (KYC) process.

It's worth mentioning that back in 2019, Gate.io suffered a high-profile hack that resulted in the loss of $200,000 in crypto assets, though about half of it was later recovered. In August 2020, the platform even ranked as the top exchange with the best cybersecurity according to Cryptocurrency Exchange Ranking (CER); a third-party that evaluates cybersecurity in crypto exchanges.
