The development of the digital asset trading market is accelerating, however, this also brings higher requirements for security. As a pioneer in the industry, Gate.io regards user fund protection and transaction security as the core responsibility of the platform, and has set a new benchmark in the industry with a systematic and multi-dimensional security layout. From transparent asset protection to refined risk control mechanisms, to technology-driven security innovation, Gate.io is leading the transformation of the crypto asset field by deeply building an industry ecosystem.
Multi-layer protection of user assets: deep links of transparency, security and trust
In the field of digital assets, users’ sense of security in fund storage is based on transparency and stability. Gate.io takes asset security to a whole new level through a highly professional fund management mechanism.
The industry benchmark for reserve fund audits
Gate.io has pioneered 100% reserve auditing among mainstream exchanges, and has cooperated with internationally recognized auditing organizations to achieve real-time verification of asset status using Merkle Tree technology. This publicly auditable asset management model not only reduces users' concerns about platform security, but also encourages the industry to continue to make progress in transparent operations. The core value of this initiative is that it is not only a commitment to users, but also an endorsement of the platform's credibility.
As of December 2024, the total value of Gate.io's reserves is nearly $10 billion, a record high. Among them, the total reserve ratio reached 123.91%, far exceeding the industry baseline. It is worth noting that the reserve ratios of the two mainstream cryptocurrencies BTC and ETH are about 20 percentage points higher than the industry average. In addition, the excess reserves reached $1.846 billion, once again breaking the historical record.
On the technical level, Gate.io is the first to introduce zero-knowledge proof technology (zk-SNARK) for reserve auditing to enhance asset transparency and user privacy protection. Through zero-knowledge proof, the platform can prove the adequacy of reserves to users without disclosing specific transaction data. This technological innovation not only improves the credibility of reserve auditing, but also promotes the healthy development of the entire digital asset trading ecosystem.
At the same time, through the four steps of cold and hot wallet confirmation, user balance snapshot, zk-SNARK verification and Merkle tree generation, users can easily verify that the platform has achieved 100% reserve coverage. At present, the reserve rate of most mainstream currencies remains above 100%. Users can view the complete audit report on the platform reserve page and verify the funds of their personal accounts at any time through the 100% reserve page .
Systematic support from SAFU Fund
Gate.io has built an additional security barrier for user assets based on the SAFU Fund. Since its launch in 2019, the SAFU Fund has always taken the protection of user assets as its core goal, and has provided users with strong security protection through industry-leading systematic solutions. The SAFU Fund has a cumulative value of more than 100 million US dollars and will continue to grow with the continued development of the platform.
The security of funds should not rely on a single mechanism. In extreme market environments, Gate.io provides users with additional asset protection by building a SAFU user security asset fund based on platform revenue. Regardless of market fluctuations, this fund can meet users' repayment needs with sufficient liquidity, forming a deep-level stability mechanism.
Multi-dimensional evolution of risk control system: Accurately control transaction risks
In the volatile crypto market, effective risk management is directly related to the user's trading experience and confidence. Gate.io uses sophisticated risk control measures to minimize the negative impact of market risks and create a more stable trading environment for users.
Isolated account and dynamically adjusted risk model
Gate.io gives users greater risk management autonomy through the position-by-position account mechanism, especially in volatile market conditions, position-by-position accounts can achieve risk isolation of assets. At the same time, real-time risk rate monitoring and personalized early warning mechanisms help users to identify potential risks in a timely manner and take measures. This dynamically adjusted risk control model finds a balance between user education and risk prevention and control, making risk control the "escort" in transactions.
Step-by-step forced liquidation mechanism and intelligent stop-profit and stop-loss
In contract trading, Gate.io adopts a step-by-step forced liquidation mechanism to flexibly adjust risk exposure and minimize excessive losses caused by systemic forced liquidation. At the same time, the intelligent stop-profit and stop-loss functions allow users to accurately set trigger conditions and take the initiative in complex markets. This mechanism forms a closed loop, which not only helps users effectively reduce risks, but also maintains the overall stability of the market.
Double protection of insurance funds
Gate.io has set up an insurance fund to provide traders with additional protection to prevent excessive losses caused by contract liquidation. During the forced liquidation process, even if the market fluctuates violently and the position loss exceeds the margin, the insurance fund can quickly intervene to make up for the loss and avoid triggering the automatic liquidation (ADL) mechanism, ensuring that user rights are not affected.
Highly transparent fund management
The insurance fund operates transparently and efficiently. When the forced liquidation price is better than the bankruptcy price, the surplus generated will be automatically injected into the fund to enhance its risk resistance. Users can check the fund balance at any time through the Gate.io contract page. The platform updates and discloses data daily to provide users with higher trust protection.
All-round stop-profit and stop-loss system: high degree of freedom to create perfect risk control
Gate.io is committed to building a comprehensive and flexible stop-profit and stop-loss system, providing users with a variety of options to meet the risk management needs in different trading scenarios. By combining a variety of technologies and strategies, users can freely set stop-profit and stop-loss based on price, fluctuation, yield and other conditions, far exceeding the traditional single price trigger mechanism, and comprehensively improving users' trading experience and risk response capabilities.
Full position and partial stop profit and stop loss: the core choice of efficient position closing
In the Gate.io stop-profit and stop-loss system, full-position stop-profit and stop-loss and partial stop-profit and stop-loss are the most popular and easy-to-use functions. Full-position stop-profit and stop-loss allow users to close all positions immediately when the trigger conditions are met, quickly locking in profits or limiting losses; while partial stop-profit and stop-loss allow users to close part of their positions and retain the remaining positions to respond to potential market opportunities.
Trailing and MMR stop-profit and stop-loss: Dynamic response to market fluctuations
The trailing stop-profit and stop-loss function will dynamically adjust the trigger price as the market price fluctuates in a favorable direction, ensuring that users can lock in profits while continuing to make profits. This mechanism effectively avoids the limitations of traditional fixed trigger points and helps users seize more market opportunities. MMR (maintenance margin ratio) stop-profit and stop-loss focus on the overall risk management of the account. When the risk level exceeds the user's preset threshold, the system automatically closes the position to prevent further losses.
Flexibility and efficiency: meeting diverse trading needs
Gate.io's stop-profit and stop-loss system provides users with a high degree of freedom in risk management tools. Whether it is precise control of positions or dynamic adjustment of strategies, users can flexibly respond to market changes according to their own needs. With the support of this complete system, Gate.io has created a safe, stable and flexible operating experience for traders, making every transaction more secure and more possible.
Comprehensive upgrade of unified account: efficient and leading new asset management experience
In complex digital asset transactions, a unified account system is becoming an important tool to improve the efficiency of user fund management. Gate.io provides users with flexible and efficient risk management solutions through gradient rule design and innovative function integration.
Gradient liability risk management
Gate.io has introduced a gradient liability risk management system to provide users with more flexible trading support. First, the gradient maintenance margin rate significantly reduces the user's margin requirements, and through the dynamic adjustment mechanism, users can enjoy a better liquidation price level. This design can significantly improve the account's ability to resist volatility and provide strong support for robust operations in complex markets.
In addition, the gradient leverage ratio and limit cover more than 200 currencies, and the maximum leverage ratio has been increased from 3 times to 20 times. The diverse leverage options bring users greater strategic flexibility, helping them achieve their trading goals more efficiently.
Rich collateral options
The unified account supports the use of Yubibao financial products as collateral for margin, providing users with greater financial flexibility. This feature allows users to realize asset appreciation while engaging in leveraged trading, greatly improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of funds. At the same time, the platform supports 130+ currency spot assets as collateral, and initiates a gradient guarantee adjustment coefficient to maximize the use of the US dollar value of the collateral assets as margin.
Through comprehensive optimization of unified accounts, Gate.io combines efficient asset management tools with flexible fund utilization strategies to build a safer and more convenient trading environment for users, and also explores a new path of innovative development for the industry.
In-depth exploration of technological innovation: safety drives industry upgrade
In the ever-changing crypto industry, technological innovation is an important path to break through the traditional security model. Gate.io is supported by cutting-edge technology, providing users with a full range of technical guarantees from on-chain monitoring to risk identification.
Smart contract auditing and data monitoring
With the popularity of decentralized transactions, the security of smart contracts has become a focus of users. Gate.io has established a comprehensive smart contract security audit system to timely identify potential contract vulnerabilities and abnormal transaction behaviors through on-chain data monitoring. This not only reduces the probability of on-chain fraud, but also increases users' trust in smart contract transactions. Currently, there are 1,559 contracts included, covering 57 types of contract vulnerabilities.
The groundbreaking significance of the Prometheus system
In response to the high-risk nature of ledger trading, Gate.io launched the world's first Prometheus risk control system. This system uses advanced data analysis models and behavior monitoring algorithms to control high leverage and unreasonable trading behaviors from the source, providing users with a new trading protection experience. At the same time, it also provides the entire industry with a risk control standard that can be used as a reference, and points the way for the standardized development of ledger trading.
The Prometheus risk control system protects the security of copy trading with three core functions. It is suitable for ordinary users, high net worth investors and institutional investors who want to balance returns and risks in copy trading.
First, the leverage limit function of the system sets the maximum leverage value of the person who leads the order, which prevents high-risk entry from the source. Secondly, the real leverage limit dynamically intervenes in the trading process, and when uncontrolled position increase is found, it is restricted in time to prevent further expansion of losses. Finally, the net value retracement stop loss mechanism enforces full position stop loss when the net value retracement of the person who leads the order reaches the set ratio, providing users with consistent rights and interests protection.
The core connection of user-first: How security measures empower users
Gate.io closely links platform technology innovation with user needs through multi-dimensional security measures. Whether it is the transparency of reserve audits or the efficiency of insurance funds and risk control systems, these measures are aimed at enhancing user trust and trading experience.
For ordinary users, the transparent asset management mechanism allows them to clearly understand the security status of their assets, significantly reducing concerns about the reliability of the platform; for high-frequency traders and institutional users, the dynamically adjusted risk control mechanism and real-time intervention strategy provide greater operating space and risk management capabilities, making transactions more stable and efficient.
At the same time, these measures directly improve the user experience in extreme markets. For example, when the market fluctuates violently, the insurance fund and MMR stop-profit and stop-loss mechanism quickly intervene to help users avoid the possibility of excessive losses. The position-by-position account and intelligent stop-profit and stop-loss functions provide users with tools to flexibly deal with risks, so that each transaction can receive more scientific risk assessment and protection.
Gate.io’s comprehensive security protection is not only a technical guarantee, but also a source of user asset security. It also elevates the user experience to a new level and lays the foundation for the long-term sustainable development of the platform.
Compliance and responsibility: From platform management to the improvement of industry standards
In addition to security and risk control, the compliance and social responsibility awareness of the platform are also crucial. Gate.io has demonstrated its foresight and responsibility as a leading platform through compliance practices and industry responsibilities.
Global Compliance Layout
Facing the differentiated requirements of regulatory policies in various countries, Gate Group actively promotes global compliance operations and has completed regulatory registration and licensing in multiple major markets. This move provides users with more comprehensive legal protection and significantly enhances the platform's competitiveness in the global market.
The global compliance strategy shows that Gate.io focuses on the long-term vision of a high-quality trading platform, focusing on both short-term interests and long-term sustainable development. Currently, Gate Group has successfully obtained regulatory licenses or approvals in many countries and regions including Hong Kong, Gibraltar, Malta, Italy, and Australia.
Industry responsibility and ecological promotion
As a leader in the industry, Gate.io continues to promote the development of the entire ecosystem through technology sharing and standard output. From transparent operations to user education, Gate.io is establishing more sound operating rules for the industry with a responsible attitude. This is not only a shaping of its own image, but also a positive contribution to the overall standardized development of the industry.
As users pay more and more attention to asset security and transaction stability, Gate.io continues to consolidate its leading position in the industry with its multi-dimensional security design and deep sense of responsibility. From reserve audits to intelligent risk control systems to global compliance layout, every step of Gate.io is constantly raising the industry's security standards.
As the market environment becomes more complex, Gate.io will continue to uphold the principle of user-first, push the industry towards a more efficient, safer and more trustworthy direction, and contribute greater strength to the healthy development of digital asset transactions.
